what Education, Computing & Technology magazine wrote about Espresso
"I have to confess that my favourite (online learning
resource) is Espresso. I am all for an eclectic approach to education and
with Espresso, many diverse multimedia materials are available instantly online,
accessible by one and all without the fear of becoming dated."
Chris Drage, Education, Computing and Technology
Magazine
"After only six months of use, many of the teachers
consider Espresso something they could not do without."

"This CD-ROM makes a valuable contribution to the
study support materials available to students undertaking a GCSE in physical
education. It will be a useful addition to school learning resource centres
and for personal use by students at home."
Review of GCSE PE CD-ROM - Computer Education,
November 2002
"[Espresso] is easier to use than the Internet
and every week there is more information. It is suitable for all year groups,
including the pupils on our SEN register."
An Alternative to the Web - Special Children,
October 2002 (quoting Romani Edwards, ICT Coordinator, Lady Margaret Primary
School in Southall)
"Lots of schools have used their tuck shop as the
stimulus for ICT work, looking at spreadsheets for ordering stock, but Woodfield
[special school] must surely be the first to do the reverse - they have developed
a tuck shop as a result of their ICT work. "Espresso do fantastic support
materials," enthused Mary Brooke, Deputy Head, "and once the children
had seen what Coke can do to your teeth, they decided to explore a healthier
lifestyle, so they started a tuck shop with a difference. We don't have crisps
and pop, but we provide flapjacks with reduced sugar and substitute brown
flour for white."

"Even reluctant mathematicians are likely to be
drawn in by games such as Beat the Clock."
Headteacher Update, September 2002 (reviewing
Primary Maths)
"Espresso is an excellent resource with a style
and ease of use that would do credit to Sherston Software and the speed and
clarity that is the hallmark of broadband connectivity."
Broadly Speaking - Gary Cornford, Literacy &
Learning, July/August 2002
"It is the most motivating resource I have come
across for GCSE PE."
PE and ICT Mix It Up - Acorn User, July 2002
(quoting Jonathan Crone, Head of PE at Dyke House School in Hartlepool)
"Designed to stimulate children and teach them
skills relevant to their Key Stage, Espresso brings events from the real world
into the classroom."
Espress Yourself - EC&T, June/July 2002
2000
"Espresso is an integrated learning package, which
is intuitive to use and quick to navigate."
