3. We received a full training day with the three other Warwickshire schools who were involved with pilot project. Three subsequent half days of training. Initially, two classes from school were invited to take part in the project -Year 5 and Year 6 After six weeks the other Year 6 class were given shared access to the resources as we felt that they were at a disadvantage.

5. Content So easy to add your own content ……….Commercial content ……. Just set up the resource and it is there …but We are looking at housekeeping and linking to curriculum objectives Searching and retrieving is FAST Out of school access to curriculum resources SATS revision resources Information sharing with parents Fast to make and add resources Great to have access to them anywhere

6. Communication Chat: and the ability to set times for it Email: careful preparation and school protocols Very popular with children. Seen to have great potential by staff

7. Mrs.Rawlings how do you upload homework? Mrs.Rawlings- I have forgotten how to upload homework. You might wonder why i have not sent you my homework- it’s because I don't know how to upload it to you and if you want to know I have done my homework its just i haven't sent it to you yet so when you get this can you tell me please I am worried i might send it to the wrong person or sent something else so please tell me?

9. Speed of access and immediacy …….. Great for learners to post work for discussion

11. Following up the learning ……many ways to do so Copy and paste discussions……. for editing highlighting commonalities making a playscript

28. 27/03/2007 17:12 what i think of studywiz: Studywiz is a great thing, not only that it has chat and e-mails so that I can talk to people that I wouldn't normally talk to but it is also educational and it is really helping me with my revision for sats and I'm very lucky that studywiz has started in the year that I'm doing my sats so I could get extra marks in my test that I wasn't to sure on before, so I would definetly like it if Studywiz became perminant.

29. 27/03/2007 17:06 Hi this is what i think about studywiz, Studywiz is a great activities site for children and really helps them with their work. It isn't all just boring work though, it is really good fun. Sending our homework over the computer is really good because then you don't loose your work. I also really like the chat facility and the messages because you can send your private thoughts. Overall i think that studywiz is a great resource for children in school, all ages. Ben Baxter

30. What does the future hold for Park Hill and Studywiz? We have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the project and have extended our contract to use the facility throughout the Summer Term. One of my performance management targets is to introduce the learning platform to all other colleagues within the school – I will relish this opportunity to share my experiences and newly acquired skills with others!! We have come a long way during the past four months with the implementation of the Studywiz Learning Platform
