Why it is important to engage students over the school holidays
It's important for students to keep learning and practicing the retrieval of information learned in school, and Access GCSEPod is a great way for them to access information to keep their knowledge fresh.
Ensuring students are using Access GCSEPod over the school holidays means you can track independent usage and identify students who may need extra support and encouragement to learn at home.
Setting end of topic assignments over half term breaks is an ideal time for your students to demonstrate their knowledge ad helps you to prepare for the new term by focusing on knowledge gaps.
The summer holidays are often a time where students switch off completely and short regular sessions on Acces GCSEPod can make a huge difference to the amount of information they retain from the year.
