Its Cool this Yule
Local children at Cheslyn Hay Primary School gave Internet Adventure with OwnAreaKIDS accounts the thumbs up this month after spending the evening demonstrating it to parents at the School Christmas Fayre.
Martin Tibbetts, headmaster of Cheslyn Hay Primary School has arranged with Glaxstar to officially pilot OwnArea Schools version on all their computers during the first quarter of 2005.
Ian Hayward, Managing Director Glaxstar Limited said, "The kids love Internet Adventurer and want to use it instead of Internet Explorer which means its going to be much easier for the school to deliver real web protection to their pupils.
Kids also say that the free safe messaging system within the browser is the coolest thing they’ve ever seen, and as only pupils of the school can use the messaging system within the browser account its the first real safe chat system out there too.
Moreover, they can’t believe they can still use it at home for free too, just think of all the text messaging costs parents will save with their children talking to friends through Internet Adventurer using OwnArea school accounts instead of texting.
Mr Tibbetts is a particularly special headmaster being very experienced in technology , the school is a flagship IT school with it’s own online magazine called Knock Out News produced and edited by the children.
Glaxstar are proud to be working with the school and believe it is a matter of time now until everyone realises how simply effective our new technology is and we're looking forward to 2005 being the year the nonsense stops and kids get the real protection from the web they deserve "
