What Are Activities?
Activities are engaging pieces of content which are mapped to curriculum objectives and are available across all subjects.
- bright, engaging graphics: both setting the scene and making learning fun.
- varied questions: many Activities pull from a bank of questions so students can repeat them but get different questions each time.
- enhance progression: answers are reinforced to help students develop their knowledge.
- recorded scores: to help with monitoring progress, all students’ scores are automatically saved so that teachers can view them.
Don’t forget that Activities come with printable materials, like Activity Sheets, Teacher Notes and Lesson Ideas, to support teaching and help you save time planning.
How Can I Use Content, Including Activities, with My Class?
There’re so many ways to use EducationCity’s content! This flexibility helps to reinforce learning and offer a variety of ways to teach.
- Whiteboard Mode: get content up on the board for interactive learning as a class.
- Individual learning on tablets/laptops: set up a MyCity and allocate content to students – their scores will be recorded to help you track progress!
