Wizkid (Studywiz) in the Curriculum

Sharing day to day examples of how we are using Wizkid (Studywiz) within our FS, KS1 & KS2 classes. We will try to share curriculum ideas that did and didn't work. If you use Wizkid (Studywiz) and want to join send me an e-mail. Phil Bagge

Santa mail


Hi Folks
We hid little elves in all the public areas with letters on their hats in the style of a treasure hunt. The letters make a christmassy word, hurpold anyone?
We created a user 'Santa' to message all the children to ask them to find the elves, work out the word and message Santa back. Of course we made sure all the adults knew so that there was no worry of a stranger using Wizkid.
Now this is a pretty trivial and fun activity, but I am thinking that historical figures /fictional characters could message the children and require them to respond to activities in character. Just take care of your passwords, and remember to delete the user once the activity is done.

  1. Lovely idea! I was thinking of this sort of thing myself. One school were thinking of doing something similar for Phileas Fogg to give tasks and information to the children.

    Does it matter if the activity was fun and trivial? I think that is a great way to do it!
