Yacapaca allows you to set Flash quizzes and portfolio tasks for students – with the added bonus of being able to see who has completed it, their score and class data for each activity.

It takes a while to get used to (not totally intuitive), but once you’re up and running it’s worth the effort. There is a wealth of authoring group to join (including IB Biology and IB MYP Science), where you can add questions to a common bank and draw from the work and expertise of other teachers. The GCSE Biology and Physics and Science groups are very well resourced indeed.

Go on, have a go. At least your mob will get a different type of homework this week.
