• The biggest difference Espresso has made to our
  school is the motivation and confidence it has
  given teachers to use ICT. It's an enabler - so
  easy to use that Espresso removes the need for
  ICT skills. Thanks to Espresso, we focus on
  subjects, and ICT becomes only a tool.

What users have said

• Easy to use even when ICT is not a strong point!
  Lots to use for KS1 - written specifically for
  young children (unlike a lot of material on the
  web).

What users have said

• Children love the video clips, as they are short
  and focused they grab their attention and engage
  them with the subject straight away. Espresso is
  also very popular in our school's lunchtime and
  before school Internet clubs, with many children
  including it in their 'Favourites'.

What users have said

• The schools in Kings Cross EAZ place high value
  on Espresso. Teachers find it very easy to use
  and appealing to infants, juniors and secondary
  school pupils alike. After only six months of
  use, it is something which we could not do
  without.
