EdWare Software Reviews – Anseo.net

Know Your Europe, Know Your USA and Know Your World were reviewed this week at anseo.net today, and it’s another great review from anseo.net. Our software was again awarded their “Top of the Class” award and I am very pleased with the feedback, thanks again Simon.

“Know Your Ireland is in my opinion the definitive solution for any teacher teaching Geography classes. There is nothing else out there that looks better, works better or teaches better. There are a number of other solutions out there but I think this is the very best.

I would echo these sentiments in all three other products. Another worthy “Top of the Class” award.” anseo.net – 12 May, 2009.
