Aileen uses Curipod in her lessons. Curipod is a browser based tool which allows students to join interactive lessons in real time. It has a wide range of features for both teachers and students.
What was the impact?
“I have noticed a huge improvement in engagement and behaviour. I very quickly saw an improvement in the quality of answers and in student confidence when attempting questions. This has continued into the 2023-24 academic year. BGE classes are on a rota and it can be tricky to settle some classes. I have found that a couple of weeks of getting used to using Curipod and the majority of students settle quicker at the start of class and maintain a better level of focus throughout the lesson. The range of generators and the adaptability of them makes them useful to any faculty in the school. English are already experimenting with the generated feedback and seeing positive results.”

“It makes learning more fun and useful like if the AI was to give us feedback it would give us it back in 30 seconds but if a teacher was to give feedback it would be 2 to 3 weeks (no offence teachers)!”
“It helps the lessons move a lot faster so we’re able to get more done in shorter periods of time.”
“It’s good having that drawing brain break because it refreshes your mind for upcoming questions.”
You can find out more about what students think by exploring Aileen’s ‘What do student’s think about Curipod?’ Canva or watching her presentation from Curicon which can be found below.
Where next?
“I have started to try to introduce Curipod to colleagues. As I said, almost all of my lessons are now done with Curipod and if I am updating old ones I do it by ‘curifying’ them on the platform and adding in the new information. Decks can be shared with students via a link or you can now download them as PDFs which I have found useful for providing revision materials. The limit is really your own imagination.”
