It offers children a platform to publish their work. There are so many ways that staff can use the materials and enable all children have copies on their own accounts. The moderation part is amazing. It offers a focused approach to moderation with the feedback part of it enabling comments to be saved, as well as a grading to be given at the end if required. The endless amount of writing stimulus ensures there is something for everyone. The team are really supportive and if there is ever any suggestions they take it on board to continue to grow the platform. Children and staff love their Pobble publications!

Reply from Pobble:Thanks for the feedback, Anthony! We're delighted you're seeing Pobble have such an impact in your school.
Anthony McGeeney found Pobble:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    Short burst writing materials are already resourced - from word banks to sentence starters. It has also been great for developing ideas. Staff can alter any of the prepopulated materials as well as send them to the children on their individual Pobble accounts.
  • Significantly reduces attainment gap
    All children are able to access the engaging images to give them a purpose to write. The scaffolded approach that children can access, from a story started to vocab and sentence work, enables all children to find their starting point and engage with the lesson and want to write with a creative purpose
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
    Lots of interactive ways to enable short burst writing, as well as longer pieces of writing from the stimulus given. Also, recently we have started using the moderation part which has enable the whole process of moderation in school to become very efficient and purposeful.
  • Significantly improves teacher knowledge
    The support that is given with each stimulus. Also, the online support they have with moderation has really helped refine teacher knowledge
  • Significantly improves attainment
    Pupils want to have their work published on Pobble, they have a purpose to write which has made all pupils want to improve their writing.
