Gooii are proud to have developed and launched the 'Climate Action Tracker' website, to coincide with the 'UN Climate Change Conference' being held in Durban during November/December 2011.

The site is an independent science-based assessment, which tracks the emission commitments and actions of UN countries. Providing up-to-date assessment of individual national pledges, the website is designed to help users reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

The Fab-Phonics iPhone and iPad apps are going from strength to strength, with 3 more exciting releases. The new apps see our team of superheroes flying, changing into different objects and venturing into outer space.

Designed to help teach young children to read by building fluency in reading and spelling simple three-letter, consonant-vowel-consonant words, the Fab-Phonics apps are proving a big hit with children, parents and teachers alike.

To download the apps please visit the following links:

'Up, Up and Away' for iPhone and iPad

Scottish universities hold a high proportion of Scotland’s nationally important collections – more than 1.8 million items. The Revealing the Hidden Collections website gives information about all the material through almost 2000 detailed descriptions of collections and an increasing number of records of individual items and collections, making available all records through a single search maintained by the Culture Grid.

The website was designed and programmed by Gooii Nottingham and can be viewed at: umissearch.org.uk

"Oh no, the road is blocked! Can you help Babybot to clear the road, tap on the missing letter to complete the words. The pictures and sounds will help you."

Containing over 75 words, with colourful illustrations and sounds, The Fab-Phonics 'Road Block' is designed to aid the development of young readers. This innovative and fun app focuses on building fluency in reading and spelling CVC (Consonant Vowel Consonant) words. The app can also be used to help teach English as a foreign language, or as a tool for adults learning to read.

The Fab-Phonics 'Road Block' is available now and is free for both the iPhone and iPad.

UPDATE: 'Road Block' is now the no.1 featured app in Apple Education's 'New and Noteworthy' section, for both the iPhone and iPad. The app was also downloaded over 1000 times in the first day of sale, a great start for this new series.

Gooii have upgraded the NEN Gallery for E2BN. The new version has a wider format but retains the much loved look and feel. Underneath the hood we have re-engineered the whole thing to make it faster and more expandable. It also has some great new features including a JSON API for external developers to use and a customisable widget which can be used to embed the gallery in external sites.

An expanded 'My albums' for logged in users has made it even easier to upload images, tag and organise them. With 20,000 high quality images free for educational use, the NEN Gallery is a great free resource containing features that can be re-used and integrated into other resources worldwide.
