The GPS Bradford Peace Trail is now ready for schools to use!!!

Year 10 pupils from Rhodesway School have helped design a GPS interactive trail (with support from Education Bradford's Curriculum ICT and Diversity and Cohesion Teams) for use by other schools. The GPS trail follows the city centre sites which explain Bradford's long association with peace and the Peace Movement, as chronicled in the Bradford City for Peace, Peace Trail guidebook. See www.cityforpeace.org.uk 

The GPS trail is particularly useful in supporting ICT, Citizenship, English and History. 

If you have a GPS Smartphone you can download the interactive version of the Peace Trail that was designed by pupils from Rhodesway School. Just follow the instructions below. To view the trail and download to your computer click on http://www.mscapers.com/msin/ABA0000554
