Schoolzone says: ‘It encouraged [the children] to develop their
investigative skills throughout its use and to extend their vocabulary. But it was also
in their social skills that they developed as they became more aware of the contribution
that other individuals were able to make. This encouraged them to take turns to contribute
towards discussions . . .’
