20th August: AMERICAN ACCOUNTS LAUNCED
At What2Learn we are keen to make the learning activities as specific to your requirements as possible. As such, you can now either sign up for UK-based content or American-based content. Our American content is largely based on the requirements detailed by the California State Board of Education.
5th May: FREE ONLINE LEARNING GAME GENERATOR ARRIVES
We are excited to release to the world our free online learning game generator. All you need to do is fill in some blanks and a webpage with your game will be instantly created. You can then bookmark your game to use it whenever you want or link to it from a website. Game types include hangman, Q & A quizzes, anagrams and interactive wordsearches.
We have designed the system to be safe to use in schools as it has a profanity filter and it is possible for anybody to suspend a game they feel offends them in any way.
We have also provided some teacher guidance to help educators make the most of this fantastic resource.
2nd June: MEET THE MICONS
An exciting new feature enables students to personalise What2Learn by designing an animated cartoon-character to sit on their portfolio. After designing what their character will look like, students will be able to add a range of elements and features such as clothing, pets, backgrounds, and much more.
This is not simply something to make What2Learn more attractive to students - it supports the whole learning-focused ethos of the website. To add features to their micon, students will need to earn credits by completing learning games (i.e. ‘learn to earn’). We believe that this tool will provide an appropriate reward to young learners to encourage them to continue learning within What2Learn for longer than they may have before.
