"For a state-of-the-art example of what the Internet can offer primary-age children, go to ArgoSphere. This presents a wide range of activities for children, at school or home, all of which require little supervision."

The Press Association

"A truly wonderful educational site, packed with original things to do and things to see. Excellent use of Javascript and a clear, easy-to-follow navigation system. Aimed at children, the site is just as much fun for the young at heart, and best of all it's completely free."

"Lynne Hill, from Brighton, is delighted her nine-year old son, Nicholas, has become a fan of ArgoSphere. 'We were despairing of ever finding any PC activities that didn't revolve around violent games,' she explains."

"Lynne believes the site has helped Nicholas's schoolwork and would encourage other parents to log onto educational sites on the Internet. 'Whoever writes this software really understands children. My son hasn't even realised that the games he is playing are actually helping him!' "

"So what makes this educational Web site stand out? First, heaps of unique content. Second, it's free. And third and perhaps most surprising of all, visitors don't even need an Internet connection to experience it."

"The site content is good. So why not copy it to a floppy, email it as an attachment or print it out and send it to friends?"

"In establishing ArgoSphere, [Argo] has not only put a toe in the water but is prepared to dive in head first as well!"

"As a teacher I am always looking for low cost solutions but am equally suspect of anything which is deemed 'free'. What strings are attached? When it comes to ArgoSphere, there are no strings - it is free!"

"ArgoSphere offers a dynamic learning resources which gives children something to actively do rather than passively trawl through page after page of information."

"ArgoSphere really is a useful teaching resource and it's all downloadable for free!"

"In ArgoSphere, Argo have laid the foundations of what I believe could be the definitive education website. Far from being a first, tentative step, Argo have gained the high ground in educational website development in this country."

"If you visit BETT, and do nothing else, visit the Argo stand. There you'll see what the NC can do. One thing is sure, ArgoSphere (which was revealed shortly before Acorn World), will be fully functional and should give a true flavour of what the World Wide Web can do in the hands of a company that knows what it's doing."

"Llamas, Pooh and treats for you at the software show"

"BETT 98 will host the launch of an innovative, interactive Web site for primary school pupils."

"Argo Interactive had a large presence at the show, firmly centred on ArgoSphere, their innovative and educational Web site designed to appeal to younger children (5-13 years). This is due for launch at BETT 98, and aims to provide a safe place for youngsters to explore the Web, where they will find a range of stimulating educational activities and links.
I propose to follow ArgoSphere's progress with much interest."

"This is intended to be a constantly updated site and will contain several activities suitable for the given age range. One thing is certain, with Mike Matson running ArgoSphere you can be sure of some sound (if not slightly 'off-the-wall') educational material.
I have to say that I've never really been sold on the Internet either at home or school but this has certainly caught my attention."
