Used Xello for 7–12 months

Jan 2021

Its a great resource for children that can work independently, navigate it themselves and get totally immersed in it.

Patricia McKee found Xello:
  • Slightly improves attainment
    Helps GCSE level students see the requirements for a particular job they are interested in and apply that information to their Vocational Skills work.
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    Learning about careers they never knew existed.
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency and productivity
    I can post assignments and give feedback, similar to google classroom but its nice to have a careers platform that is ultimately for that purpose/subject only.
  • Does not significantly reduce teacher workload
    I still have to produce assignments to follow the prerequisite tasks, to which a lot of the time, a number of students would constantly ask for the meaning/definition of words/phrases etc. for e.g. 'what does enterprising mean?'; 'What does logical mean?' and with pupils working at different speeds I would need to give individual feedback as opposed to general feedback to an entire class had we been working at the same rate and on the same task.
