This easy-to-navigate website is a great facility for teachers to create and share activities and is in an accessible format. Students can use the activities during class or from home. A strength of the site is that it offers activities created for a particular area of learning – key concepts can be reinforced and extension activities developed to build on class work. Subscribing teachers can target and develop excellent resources to support their teaching plans, and the non-paying user can make use of activities already there.

The site looks at how to check on information quality, and lists eight checkpoints you need to analyse information found on the Internet. It uses imaginary examples, quizzes and puzzles to let the children find out for themselves the concepts surrounding information quality. Because the site is supported by the Health Education Authority, many of the examples are health related, but the concepts can be used in any subject that requires information skills. Older pupils with Special Educational Needs can use this site successfully.
