We were sent an approval copy of Darkfire Education's 'Cracking ICT' CD.
Cracking ICT is a series of CD-ROMs containing narrated video lessons covering Microsoft Word, Excel, Publisher, PowerPoint, Email and the Internet. They are intended for use with children and adults, so you can use them in the classroom and for staff training.
I was really surprised by how good the tutorials were. The disc we had demonstrated PowerPoint. It has three skill levels so beginners and more advanced users can learn. The best thing is that they are not American, but the narrators have an English accent. I can easily see how they can be used with the children, but are ideal for use with staff, particularly anyone who is not very confident with using ICT.
The resources are £19.99 each, but there are discounts for multiple purposes. Also available at the website is a disc for ideas for developing economic well-being.

Hello there!
Thanks for the nice comments on this blog. I'm glad you liked the fact that the video lessons are in English accents, not only that but I do them and I'm from the Black Country, so one there for local dialects! We've now put all seven titles; Word, Powerpoint, Publisher, Excel, Internet, Email and Windows XP on one disc for £40 and they are going down very well.
There are also very good prices for multiple orders and we can put them on PC hard dirves if you like too.
