Free Resources From the National Education Network

The National Education Network (NEN) is a dedicated education network shared by schools, further and higher education delivered exclusively through the ten Regional Broadband Consortia (RBCs).  The NEN harnesses the power of broadband technology to deliver unique content and services to support teaching and learning. Funding is provided by the DCSF and each local authority.

The following are a selection of free resources for CLEO broadband connected schools, available from the National Education Network and other regional broadband consortia.

Find more resources by using our search faclility or links from the NEN website.
