I am very pleased with the GCSE Geography revision guide as it is extremely well laid out with concise, easy to read revision materials (content knowledge and case studies) with exam practice in the style of the exam board to help students reach their full potential.

Fantastic resources making my life so much easier

Right now I only use one section Phonics Factory which is good, but I know there is more for me to discover. Once I have done this and use it on a wider basis I think my score may be higher.

Students are encouraged to read books and accelerate their reading levels via the assessment/quizzes, making this is an exciting process and motivating path for them to progress.

I wish that there were more modern books covered by accelerated reader. The choice of books that students can read sometimes feels limited.

I value the creativity of your program and find it to be the most unique literacy program I have ever used. I am really disappointed that staff are not interested in any online program that they need to pay for.

We enjoyed the material. Some direct contact line of communication which is more personal would be helpful. Also the option to pause a student rather than cancel would be better.

It is a great tool to support learning and home learning, however it is quite expensive.

There is only benefit in students regularly practicing what they have learnt; and they can also look forward to what is to come which builds familiarity.

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.

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.

It is a fantactic program. Step by step, easy to learn. All you have to do is put in the time. I am 48, and never had any experience with touch typing, now after only 5 months, I am at 35-40 words per minute. My goal is to be at 50 by the end of the next month. Somtimes you can teach an old dog new tricks. Additionally, the staff responses to any issue's that I have had has been quick and sorted within days. I never felt any kind of runaround, they generally listened AND took action to responded promptly to any of my concerns. Fantastic product and fantastic company!

Great resource! Just could have a few more engaging pictures and diagrams.

Overall, biobrain is a great tool for revision because it presents the content in a slightly different way to my teachers at school which improves my overall understanding. I also love the practice questions which I can do on the go, wherever I am.

The idea of the system is fantastic, however, the system still seems to have noticeable glitches that don't allow for accurate assessment. We have experienced problems with deleting classrooms and creating courses. The children often been left confused as the answer inputted has been marked wrong when it is clearly correct. The children do not use the whiteboard feature as it is too small.

It is really good to support pupils with the final push before the exams

I find Kide science to be a very useful tool with preschool (6 year olds) kids. It is motivating, interesting and made super easy for the teacher. Even with our special learners it has been a positive learning experience.

We just started off a few months ago and the journey until now has been outstanding.
