Recommended Usage

Purple Mash

As a whole-curriculum resource this would be dependent upon the specific tool and objective. For example, if using the multiplication tool, using it once a day for 5 minutes, learners and teachers would start to see impact within a couple of weeks. But if using one of the creative animation tools the level of usage would be different.

Curriculum Maestro

We recommend daily usage of 30+ minutes as Maestro is integral to teaching learning and assessment.

Most Helpful Reviews

Purple Mash

Sonia, Higher Level Teaching Assistant: It is relatively easy to use, the children enjoy the tasks and can access from home it covers majority of the computing curriculum.
trish, HLTA: enjoy using
Alex Butterworth, Computing subject lead/class teacher: Very child friendly, diverse in subjects. However, it is a standalone platform..it isn't what is used in the real world which makes some units hard to transfer skills

Maya tafsir, Teacher: It is an amazing platform
Louise Burridge, Principal: Up to date, easily accessible and challenging for all
Cherida Gibson, Nurture Coordinator: It's a fantastic system that helps planning, tracking and assessment. It's just a very difficult system to use and can be complicated to find the areas that you need. It would be great if the system was easier to use and simpler to navigate.
