Most Helpful Reviews

Scribeasy

Mike, Teaching Assistant: I've been playing with Scribeasy at home with my son as well as using it in my school, I continue to find new ways to create ideas and creative projects, It's hard for me to find a critism that warrants taking stars away? Problems I had early on when working with my groups have all been resolved and the site works very well. There is nothing on my wish list for now!

Britannica School

June Yeeles, School Librarian: Image quantity could be improved
Montserrat Palau, Librarian: It is an excellent resource, easy to use, connected anywhere, anytime. For our IB school, it is very complete in multilingual content, so it introduces students to the concept of multiple literacies, enriching their academic journey and multilingualism. In addition, it is very important to our school to promote academic honesty and integrity, so Britannica offers the citation of any information.
Matt, Primary Pastoral Lead / Year 1 teacher: a great resource in one place

Training

Scribeasy

In PersonLive OnlineWebinarsDocumentationVideos

With sign up, we supply a video and a Zoom online session. Typically a teacher onboarding takes around ten-to thirty minutes. Students need only a few minutes. A follow-up call/Skype or Zoom can be arranged at a time to suit the school, during which we share our screen, walk through the platform and share creative tips.

The platform has an online chat help, and Scribeasy allocates a named contact person who supports the school with customer care.

We do visit schools for face to face demonstrations (currently only London Schools), ideally, the coaching is arranged with a group of schools on an inset day or after school. In addition, creative writing workshops can be booked (any UK school or class) for an agreed fee.
