Clair Harris found Purple Mash:

• Significantly reduces teacher workload“When planning a topic that is new to me eg Simulations I was able to use the lesson plans provided to give me initial ideas for my own lesson and provide a skeleton for my own lesson slides.”
• Slightly increases student collaboration“When teaching Online Collaboration the children have used 2connect in collaborative mode as well as 2write. These are always very popular activities! However, these sessions are often quite chaotic to start with before the children learn to co-opperate and work together to achieve the lesson goal”
• Significantly improves teaching efficiency“When using 2code as children can move through activities at their own pace and learn for themselves as they progress using the tutorial videos.”
• Does not significantly improve parent engagement“Parent's have been engaged with our Serial Mash free 1 year subscription, encouraging their children to undertake reading activities especially during school holidays.”
• Significantly builds student knowledge“Creating factfiles eg Year 6 when making Tim Berners Lee fact files while studying the topic How the Internet works.”
