Hannah Daltry Stokesely School

Quizlet Set up a free account (you do not need to pay for the Teacher account) search your subject Hopefully you will find another teacher has already uploaded the content you want! If not, you can set up your own really easily Engaging Competitive- records scores and tells pupil their place in the class at the end of each game! Good for retention Easy homework to set & great as a meaningful, useful computer room lesson Helps with learning of key words Search ‘Stokesley’

Memrise Lots of course content already uploaded by other users Builds up gradually Uses a variety of techniques to aid retention- repetitive in a good way Pupils can track their own progress Leaderboard adds competitive element

Padlet Set up a wall and pupils can post to it as a homework task No marking Good starter for next lesson Easy to see who has done it and who hasn’t

Pinterest Good for visual learners Pupils can make a ‘board’ and pin as much as they want to it- could be used as a revision aid

Popcorn! Set a timer for 15 seconds Set a topic Pupils choose when to shout out their word Afterwards, write down everything you heard Inclusive, weaker pupils can be supported by stronger pupils
