What do students think?
• Jack Beard (Year 9 – Student)
“We got to use our computer skills to research and present our work. We got to do things like making videos to explain our learning and putting real time photos into our assignments. It made my school work more interesting.”
• David Coupe (Year 9 –Student)“Studywiz is good because I can submit my assignments from
home. The teachers also mark online and post them back to us. My parents can also see what is going on in the different subjects. It makes communication with teachers really easy, which has its ups and downs”.
