provides free access to hundreds of quality, interactive learning
games and exam drills for children in KS3 and KS4. Most subject
areas covered. The system was co-designed by a national award winning
teacher (Becta Award for ICT in Practice), now working as Lead Practitioner
for the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust.
Parents and teachers will be able to see student progress as their
scores are automatically recorded on their portfolio. The nature
of the games, combined with the in-built reward systems will rapidly
develop knowledge and help you to prepare children for exam success.
Great for students with learning difficulties such as ADHD and for
gifted students keen to work independently to get ahead in their
studies.
An additional freebie within what2learn is a free learning game
generator, making it quick and easy for anybody to make colorful,
interactive learning games.
