the website is very useful during planning, especially for topics subjects and science but when I attended the training with my students I just realised that the website has more information that can help me and my students. I was very impressed with the content coverage of geography there are lot of useful information to explore. I teach volcanic eruption in Year 4 and during the training I, was able to see useful information which I did not use during my teaching.

Best resource for safe exploration

It's a perfect complement to book and I use it for homework, smaller tests and challenge for strong pupils. It really saves a lot of time for me and after using it a while I don't know how to manage without it.

Magma Math has simplified my work as a math teacher. I can now differentiate my teaching for a class with just a few clicks. In Magma Math, you can also see students' work in real-time, which means I can easily see where I need to step in and provide support during the lesson. I am also very pleased with Magma's summaries at the individual and class levels. They allow me to easily follow up on individuals' and the class's results.

CodeMonkey has been an incredible addition to our district that we discovered around Covid. They have phenomenal support, an interactive and engaging tool, large number of resources along with lesson plans, and do a great job of teaching coding and programming to a wide range of student learners/ages/grades especially in regards to progressing from block to text.

I have seen my children grow, and the content is engaging, relevant, and educational.

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.

I gave the score 10/10 since GCSEpod has been our main source of lessons ever since. It is also updated every now and then that gives us recent topics for the subjects given.

Having used many different e-learning platforms to date in my career, GCSEPod is by far the leader in terms of interface design and the processes they adopt in order to ensure quality assurance of the materials they provide to users.

I had a fantastic experience with Century and highly recommend it to other educators. Fay Allen, the liaison for Century, has been incredibly supportive and I am excited to continue working with her in the future. I introduced Century to my Year 7, Year 8, and Year 10 ESL classes, and the response from students was overwhelmingly positive. One of the standout features of Century is its ability to keep students engaged throughout their learning journey. Unlike other literacy platforms, Century breaks the monotony and offers fresh and engaging content that students truly enjoy. The platform’s intuitive AI plays a crucial role in differentiating instruction, which is essential in my classroom. With students of varying ability levels, it is crucial to have approaches that cater to their individual needs. Century’s AI adapts to each student’s strengths and weaknesses, providing personalized learning pathways that ensure optimal progress for every learner. I must also commend Fay Allen for her exceptional support in getting started with Century. The learning curve was brief, thanks to her assistance and guidance. Currently, Century is my favorite literacy program, and I look forward to a continued relationship with Fay and the Century team.

Century has provided both the college and the learners are great platform to develop and improve English and maths skills which is individualised to each learner. For the college it enables good tracking of progress at both course and strategic level.

It’s a fun and interactive way to learn and revise all areas of literacy. It makes the children want to read and complete quizzes. Collecting eggs and spending them on items of interest to them is a great incentive.

We have been impressed with the support from the team and the quality of content.

TNC offers a wide range of webinars and courses which increases knowledge and understanding. To make it impactful, schools should also structure the webinars in a collaborative way - small groups, discussions, what would that look like in our context etc. to really get the best from the platform.

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.

Its an exceptional resources to seed ideas. however since the Pan-Canadian expectations vary from the original source documents some triage of the content is required. This takes time. The one thing teachers claim not to have a surplus of. The score of 9 accounts for this 'slight' inconvenience.
