Teachers spend, on average,
between 7 and 12 hours each week
creating lesson plans and resources.
Sound familiar? We all know that constantly finding new
and exciting materials with which to teach and engage
students in their learning can be tricky. Sourcing the
right resources can quickly consume all the spare time
teachers might have outside of teaching, leaving little
time for anything else. Time seems to disappear when
scrolling through endless search results, and the quality
of free resources varies so wildly.
The result? Overworked teachers and under-achieving students.
When we created our Twig and Tigtag products, we wanted to tackle
these inter-linked issues head-on. We wanted to engage students
by sparking a sense of awe, and a curiosity to learn and ask further
questions. We wanted to create platforms where teachers could easily
and quickly locate high-quality content that covered their curriculum,
inspired students, and helped build subject knowledge – giving teachers
more time to truly immerse themselves in what they’re best at: teaching.
Twig and Tigtag videos use high-quality footage, sourced from the likes
of BBC and NASA, to give students examples of how scientific concepts
relate to their real-life experiences. Students have their imagination
ignited by real-world examples of science, and their excitement leads
to a love of STEM which means learning doesn’t feel like work.
Built-in key learning points, quizzes, review questions and assignment
features also allow teachers to easily monitor what students are
learning. Designed to work seamlessly with hybrid learning, Tigtag
comes with unlimited student accounts, and a range of integrations
including Google Classroom and SSO. So whether you’re back in the
classroom or still working with distance-learning, Twig can support
you wherever you are.
