    Default Directgov for kids

    I've eaten, slept and breathed Directgov for several years now (even comes on hols with us as hubby works from home at most inappropriate times! ) but I didn't know they had a kiddie section til he pointed it out today. haven't had a good look but just skimming it looks like it could be useful for knowledge and understanding of the world (as well as ICT, too!).

    Why is "phonics" not spelled the way it sounds?

    Yeah, he does, AJS. He's the deputy CEO. Ask me exactly what he does and I'd have to say attends meetings, writes reports and creates lots of spread sheets!

    *edit* Okay, I just Googled Connecting for Health. I'm sure hubby has mentioned that in the past. Very worthwhile, bringing dinosauer of government and NHS into the the computer era! Beats long queues and inefficiency due to lost paperwork!

    Will do, Angel. In fact, if you wanted, you can e-mail their help desk letting them know that you found and used the kiddie section.
