New matrix

[David King]

Me too - I cannot find it on the minedu / tki websites....

but then perhaps I have just missed it.

Shouldn't it be out there in big flashing letters, rather than us  
having to find it?

(If it is in either large letters or flashing text, but I have missed  
it, then accept my humble apologies!)


Cheers
