Review of Purple Mash
Nov 2024
Very child friendly, diverse in subjects. However, it is a standalone platform..it isn't what is used in the real world which makes some units hard to transfer skills
Reply from Purple Mash:Thank you Alex for your valuable feedback! We're pleased to hear that you find Purple Mash to be child-friendly and diverse in its subject offerings. We’re continually working to ensure that the skills children develop with Purple Mash are transferable to real-world tools and platforms. To further support this, the Purple Mash Computing Scheme of Work includes resources that focus on building transferable skills, such as coding, digital literacy, and basic computing processes. In addition, the scheme includes Google and Microsoft teacher resources to help align with industry-standard platforms, giving students a foundation they can build on as they progress. If you have any further suggestions or ideas on how we can make this transition even smoother, we’d love to hear from you. We’re always keen to hear from users about how Purple Mash can further support the school's needs.
