Review of EducationCity
Rebecca
Teacher/ Computing and digital learning lead
Yew Tree Primary School, England
Used EducationCity occasionally for 3-4 years
Nov 2023
Although it has a lot of good features it's not suitable to use instead of lesson activities. We usually use it for homework. It's good to set tasks for children working below ARE but some objectives are too broad and it's not specific enough.
Rebecca found EducationCity:
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“Tasks completed are automatically marked. There are Maths, Science and English assessments. Activities are sorted based on objectives so easy to find.”
- Slightly improves teaching efficiency“There are learn screens which can be used to support teaching new concepts.”
- Does not significantly improve parent engagement“It can be used to set homework which parents can support with.”
- Does not significantly improve attainment“Once assessments are completed individual revision activities can be given to the children.”
- Does not significantly build student knowledge“Activities take children through new knowledge and then they practise the skills.”
