> The updated NGfL portal has been launched at BETT (British Educational
> Technology Show) today at http://www.ngfl.gov.uk with improved
> functionality and a new look-and-feel. The additions to the site include
> links to over 40 new sites which have been added to the 'Museums and
> Galleries', 'Libraries and Archives' sections. The new features on the
> site cover educational resources, news and events in the regions, a
> directory of educational job sites, and 'Favourite Sites', selected by a
> featured personality (this month, Lord Puttnam).
>
> The NGfL is aimed at people interested in education in the broadest sense.
> It is not exclusively for teachers and this is reflected in the 'What's
> New' section, which will direct users to sites that may interest them as
> children or lifelong learners.
>
> The 'Libraries and Archives' section will continue to expand as more
> organisations make educational resources available on the web.
>
> If your organisation has not yet registered its website, information and
> the online application form can be found by clicking on the 'Link Your
> Site' button on the NGfL homepage.
>
> I hope you will take a look at the new site. The design and functionality
> will continue to develop in response to evaluation. The NGfL content team
> are always interested in your comments, so if you have any feedback please
> let me know.
>
> Also, BECTa (DfEE funded agency that manages the NGfL) has just produced a
> CDRom 'Making Web Sites Work' which has good practice examples of school
> and FE sites and some tips on design more generally. It is available free
> of charge - contact me if you would like one.
