Upgrade for Both Sides of the Fence education site

School children around New Zealand will enjoy a more colourful, dynamic and fun experience when using the popular Both Sides of the Fence education website. The site has been recently upgraded with new and improved features and a more vibrant look overall.

The interactive, curriculum-aligned website was launched by the New Zealand Walking Access Commission in November 2012 and has since been visited by thousands of teachers and students.

The latest changes, which include a new look home page, improved image gallery and comprehensive teaching materials, have been made following a site review and survey of teachers.

Commission Chief Executive Mark Neeson said the survey feedback from teachers was invaluable.

“The site review helped us to identify many different areas for improvement. These have been completed and will make the site more engaging for teachers and students. As well as excellent suggestions for improvements, it was heartening to see many positive comments about the website.â€
