Used Belouga for I have been involved with Belouga since they first began. I was lucky enough to be part of their Beta Trial group when I was teaching in the classroom. That would be over 3 years ago now.

Belouga changed the way I taught. As a huge believer that students should be learning about the world with the world Belouga provided a learning spark that ignited a passion in students to be creative, to explore topics of interest in detail and to lead their own learning. It was the differentiation ability that I loved, being about to have all students learning together what ever ability level. They had choice, a voice and they were captivated by real world learning AND they were most importantly learning future ready skills to help them understand the world they will be part of into their futures.
Bronwyn Joyce found Belouga:
- Significantly increases student collaboration“Belouga enables students and teachers to collaborate on real world issues that they can share opinions and calls to actions. This collaboration can be in a singular class or with classes around the world. Belouga is constantly keeping up with growing changes and urgency for connectivity through collaborative practices and are leading the education world when it comes to the safety and content they marry together to have students learning every time they engage with a topic. Students learn with the world that is the impact.”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Belouga has ready made topics with tasks that are curriculum driven - Such as write a persuasive piece, think critically about this, create something. Teachers do not have to spend hours searching for content. It has the adaptability for teachers to sequence lessons by using the series of learning tasks located under core topics. Belouga links directly to the SDGs and each topic indicates the curriculum area that is appropriate to learning. Most importantly the content has been sourced from all over the world using Not for Profits, leading educators and world organisations. This alone is an outstanding resource for teachers. Teachers can assign tasks directly to their students, offer feedback through the connectivity function and differentiate. What more would a teacher need, they do it all for you.”
