Donna Shah found now-press-play:

• Significantly improves attainment“Due to the immersive nature of Now>Press>Play students are able to understand at a greater depth some complex situations. Role playing brings concepts 'to life' and embeds the learning. I have seen have 'revisiting' an activity using a single image stimulus has led to writing especially (including topic based content) being produced at a greater depth, with students more engaged in the process: including accurate descriptives; relevant topic language and forming emotional connections”
• Significantly builds student knowledge“I have found that students of all abilities retain significantly more facts and increase their knowledge base through accessing Now>Press>Play experiences. Using drama supports this retention and, when used with small groups of students with additional needs, is effective for introducing new vocabulary and themes.”
• Significantly improves behaviour or wellbeing“I have always found that students are focused and on task whilst participating in a Now>Press>Play experience. Their engagement continues back in the 'virtual classroom' with linked learning, stimulating memories and allowing key themes to be addressed. For all of the experiences I have shared with students, a feature of wellbeing can be pulled out and used as a talking point. As this stems from an inclusive activity, any points can be addressed quite literally or they can be tweaked to tie in with the class or even groups of students.”
• Significantly reduces teacher workload“As a tool for teachers, Now>Press>Play is almost a 'Pick up and go' package. Each experience is linked to lesson objectives, has differentiated worksheets (if applicable) and has linked content for use back in the classroom. The equipment itself is maintained by the Now>Press>Play team on a regular basis including replacing batteries (although we can all do that!). Not only is there content to support several lessons, the Now>Press>Play team will work with your school to develop a bespoke timetable linked to their many experiences.”
• Significantly improves school processes“Your Now>Press>Play contact will develop a relationship with the school from the outset, be this after a demo or a trial run for example. They work with your curriculum team to create a bespoke timetable of activities around your topic/themes. I found this most beneficial as I can then remind or prompt classes/year groups if necessary. Training requirements are also taken care of by the team as they will be as flexible as possible in fitting in with your accessibility: INSET, after school staff meeting are all a possibility. The team are regularly in communication and carry out an onsite check of equipment on a regular basis, replacing or upgrading as necessary.”
