Hi All
I just thought I would let you know about the above Search Facility.
I use it to gather data and market reasearch reports for relevant issues. There are some on ICT as well as many other topical and current research information that you may wish to know more information about.

Survey Gizmo is really handy if you want to run an online survey ot questionnaire. Its really simple to use and gives you a range of options to design your own personlised survey. You can then embed the survey into your website or just email it as a link. It collates all of the survey answers and allows you to run reports based on the survey answers.

| Helen Kell | Good Practice Guidance for Social Networking Sites | February 25, 2009 10:37 AM |
Debbie, the broker for North East Wales, has come across the ´Good Practice Guidance for the Providers of Social Networking and Other User Interactive Services 2008´.
The first UK Social Networking Guidance provides advice for industry, parents and children about how to stay safe online. This has been developed by a taskforce of representatives from industry, charity and law enforcement agencies including Vodafone, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) and the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC).
To find out more please visit the Home Office website. I have uploaded a copy of the guidance to the community resource section of this website.

The UK Online centres in England have adopted the My Guide website as a way to support new learners to use the Internet.
The website offers free and easy to use e-mail and search engine facilities without the user being bombarded with adverts, as the whole site is banner free. It also offers basic ICT training on a host of subjects from using a mouse and keyboard to looking for a job online. All of the courses are aimed at the beginner as they take their first few steps on the Internet.
The website also offers users the ability to change and save settings such as span size and text colour, as well as having an inbuilt screen reader.
