Customer Corner – How are schools using SAM Learning?
We love hearing the positive feedback from our schools across the globe, sharing the triumphs and successes they are having with SAM Learning. Our Customer Corner is a dedicated section of our newsletter to showcase how schools are benefiting and maximising the value of their SAM Learning subscription, to share best practice.….
“I use it to cater exam questions for my GCSE year 11 class, I can use it to focus the questions on specific topics where understanding is not as great. I also use it to create quizzes for my year 7 form class for registration in the morning. I think other teachers use it in a similar way to amend and set GCSE questions for students where knowledge needs improving in a topic.
Content for your subject is a very useful section, especially with all of the resources and website links to hand.
It’s an easy platform to use once you get the hang of it, the instruction videos are very useful and helpful. It can save teachers a lot of time looking for resources to use.
SAM learning was recommended to me by another teacher to use more as they found it useful.”
Alex Vaughan, Hemel Hempstead School.
“In my school and department, we utilise Sam Learning for our homework assignments. One aspect I particularly appreciate is the ability to create intervention groups for students who require additional support. Many students have expressed their enjoyment of being able to retake assignments to improve their scores, and they appreciate earning points and rewards for completing specific tasks. I believe other schools would benefit from implementing Sam Learning as it is user-friendly and covers a diverse array of subjects across various key stages and exam boards”
Ms T Warburton, Grays Convent School.
“Our schools main purpose for using SAM learning is for setting homework and normally if we have some students off ill etc. we have them complete tasks and stretch themselves using the activities provided.
My favourite features are the fact that you have exam specific content with activities which we are able to personalise to match our learners.
Staff have mentioned the easy use of the platform.
Allows you to tailor activities and it is also exam board specific to match what your content delivery
I am really pleased to be able to use a platform that offers everything I need for effective learning to take place outside of the classroom”
Faiza Ayub, Hodge Hill College.
“We use SAM Learning for students that are not in school and need to access some form of education at home temporarily. We also use SAM Learning during the school day to target specific areas of the curriculum in subjects e.g. revision.
Favourite features – Easy to see progress and running reports especially for those not in school.
Students give positive feedback ‘easy to use and can work on any subject I choose’
Other schools should use SAM Learning as you can personalise to each student should you wish. You are able to see progress and run reports. It shows hours of working per day and engagement.”
