Most Helpful Reviews

ToodleBit

Mary, Part time teacher: It is easy to use, clear and does fulfil the objectives for the children.
Cathy Paxman, KS2 Teacher: Toodlebit is just so easy to use and deliver. Our Teaching assistants who lack confidence when it comes to computing lessons were able to understand the objectives and work with the children more confidently. The children really enjoyed the activities and their is scope for all to improve at their own levels. The instructions can be played as many times as the children need and those who have difficulties reading text were able ton access the information through the spoken word button which meant that nobody was held back or needed to rely on others.
Simon, Teacher: They really are much simpler to use than I expected and the way the Toodlebit scheme is laid out means that it is straightforward, exciting and accessible to all.

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
