Most Helpful Reviews

Pobble

Sarah Bullivant, Assistant Headteacher: It’s a fantastic resource
Chelsea Hughes, English Coordinator: Pobble has been a constant in my teaching for around 4 years now. Without it, I lose the attainment of all children within the class to try their best in writing. They want their work to be celebrated, no matter how small the progress is. With the help of Pobble presentations, resources, high quality stimuli, moderation, WAGOLLs and more teachers are able to get the children there!
Kate Bodle, Deputy Headteacher: Pobble has many facets, inspiration for students and teachers, simplifying moderation, a safe publishing space and more! Plus events and competitions to engage learners! Great help and support too!

Encounter Edu

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
