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.

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
