HARNESSING TECHNOLOGY GRANT
Quite a few schools are now paying for their Zut subscription using a new grant called Harnessing Technology. This grant replaces eLCs funding. Bear in mind, you might need to take up a 2 year subscription in one go as "The grant must be spent on the acquisition of productive assets that will have a life longer than the financial year they are purchased".
You can find more information on the following websites:

NEW MATERIAL
We have just added new Flash games for KS3 and 10 new video based exercises for Years 12 and 13. You will find them under different topics, marked as "new". We hope you will find them useful
FUTURE PLANS
We will be adding new "Vocab and Pronunciation" sections for Year 12
We will be adding a grammar section for Years 12 and 13.
We are still working on a Flash version of most of our exercises which should make our sites more fun for pupils to use.
If you need any more information, do not hesitate to get in touch with us either through feedback or directly to webmistress@zut.org.uk
Please let me know how we can improve our sites in any way.
Catherine Murphy, September 2010
"If your child is stuck learning lists of German vocab, or how to unravel “der, die and das”, a visit to Gut is recommended. With familiar headings such as pets, food and clothes, a pupil starting out with the language should be able to find the topic they are working on. They can then feast on inter-active exercises as they wish. Different strategies work for different pupils, so the site’s range of approaches is really gut: there are writing, matching and crossword exercises, pictures, text and listening tasks. All offer the instant feedback that you do not enjoy in the classroom until books come back from teacher. A new site, Gut covers only years 7-9 (ages 12-14), but it shows that learning at home does not require a flashy “wow” factor when variety and good exercises are on offer."
