I think it´s a great tool but because you have to be 100% accurate with spellings when searching it can make it difficult when English is a second language

I think there are so many advantages to this software and it can work for all types of learners

Jigsaw Games has made a huge impact on childrens lunchtime behaviour. The children really enjoyed attending. When there is no adult to supervise the older children take charge, it a really lovely, safe environment.

We love Jigsaw at The Mease! It aligns with our curriculum ambition of 'establishing the conditions', ensuring we are teaching the children skills for life to enable them to manage relationships, health and their emotions.

An excellent student and parental resource to support all things CEAIG.

As a tutor, and employer of 10 other tutors, it works really well for us and our client base.

It’s great for ideas, skills and lessons. As a leader, I’d love to receive an overview of how skills and knowledge is progressed through each key stage for each unit of science. That would help for future OFSTED visits.

A21 is an excellent resource for those who struggle to attend school or even enter a school building. This way, they are somewhat in control of their own education and can get back into a routine, within the safety of their own home. One particular student has mentioned that A21 has been the best thing for them. Thank you!

Academy 21 supports our students with Emotional Based School Avoidance and offers us Alternative Provision for students who may be excluded from school for a short term.

Implementing Lyfta across Bridgewater High School & The Challenge Academy Trust has had a transformative impact on both our students and teachers. It has broadened our students' global perspectives, nurtured empathy, and provided a dynamic and engaging learning environment.

Lyfta is slickly presented and students are able to explore the content intuitively. Perhaps there could be more links to the curriculum and when I first set it up for the students, we had some technical difficulties.

It is so useful for students in relation to preparing for the lofe in the work place.

Typing skills are a life long skill but unfortunately they have become lost in terms of it's importance, to an extent, in this digital world we are in. Refocusing the attention on digital fundaments will add to the increased digital skills, digital literacy and digtial well being - the ability to be create written content is something we all can and will do so why not have a strong foundation in typing skills to set up your potentail for success. Take the time to invest in this skill and it will pay off in vast amounts in all aspects of your life.

This is a great service to use as an educational platform and also as a safeguarding children at home tool

I would recommend EDClass for a number of reasons. The first being the that the customer service team are extremely helpful. No matter which member of the team answers the phone, everyone is always there to help no matter what the query. Genuinely really nice people who are very helpful. Requests are always followed up straight away with no delay which is especially helpful for a school as it is really fast paced and things need to be put in place quickly. The second being the accessibility for staff. The daily attendance alerts you receive via email and text mean that you don't have to make time to look at student attendance on the account. This is helpful for me as I have such a busy schedule and don't have time to look everyday.

My students have loved the LevelUp Village experiences they have participated in. Mostly they cannot wait to receive responses from their favorite students in the partner school. Although they do not know each other personally and do not exchange personal contact information, they make a true connection and are excited to see and hear from their "friends".

It has been a trial / error learning to navigate the dates / tasks / partners being paired with two different groups. One group has been able to progress but the other got stuck when the partner didn't release the videos. Overall it has been super positive - but, it was a little overwhelming for students to jump into the tasks. Thankfully we did celebrations, which they already had some vocabulary base for - but looking forward, i feel like i will have to create materials to help them have some vocabulary base before jumping into the new topics. I'd love to see materials included for that. That would put me at a 10

The content is amazing. But the delivery may not be as exciting as students would expect.

Persona is a fantastic tool for the right environment. We tried it at out Behaviour unit and found students did not have the ability to focus and lacked the ability to sit on a computer with other students around. In other groups we use it with, it is much more attainable. It requires staff who know exactly how to use it so they can explain to students. We currently only have 1 staff member (me) who can confidently explain to student, but I am limited on time with students.

It's super easy to use out of the box but certain deep dives require work-arounds; there is a learning curve to Lt in terms of use, edits and customization; certain bulk edit features are not available.

It's a very easy to use, effective, accessible and engaging platform that everyone can use to enhance their teaching.
