Each month we will be highlighting a #MashoftheMonth, this will focus on a tool or application within Purple Mash and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum. During the month, if you share how you have used #MashoftheMonth, you will then be entered into a draw to win a 2Simple Goody Bag!

June's #MashoftheMonth is 2Quiz, as it has just been updated with new question types, making it even easier to create engaging and useful quizzes.

Prove learning within Purple Mash with the new Data Dashboard. Assign curriculum objectives to 2Do's, make customised judgements against them and see all your Purple Mash data in one handy place.

We get asked all the time if schools still need to collect evidence of children’s learning. Our view has always been a resounding “Yes, absolutely!”. There is no doubt the introduction of new frameworks and methodologies created a narrative that collecting evidence was no longer needed. This message was received with open arms from early years practitioners who were fed up with the amount of time they were spending collecting evidence and assessment data. As a result many schools simply stopped collecting evidence because they believed that was the message coming from the experts. However, we have spoken to several schools that gave up collecting evidence and are now regretting the fact that they no longer have a collection of the exceptional practice and learners' magical moments; those experiences are lost forever.

Evidence Me is our learning stories platform which makes record keeping effortless and secure. Check out our blog to explore our top 5 reasons for giving Evidence Me a try this year!

As your learners progress throughout the year, there will be many 'Wow' moments. Whilst these milestones are rewarding, keeping track of each child's learning journey can be challenging. Take a look at our blog to find out how Evidence Me can help to simplify this process.
