"Headline History is great!  Enormous fun! The thing about it I like most is that it shows history from different points of view. There are as many different versions of an event in history as there are people involved in it."

"What a tremendous resource.  I found this site not only extremely interesting but more importantly for a technophobe like me, very easy to use!"

"Wow. Headline History makes us want to dance with our pants on our heads. Why couldn't we have had something like that when we were at school? We love all the gory stories about public hangings and terrible diseases. And the way the famous people from history come to life is just fantastic. All you Bungalow Heads out there should log on and see history come to life before your eyes. You'll learn a lot and, best of all, you'll have a lot of fun."

Culture Minister David Lammy said:

"Making history come alive for children can be an up-hill struggle but Headline History manages to do just that. The site skilfully manages to combine a game-like quality with some real opportunities to learn something new. The children learn because they're having fun not because they have to."
