Software Criteria

Accomplishes a useful task - especially has educational value.. not just time filling!
Works in a friendly way (uses windows, mouse, menus). Follows OS conventions.
Windows/graphics and menus are clear and easy to use (semi-professional looking)
You would use it in your class!
When trying out any software it is good to test it on one machine before putting it on others so that you check out any possible conflicts with existing software that you might have. It is even better if you have taken a disc image of your installation before testing any software.

Freeware Warning!! Some freeware uses software like Aureate to send information about you and to link into on-line adds. This means they may broadcast to your proxy server, or send information about your computer/preferences while on-line. The ones we are providing are "Spyware free"... look for this.

We suggest you use spyware removal software to check your system if using Windows (MacOSX computers have no spyware problems at this stage). Virus and Spyware Reviews & PC Magazine Reviews

I had to make a specific section as I am a dinkum kiwi!

We have placed a large number of New Zealand links in our database and even devoted a special section to exploring education in New Zealand.

New Zealand educators have placed some of the best teaching resources on-line in the world... check out this site!
