Testimonials
"What a great piece of software for Irish primary schools! We have been putting SESE Interactive through its paces at Scoil Naomh Erc for the past few weeks and the pupils and teachers alike are delighted with this 100% Irish product. The layout is beautifully designed and the games are well thought out and relevant to the various strands of the curriculum. The older pupils are particularly taken by the "Working as a Historian" module in the History section and can't wait to get going on their own projects as a result. It's really pleasing to find, especially in these challenging economic times, a software package such as this, made in Ireland for Irish children in Irish schools, based on the Irish curriculum."
Gerard Pierce, Principal, Scoil Naomh Erc, Ballyheigue, Co. Kerry.
"This program contains a total of 34 interactive games and activities based on topics from the SESE curriculum. The "Build a family tree" and the three-dimensional "Build my classroom" activities are exemplary, and encompass enormous educational potential. The designers have been particularly successful in producing an interface that is visually appealing, child-friendly and very simple to use and navigate. The voice-overs, too, are of impressive quality, as is the graphical content. In summary, this is a very impressive addition to the steadily growing range of Irish-produced software, combining as it does substantial curriculum content, innovative and engaging activities and a highly professional interface."
Robbie O'Leary, Principal, Sacred Heart S.N.S., Killinarden, Dublin 24.
