Why was I receiving a Forbidden message when visiting your site?
Our previous web host took the site offline because it was too popular! We have relocated the site to Onesmarthost.co.uk who promise to keep it up and running however many visitors we get. This should solve the problems we were experiencing earlier this year.
Can I link to your site?
We are very happy for non commercial educational organisations to link to our site.
Please, wherever possible, could you link to the Key Stage/Subject page rather than individual resources.
This means that any new resources will also be available for your visitors to use!
Using I-frames and other similar methods is not allowed.
Can I download and save the resources?
No, the resources are only available via the web site, this way we can manage what's available, keep it up to date and generate a little advertising revenue.
As you can imagine 100's of hours have gone into producing them!
What are Key Stages?
There are three education stages in the U.K. covering the following ages;
- Early Years/Foundation Stage for 4 to 5 year olds.
- Key Stage 1 for 6 to 7 year olds.
- Key Stage 2 for 8 to 11 year olds.
What did you use to make the resources?
Most are written with Adobe Flash (the most popular commercial format)
and therefore can be used on any brand of interactive white board.
Why did you move the resources from the Crick Primary School web site?
Due to heavy bandwidth demands, we moved the resources formerly hosted at
Crick Primary School, to this new site.
This will enable us to further extend our range of free educational resources.
We still support the school site and are actively involved with both the school and local community.
Who are V2V Training?
V2V Training Ltd are the people behind the resources and the web site.
Crickweb is a way for V2V to demonstrate their skills in various fields whilst giving something back to the education community.
Why is there advertising?
As you can imagine the cost in time and money of running the web site and developing new resources is quite considerable. We decided that advertising was the only way to ensure sustainable, continuing development.
Problems with Internet Explorer 7
If you are having trouble getting the resources to open and are using Internet Explorer 7 please look at our articles page for help.
Do you have a Privacy Policy?
Yes we aim to comply with all legislation. Please go to the Privacy Policy page to check.
How much time does the web site take up?
Week to week not too much! There are times that many hours are spent updating the resources etc. The original design/implementation took a couple of weeks, but overall the site and resources have taken many 100's of hours.
Did you have any help?
Not really, Dan writes most of the resources and I (David) help out and update the site. Some code comes from the Open Source Community (Many thanks!) :
- We use the most flexible CMS system, namely MODx
- Ajax contact form was put together by Brett Terpstra.
