Andy Weymouth is a teacher in Plymouth. He’s used Educake for over four years and has shared three ways he uses Educake to support revision.
1. For regular revision throughout the year
Educake’s invaluable for revision. We use it at the end of every module – so a revision quiz every three to five weeks all year round.
The results are all recorded and you can see at a glance how pupils are progressing.
2. To identify gaps in learning and understand individual strengths and weaknesses
Educake is very good at working out whether pupils have got the knowledge.
It’s easy to spot areas of difficulty, as you can spot patterns in answers where lots of pupils got something wrong.
It’s also a quick record of which children haven’t completed their homework. It’s quite obvious who is actually doing Educake.
The Markbook is also a useful tool to see how individual students are doing, for example to consult before a parents’ evening to get an accurate picture of their recent performance.
3. As a reflection tool in the classroom
With the information from the Markbook and Quiz Results page you can pick up which questions pupils got wrong and give those topics more attention back in class.
This can help in the run up to SATs- Educake makes sure you’re focusing on the areas that need most attention.
You can show quiz results (anonymised if you want) during a lesson to show common issues, or to review feedback from pupils.
