> effective approaches to implementing priorities 2 and 3 of the DfES
> eStrategy.
>

> support and advice, assistive technology, on-line learning spaces, VLEs,
> MLEs, and related technologies.

> Becta we include examples of effective approaches that you are
> implementing and your best advice about strategies that work, blockers to
> implementation, and other 'lessons' that you have learnt through the good
> work that you are involved with.

> you best.

> Your input is important in order to help maximise the quality of the
> recommendations and examplars that we include in our report. We anticipate
> that a version of this report will be published by Becta, which we will be
