DirectgovKids
[SUMMARY—Educating kids about government.]
(UK) DirectgovKids attempts the impossible—to educate five to elevent year olds through a website about Government and public services in a fun way.
Apart from the HUGE design no-no of resizing your browser, the site is very interactive and you can get a flavour of how it could be used to compliment the current curriculum. Gail O'Flaherty, Head Teacher at St Edmund's, said:
The site explains in a fun and informative way many of today's key issues, including healthy living and eating, food production and recycling. Our School Council have found the site useful as they have petitioned our local council for a lollipop lady and the process is explained on the website.
