ICT TOOLKIT

We feature the ten providers we most frequently work with below and we pass on discounts and project opportunities - email liz.hitchcock@britishcouncil.org - or phone 0161 957 7755
 
Some services are costed, some are free, some offer training - the service levels are varying. Some support languages, others run projects. All the costed ones offer a free trial and free teacher accounts. We've worked with schools that have used each of these tools and platforms so feel free to ask us about them!
