The Big Bus on Netbooks and PDAs

Netbooks are ideal for children to explore the worlds of The Big Bus. Children can connect online where ever they are and enjoy the same experience as they would on a conventional computer.

You can also enjoy the same experience with The Big Bus on a PDA. The Big Bus PDA Edition will work on Windows PDAs with a VGA (640 x 480) resolution school. This is a special version that works offline, anywhere.

Users get the same resources that are offered in our Online Subscription service - only some of the menu screens have been modified to make them more appropriate to the PDA format.

The key benefits of netbook and PDA versions include:

  • the ability to continue lessons started on the whiteboard
  • the option of child centred learning programmes
  • the extended use of The Big Bus outside school hours with parents and siblings
