Spellings Module
A fun and interactive way to get pupils practicing their spellings.
The Spellings Module is a great way for you to to encourage pupils to develop their word building skills, both inside and outside of the classroom, as well as tracking their progress.
How does the Spellings Module work?
The Spellings Module allows you to create fantastic spelling lists in minutes which you can share with your class straight away or at a later date. Either choose from our pre-made lists of dozens of curriculum-focussed tests or create your own. Custom lists can be created for your learners, customised to each child’s ability.
Using the innovative look-cover-write-check method to assess your students gives them the opportunity to learn both spelling and typing skills. Additionally, for accessibility purposes, audio tests are available for words in pre-made tests.
How does the Spelling Module benefit learners?
Spelling tests can be accessed from anywhere at any time, and on any device. One of the best features of the module is its tracking feature – you can set the same test multiple times and track a pupil’s progress over the course of a year, or compare them with their peers. The BrainTrain feature lets you see which words are most commonly misspelled and even lets you take these to create new, more challenging tests.
ePortfolio Module
Create an online record of achievement for your students.
The ePortfolio Module is an e-portfolio for children that provides a colourful online space for them to upload the work they are proud of and want to share with others.
What does the ePortfolio Module do?
The ePortfolio Module gives your pupils a safe online space to save and display their work in. It can be used to create a digital story of learning – with students uploading text, images, documents and video of their achievements. Portfolios can be shared both inside and outside your school, engaging parents and the local community.
How does the ePortfolio Module benefit learners?
The ePortfolio Module promotes self-reflection and teaches children to be proud of their achievements. It encourages children to be expressive about the things they’ve enjoyed doing and to share that enjoyment with others. It provides a map of learning, allowing children to see their progress from month to month and year to year. Importantly, it allows you as a teacher to comment on any page and give students feedback on what they’ve done well.
Blogging for Schools
Help your children develop their confidence and self-expression.
Blogging is one of the most engaging and rewarding activities that children can do online. It is a fantastic way to develop reading and writing skills, promote peer learning and encourage open reflection on something newly learnt.
What does the Blog App do?
The Blog App is activated under your School Jotter account. Blog posts can be created and shared within the app or published directly to your school website. You might decide to set a blog topic for your class or ask students to keep a weekly log of their learning. Posts can be submitted for you to check and approve before publication. Pupils may be allowed to share or comment on blog posts once they have been published, enhancing the collaborative learning experience.
What are the key features of the Blog App?
The Blog App has a number of features to keep children safe online. Blog posts can be created within the app and shared only with a preselected group of people. As a teacher, you will retain control over the content created with a bad word filter notifying you if anyone is using the app inappropriately. By writing and sharing with others, pupils will learn to use the technology responsibly and gain an awareness of e-safety.

The app is an online rewards system that makes learning more enjoyable than ever.
