How have you successfully implemented Education Perfect at your school?
Still in the introductory phase but many students are self-motivated by education perfect to use
it as a homework tool and for their own revision.
As teachers we have booked computer time to introduce students to it and set “homework”
tasks for students to complete in their own time or when they have finished classwork.
I have started setting up competitions for students to compete against other classes within the
school to motivate them and see how other classes compare for revision tasks. This has been
an easy way to introduce school wide competition in a transparent and engaging way
Still haven’t achieved 100% use and a few students are resistant to e-learning but this is slowly
improving. There are a few small issues with students who do not have internet access at home.
But there is still a higher level of engagement than with more traditional teaching methods.
What are the different ways you use Education Perfect with your classes?
Revision - to give students a different medium for answering questions in the lead up to tests
and exams. By setting tasks I can monitor who is attempting and completing revision and I get
feedback as to any questions that my students are struggling with. This helps me to plan for
revision lessons to address the areas my students most need help with.
Competition - Students can see how others in their class are doing and others throughout the
school. This encourages them to attempt more questions and increases the levels of
engagement.
Blending lessons - By giving students choices of how to learn new content. Some students
prefer to work through units on education perfect whereas others would rather watch a video
clip or listen to me in a more traditional teaching setting. This helps to foster more engagement
throughout my classes
How do you use Education Perfect with your junior students? And your senior students?
We haven’t used it with junior students yet but seniors are enjoying using education perfect as a
learning tool. I have set up homework tasks to automatically start each week and I can easily
monitor student progress and identify areas where they may be struggling. I can easily check
long answers to exam questions and given immediate feedback to the students.
What suggestions do you have for other schools?
It can take time to get all students familiar with education perfect. It’s a good idea to closely
monitor progress and give feedback to students in the first few weeks of use for them to see the
benefits and realise that they still need to work hard to achieve.
Send messages to the support team if you notice glitches. They are awesome at fixing things
quickly and letting you know why something unexpected has happened
