Kay Sawbridge, Faculty Leader Computing and IT: Love PiP, great learning platform, students really engage and are enthusiastic about the tasks. The videos and hints allow most students to work independently giving the teacher a chance to work with those that need a little extra help. Watching the code run aids understanding as does the ability to switch from blocks to text based coding. The teacher dashboard is great and I like that you can set tasks as assignments which are auto marked and then you can download the results to analyse where students may need a little extra suppor.Rhiannon Dumpleton, Computer Science and IT Teacher: While some schools might be wary of the price, I think that it is very much worth it. It saves time on planning and marking, and can be used across multiple year groups. The fact that each section is 6 lessons long makes it fit well into any half-term, for students who then need extra work, or if you have lessons left over with no work to complete, you can set them a challenge and let them loose on the freecode option.Rachel, Lead Teacher for Computing: I enjoyed Crystal Rainforest when we had that and this is based on it. There are graded activities for each year group, with feedback for teachers. It is very reasonably priced too!!! Thank you.Stephanie Hamilton, Computer Teacher: It is a great program. I would like to see the younger version extended so I can use it longer with my younger students.Ann, Digital skills teacher: Pupils love using it, easy to use teaches basics simply and well
