Coming Soon - Titanic

15th April 2012 is the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. To mark the occasion ictopus has a fantastic new resource collection - databases of the passengers and crew with notes and teaching ideas. We shall be launching these in SGP133 so that you will have the Easter break to plan how to use them in your teaching. Don’t forget to log in on 10th March to see the new Titanic section of the ictopus website!!!
