Cinema arrived in 1895 and had reached almost every corner of the globe by the end of 1896. At the close of the nineteenth century it was firmly established as a medium of entertainment, instruction and experiment, making fortunes and reputations and changing the very way that people looked on their world.

A Victorian shop
http://www.ictadvice.org.uk/index.php?section=tl&cat=001001005&rid=5579
This activity took place with a Year 1 class during the autumn term in a two-form entry inner city primary school. The school is situated in an area of social deprivation where one third of the class had special needs, and a substantial minority did not have English as their first language. Most classes have access to only two computers, one of which has internet access.
The general aims were to give the pupils an introduction to ?he way of life of people in the more distant past?by examining what shops looked like in the Victorian era.
