Positives:
  • Individualised learning - identify strengths/weaknesses
  • Safe website use which increases repetition, practice and therefore mastery (NCETM, 2014)
  • Portable learning

    Negatives:
  • Website Glitches - demotivating because points get lost
  • Internet use required - not inclusive due to digital divide (BBC, 2016)
  • Extension for progression
  • Teacher's not individualising or challenging those who do not complete homework - fluency opportunity reduced

Progress for future:
  • Allowing children to be able to communicate with peers and their teacher to increase connections and knowledge within a safe online environment - monitored by their educator

(Pearson Education, 2016)
