Clare found Purple Mash:

• Significantly reduces teacher workload“As Computing Lead, Purple Mash provides a very comprehensive computing scheme of work which is fully resourced with powerpoints, detailed lesson plans and teacher help videos. It is also easier to deliver computing lessons from the one platform making it more efficient for both teachers and learners. Teachers can set pre and post vocabulary or end of unit quizzes which are self marking, also saving time.”
• Significantly increases student collaboration“Children can work together on projects in real time such as creating 'mind maps', stories or presentations. They can share their work, whether digital presentations or coding games, to display boards enabling others to give feedback, which enhances collaborative learning.”
• Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Having all the strands of the compuing curriculum in one place means that teachers are not having to learn different platforms in order to teach a range of units and it is also more efficient for pupils to find everything they need on the one platform, streamlining the logging in process.”
• Significantly improves teacher knowledge“With every computing lesson having detailed lesson plans and many with accompanying videos, teachers are quickly able to increase their knowledge to teach the computing curriculum.”
• Moderately builds student knowledge“The computing curriculum builds progressively which ensures that children are exposed to all the essential skills and knowledge with each unit having quizzes which can be repeated during the year to develop recall of vocabulary and knowledge. Other engaging interactive activities and games reinforce learning such as spelling quizzes or maths games.”
