Online entertainment technologies you have used in the last three months.

Investigate government services online
Research the local and national governmental services that can be undertaken online in the UK. Use the Directgov website as a starting point.
Information services: Directgov.co.uk website provides a lot of information for the user, it provides information like the benefits you can get. All sorts of information is displayed on this website from education and learning to government, citizens and rights, all this information could be very useful for any user that uses this website.
Online reporting and advice: The website provides some advice on some subjects, the Directgov website provides advice on the citizens advice bureau.
Online Booking: The website provides web pages were you can book your driving tests, the webpage provides a lot of information about booking tests for either a car or motorcycle, it also provides links for more information and provides a link to the booking page.
Online Payments: The website provides some information on how to pay online but has many different headings which lead onto other things to do with payment which may be irrelevant to what you are looking for.
Usefulness to consumers;
1. Information services.
2. Online booking.
3. Online advice.
4. Online Payments.
The statement made may be incorrect because, the statements says the government hopped that they would save that much not saying that they have saved that much. However money will be saved from moving all their services online.

Use a Learning Object
Evaluate this as a way of helping you to learn.
The use of using videos online is a good way of learning because some people will be visual and audio learners which make it a lot easier for those people to learning, also using videos etc makes the learning more interesting and makes the students interact with their learning a lot more.

Macromedia virtual classroom
This is a really good way of learning, you can use it from home and can ask questions instantly to your teacher, e-learning also makes it possible to learn about subjects you cannot learn at school, also you can learn if you are at any age which can help if you are not able to go to night classes at college ect. The disadvantages are that the teaching can only happen if you have this piece of software, also you have to log into these classrooms on time.
