Used KnowItAll Ninja daily for 5 years+
Oct 2024
I enjoy using KnowitAll Ninja. It's easy to set up classes, courses and monitor tasks and student participation and progress. Students enjoy using KnowitAll Ninja, they find it challenging and like to see their own progress and where they are on the class leaderboard. I have used KnowitAll Ninja for many years. My students perform well in exams (I use resultsplus to analyse cohorts performance compared to national average) and I receive excellent response and support from Daniel if I ever need it. Content is kept updated and the site is always moving forward with improvement. Students don't get bored using it. They can work in and out of the classroom and on any device. I fully trust the quality and I think it is excellent value for money.
Julie found KnowItAll Ninja:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“I can set students topics to learn. There is a minimum "Pass" rate of achievement for progression through the topic and I can track this. It means that the students can learn independently and I can monitor and analyse performance.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“I have found that students who regularly use KnowitAll Ninja (to its full potential) as a learning platform enjoy it, have a clearer understanding in subject content and perform well in exams. It also means that if I set tasks as part of a lesson, that it frees up time for marking (other work) or other preparation. I can see students weaker areas of learning so I can target extra support if needed. For example, sometimes students find a particular task challenging and I use this as a whole class task example or I can simply sit and work it through with them so that they can see how to arrive at the answer themselves.”
- Significantly improves attainment“The very first year we took on the course, I had one student who only learned exam content through using KnowitAll Ninja and they achieved Distinction. Students who use KnowitAll Ninja the most, seem to perform the best in exams.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“Students enjoy the challenge of being top of the leaderboard and can be competitive with other class members. They can often recite content from the site during class discussion. They are more likely to ask me to get involved to help if there is a question they are having difficulty with on KnowitAll Ninja than other work that I have set.”
