About this site

This website came out of a university ICT project, in which the objective was to produce an interactive online learning resource covering an area of the primary curriculum for use in the classroom.  It is intended to support teachers of Year 2 children with QCA history Unit 5 "How do we know about the Great Fire of London?"  It is recommended that teachers familiarise pupils with the navigation of the site prior to them using it independently.

The site I have produced has been extensively researched by myself and evaluated by a class of Year 2 children and their class teacher. It was produced in Microsoft Front Page 2003, and is suitable for use on Microsoft Explorer 5, 6 and 7, and also in Mozilla Firefox. I am currently working on making the site compatiable with Google Chrome. Whichever browser you do use however, please ensure it is enabled for both pop-ups and JavaScript. I have also tested the site it for accessibility, and produced text-only versions of most pages. Because of the visual nature of the page however, I have not produced a text-only page for the clickable interactive map of London.

Any comments or ideas for lesson activities using this site would be greatly appreciated.
