"Language, in the very nature, has to be interactive anyway. It's all about communication, it's all about working together and I think Kerboodle lends itself to that..."
Rebecca Rickard, The Romsey School
"Today, I gave three sets of students different tasks to do, [...] after which they got together and taught each other, effectively. That kind of approach we can't do with a VLE..."
Peter Clarke, St Paul's Catholic College
"Get the students on having a play...the more they familiarise themselves with it the more willing they are to focus on their key areas of weakness."
Hannah Bridge, Frensham Heights School
"They love the ability to annotate their own copy of the book, safe in the knowledge that it will remain there until they return for revision later in the course..."
David Paterson, Meridian School
"All in all, the German material on Kerboodle is excellent for teaching both A Level and IB German. It is both accessible and challenging at the same time."
Miss Freeman, Stephen Perse Sixth Form College
"The course has helped develop my knowledge/confidence. It encourages independent learning so pupils are learning both at school and home."
Nagina Munawar, Broadway School
"Our pupils are already in ability groups so we differentiate to suit the group - often by giving just some of a worksheet rather than all of it."
Marie Darwin, The McAuley Catholic High School
"In the run up to the examinations, they have particularly appreciated the fact that they can use it at home [...] It has been an invaluable resource this year."
Sally Jones, Alderley Edge School for Girls
"Genuinely, Kerboodle makes my life easier. I'd be lost without it."
Karen Key, Knutsford Academy
"These have made excellent homework based tasks as the students find them easy to follow and the resources are all in one place."
Paul Hunt, The Appleton School
"Students very much liked the mp3 materials and the animations that we used in class. It is extremely beneficial to be able to direct them to these via Kerboodle..."
Alison Popperwell, The Coopers' Company and Coborn School
"I have never had such good access to listening tasks which can be done as homeworks, and regularly set either the interactive tasks or worksheets."
Alex Crawford, St Joseph's Catholic School
"The For You Kerboodle Books are more than just online textbooks. No matter which exam board you use, inside you'll find links to literally hundreds of resources..."
Peter Clarke, St Paul's Catholic College
"Ask the pupils to invent their own exercises to go with the transcript so they can test the rest of the class! Mine enjoy doing 'find the phrase' exercises."
Katy Hunzinger, Cundall Manor School
"I introduced the AQA syllabus and found the Kerboodle materials invaluable in helping me get to grips with the course."
Jacqui Winn, St Augustines Catholic high school
"I break up the lesson into 'carousels' [...] some do targeted vocabulary work on Kerboodle, some do extended reading tasks and others do a listening task with me."
Anna Pethybridge, King James I Community Arts College
"I have been very impressed with the range of resources and help overall available on the Kerboodle site - it should be a real help in developing and delivering lessons."
Dave Clark, St Augustine's RC High School
"It is excellent also for getting students to do independent work at home which can then be monitored. We have used it with great success with our current Year 10..."
Maggie Hildreth, The Joseph Rowntree School
