Used Educake weekly for 4-6 months

Just feel it can be a bit outdated needs wider aspects for KS3 also key vocabulary like spelling tests etc would be welcomed to support SPAG and bridge the literacy gap as well it might be useful to have watch a video and answer questions
Reply from Educake:Hey Karen, thanks for your feedback. We're reviewing our geography provision to see where we can add more content, so feedback like this is really helpful.
Karen fiddler found Educake:
- Slightly reduces teacher workload“It can be timely due to having to find the right questions to match SOL particularly for ks3 a lot of the questions are irrelevant as I use progress in geography hodder and find some of the questions are outdated using older terms against the spec such which can confuse our pupils so some weeks I can spend 3 hours setting tasks other weeks it can be less”
- Slightly improves teaching efficiency“As it doesn’t always link to specification and we have to set weekly I have to repeat questions”
- Moderately improves attainment“Geography has improved slightly since I arrived and have been actively using it”
- Moderately builds student knowledge“They use it in lessons and you can tell those apart who are doing it against those not doing it”
