What is the Premium service offer?

Sorry: this offer is now closed. Check here for any current offer that might be running.

 

*** For a limited period only, while we test the idea, you can enjoy a 10 day free trial of this service. What happens is that you sign up and authorise payment, but no payment is made for 10 days. During that time you will be able to look at the contents of the Premium section of the website and read any e-briefings and other articles published during that time. If you don't like what you see, simply cancel the payment. If you don't already subscribe to Computers in Classrooms, you will need to sign up for that at the same time in order to take advantage of this opportunity. ***

This service gives you access to the entire database of articles on the Terry Freedman's Articles website. Unlike the Computers in Classrooms newsletter  or the free part of the website, this is a paid-for service.

Have access to all of the articles on the website. (When you click on an article stored in the subscriber-only part of the website, you will be asked for your username and password. This will happen only the first time (or sometimes twice, depending on what browser you are using) in a session. After that, it will "remember" you until you finish using the internet on that occasion.)

The articles in the premium section:

  • are stored in a searchable database
  • may be viewed in, and printed from, a printer-friendly format
  • allow you to easily email the author with your suggestion and comments
  • are mainly concerned with practical issues relating to the teaching and learning of information and communication technology in the classroom
  • deal with very specific issues, eg the recruitment of teachers of educational computing
  • deal with matters in detail, that is, they are intended to give practical guidance and advice as far as possible
  • are usually part of a series, intended to cover particular topics in depth.

The premium service subscription gives you access to all of these articles.

Those are the main features of the premium service -- now consider the benefits by going to the pages listed on the left-hand side of your screen.

Alternatively, why wait a moment longer when you could sign up now?! The single most important benefit you'll gain from subscribing is saving time, because of our regular e-briefing. This is an electronic bulletin, never longer than 2 sides, giving information about important new developments, documents or news items.

In compiling the e-briefing, we consult at least 20 educational news sources. Bearing this in mind, it's not hard to see that the time you might save by reading just one e-Briefing could justify the cost of the annual subscription.

"A very useful site which not only offers useful and comprehensive advice, but also offers useful links to further information, saving a lot of precious time." (Cheryl, a trainee teacher who subscribes to the Premium service.)

"Terry, I have thoroughly enjoyed this series." (A teacher trainer, on the series called Characteristics of Boring ICT Lessons)

"Your [Premium] site is the only place on the internet where the comments and explanations are directly useful to ICT teaching in the real world.  No messing about, no pie in the sky 'classrooms of the future' rubbish.  When I read an article I'm normally either struck by the thought that "yes, that really is the issue we're facing at the moment" or "That's a good idea, we should try this out".  Thus, I find the articles refreshingly direct, honest and useful for ICT teaching, learning and management.  The content is immediately useful for all involved with ICT.

"Having 'read' all my documentation and carefully filed it in my "ICT subject leader development folder" and the like, I find myself reaching the same conclusions that you reach in your articles.  You're focusing on the issues that matter in ICT teaching today.
 
"That's what I like!  ... and I'm annoyed with myself for not visiting the site more often." (Andre Field, Head of Information & Communication Technology)
