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!

SAM Learning

Chris, Second in Science: Its mostly good. Some activities are well written and fun, others need reviewing and improving.
Gillian, 2nd in Department of MFL: I use Sam Learning mainly for homework to consolidate learning done in class and to give students the opportunity to try out short exam style tasks for independent learning. Students find the tasks accessible and easy to navigate and appreciate getting their scores immediately. Other schools should use Sam Learning to save time in planning and marking as there is a good range of tasks available on all aspects of the course and if you want something specific which is not there, you can create your own tasks as well.
Sam Frith, Teacher of ICT & Computer Science: Really good

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.
