Love PiP, great learning platform, students really engage and are enthusiastic about the tasks. The videos and hints allow most students to work independently giving the teacher a chance to work with those that need a little extra help. Watching the code run aids understanding as does the ability to switch from blocks to text based coding. The teacher dashboard is great and I like that you can set tasks as assignments which are auto marked and then you can download the results to analyse where students may need a little extra suppor.
Kay Sawbridge found Python in Pieces:
- Moderately improves attainment“Engagement is far better and the students are able to work more independently.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“Students can solve the challenges on their own and look at the videos and hints to reinforce their knowledge. It gives them a sense of achievement to finish each level. They can see their code running line by line a debug with the help of the hints if needed.”
- Moderately increases student collaboration“Students ask each other if they are stuck and can work together to solve challenges”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Self marking and gives some feedback to individual students”
- Significantly provides school data“Student progress can be downloaded and monitored”
