Most Helpful Reviews

BioBrain

Lauren, Classroom teacher: Great resource! Just could have a few more engaging pictures and diagrams.
Tahlia, Student: 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.
Baharin, VCE Biology teacher: great resource for teacher and student.

J Williams, National Education Coordinator: 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.
Laura Rodwell, Eco council leader and Ta: I think this is an important part of children learning and the video and live lessons are amazing.
Shawna, Professional Development Specialist: I've already shared it with my colleagues
