Info about Building Connections

Building Connections is a website with a difference. It is a resource for schools which aims to help teachers and pupils by providing a stimulating and extensive range of educational materials, ideas and case studies that can enrich learning and teaching across the entire curriculum. For teachers, it offers the opportunity to enhance the planning of programmes of study with resources that connect to the Scottish curriculum guidelines. For pupils of all ages, it provides a rich source of information and activities for individual study, class and group work as well as many ideas for project based work. But it’s important to remember that these electronic resources are no substitute for the experience of real buildings.

The Building Connections website also connects to www.ScottishArchitecture.com which gives detailed information on many aspects of architecture, planning and related disciplines including career paths.

Building Connections has been developed by The Lighthouse for the National Grid for Learning. Advice was provided by a range of project partners in the field of education including Learning and Teaching Scotland as well as teachers in primary and secondary schools. The development of the Building Connections website was funded by the Scottish Executive. Building Connections and www.ScottishArchitecture.com are both partnership initiatives with The Lighthouse taking forward the aims and objectives of the Executive's policy on architecture.
