Rachel Whittlesea found Purple Mash:

• Builds student knowledge“Internet Safety, using coding, databases, concept maps and creating platform games have all been very well received by pupils and they have transferred skill into other areas of learning or continued pursuing them at home.”
• Reduces teacher workload“The lesson PowerPoints are great and give a step by step guide to new skills and concepts. The newer revised lessons are much more up to date and have engaged my current class much more that the previous class as it is very relevant to them such as the gaming lessons. The premade content for the children to explore such in the concept map lessons was just right to develop skills and being able to set as a To do is great. Also I like how I can assess the work in different ways too.”
• Improves teaching efficiency“The input to lessons can be tailored to my learners needs and this give the children more time to develop their skills by doing and I can move around supporting any one who needs extra input. The saving of work and assessment also helps my teaching efficiency.”
• Improves teacher knowledge“The lesson plans , PowerPoints and tasks all hep to develop my Teacher Knowledge. I find I use the videos to support my planning when needed as some time it is good to see new skills in action. Doing the new revised units has given me a refresh and taught me more new ideas.”
• Increases student collaboration“Some tasks are collaborative and sometimes lend them selves to partner work which has been really god at developing collaborative skills. The children really like to evaluate each others work and give good feedback and it it gives the chance to share new ideas that they teach each other. They are becoming good at being positive critical friends.”
