On 04 May, ASUS in association with the Guardian is launching a new educational website that will be dedicated to exploring how technology is being used in the classroom today, and how this will evolve in the future.



The site can be found at www.guardian.co.uk/classroom-innovation



With the growing emphasis on Information and Communication Technologies within the Education environment “now is the perfect time to open up to explore how the rapid advances in technology can complement, enable and be adapted to the practical realities of teaching in the classroom” says John Swatton, of Asus UK.



Colin Hughes, Director, Business and Professional, Guardian News & Media, said “this new website offers users an extension of our education pages and enables them to open up a further dialogue with professionals in all fields of education.”



Classroom Innovation will open the school gates on 04 May and the content, refreshed on a regular basis, will include features exploring sustainability in schools and how to offset costs in light of looming budget cuts, the use of mobile and handheld devices in the classroom and just what are the implications of cloud computing for the education sector.



The Assembly will be a teacher’s blog that gives teachers a space to express their opinion outside the restraints of the classroom and the staff room. The first month’s blog focuses on issues of e-safety and the importance of teaching how to be discerning on the web.



In addition, each month Asus will be offering some great competition prizes to be won.



In May this will be one of five of the very distinctive and fun Asus Eee PC 1001PQ’s that are the ideal netbook for computing safely for kids on the go.



The site will carry Asus sponsorship credit on each page and will be promoted via a combination of in-paper and online advertising.



So, join us in the classroom of the present and come along to wonder at expectations of the future in Classroom Innovation at guardian.co.uk.
