An increasing range of collaborative services are being developed that are available to schools directly through the National Education Network and across the JANET interconnects to schools in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

Making the News is a regional news online publishing service with a world-wide audience available free to schools. Simple to use online submission forms link to a wide range of digital-age publishing tools such as “flash-blogging”, web cams and short video sequences.
Making the News has been developed by the East of England RBC and is available free through the JANET Interconnects to all schools.
