Description:
This is a group formed by Jill Hammonds to support the e-Learning aspect of raising student achievement in literacy. It is the main e-Learning literacy group for Te Toi Tupu Consortium, but is open to all interested in raising student achievement in literacy through focused use of e-Learning.
