Quotes
This is what just a few of our customers have said:
Secondary
“My class did remarkably well in SATs. The lower ability students did especially well, and I am sure that Kar2ouche had a real part to play in their success”
Roz Trudgon, English Teacher, Kingshurst CTC, Birmingham
“Overall we believe that by incorporating the use of ICT through Kar2ouche into this Macbeth scheme of work, we have made learning more effective for our pupils – raising motivation and providing pupils with an innovative new framework through which to express their ideas and develop their understanding”
Steph White, English Teacher, Swanshurst Training School, Birmingham
“The students really enjoyed using the program …they all felt that they had learnt new vocabulary and that they had the understanding and confidence to use it.”
TEEM reviewer, Clique Francais
“Kar2ouche stood out for me as a piece of software so versatile and most likely to stimulate kids into creativity of their own through role play, but also to promote literacy and thinking skills”
Cheryl Barnes, Foundation Subject Consultant for KS3, Somerset LEA
"We use Kar2ouche, mainly with year 11 students in both English and PSE. Using the PSE programs has enabled students to produce simple scenarios that allow them to explore difficult issues, such as bullying. Students produce scenes then produce an appropriate and inappropriate response."
Lisa Pittwood, ICT Coordinator, Ellesmere College, Leicester
“It was different, you could learn but it was fun and you didn't really feel like you were learning. It was interesting and exciting.”
Student Year 9 at Stanborough School Welwyn Garden City
“…a resource which offers students and teachers an imaginative, innovative and interesting way to discover scientific history”
Head of Science at Stanborough School Welwyn Garden City
Primary
“We used Kar2ouche to meet the needs of our development plan which was to increase the children’s progress in creative writing”
Julia Andrew, ICT Coordinator, Hook Lane Primary School, Bexley
"Parkhill Junior school will be using Kar2ouche to support cross curricular work in the Summer term with children in years 3 to 6. We feel Kar2ouche is an extremely powerful medium that will motivate the children and capture their creative imagination. It is a perfect vehicle to enhance their learning through the formidable tool of multimedia."
Alison Seagrave, Curriculum Development Manager, Parkhill Junior School
‘The children have embraced the technological tools of the 21st century; video conferencing, e-mail, digital media, Kar2ouche etc, in order to collaborate with Oakington Manor to explore and highlight issues and to look for common solutions to break the ‘code of silence’ which can seem to surround bullying. Kar2ouche has enabled them to bring to the fore bullying and highlight it as a real and complex issue which needs direct action’.
Eneas McNulty, St Mary Magdalen’s RC Junior School, Brent, London
