“I love the range of activities that I can include in a lesson. Also how I can inspire my own curiosity and creativity by the amount of customisation you can do. My students really enjoy all the different ways they can show their learning and the feedback has proven very popular. Basically all of my lessons are either entirely or partially a Curipod lesson and my classroom is a better place for it ” AIleen Wallace
