The children enjoy Doodle - they love the advent calendar and the real Doodle badges that they receive for completing challenges. Parents like that they can see progress their child is making and it is a manageable resource for them to use at home.

Reply from DoodleLearning:Hi Leanne and thank you so much for leaving us such a wonderful review! I loved the Winter Calendar too! It's fantastic to see how well you are using Doodle across your school and the positive impact it is having on teaching and learning. Amazing! – Ian, your School Success Advisor
Leanne found DoodleLearning:
  • Moderately reduces teacher workload
    Teachers use Doodle to set homework - Doodle marks and provides feedback to the children so that the teachers don't have to. The teachers can then review how their class is doing when they log in. Doodle also provides personalised learning to all of the children in the class and can be used to provide support or extension work during lesson time - less prep for the teachers.
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency
    Setting up homework is fast and easy - without the need for printing, copying and sticking in multiple sheets per child for every class. Using Doodle as morning starter work or extension work is again much more time efficient than copying work. The work is always at the correct level for the child moving them on when needed - making this easy for the teachers to review.
  • Significantly improves parent engagement
    We have held in person Doodle meetings for our Reception parents and have found higher parental involvement. We have done this for the last couple of years and many of the parents that attended still ensure their child Doodles at home frequently. Parents contact me with any issues and they are sorted quickly by myself or Doodle giving us and the parent confidence with the online platform.
  • Moderately improves attainment
    It is usually clear to class teachers which children are Doodling regularly (particularly in Maths) as they are able to recall subject knowledge quickly in class. They are used to practicing their maths skills and don't need as many reminders of strategies in the classroom. Those that Doodle regularly also appear more confident when discussing their skills.
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    Doodle helps with retention of knowledge so that the children's brains store the information in long term memory so that it can be recalled with ease. Doodle New bubbles explain new topics clearly and the help tools provide support for the children at all times - making them more confident using the platform.
