paula atkinson found Showbie:

• Slightly improves attainment“During all lockdowns it has been our online learning platform. The children liked that they could message their teachers directly and get extra help if they needed it. For the children who did engage with the online learning, we found they did go back to see what feedback we had left them, even if it was only to say well done. They also corrected any mistakes they had made. On returning to school, these are the children who are accelerating back to where they were before lockdown”
• Slightly builds student knowledge“not sure”
• Moderately improves teaching efficiency and productivity“More likely to put worksheets directly onto Showbie rather than photocopying. Weekly spellings and homework also go on so less chance of homework being lost or 'eaten by the dog'.”
• Significantly reduces teacher workload“biggest impact is less time spent stood at the photocopier”
