Hi all,

Has anyone used this in a secondary environment? Either through the interactive whiteboard or in a computer suite? My school has just bought a whole school licence and I'm keen to use anything my dept doesn't have to pay for! Any feedback/tips would be appreciated!
Thanks +wave+

Yes - we have it too. I've had a few hours inset on it and fell in love with it. As yet I have only used it with one class - to make a revision game. It is pretty labour intensive but I guess that as the kids become more skilled (and me) it will become easier. The end product is really sensational!!!!

Um...not in a secondary school, but I am in a primary school. We bought a stand alone copy just over a year ago, but are hoping to upgrade this year. +wave+ The children are defintely better than any of the staff!
