Using individual logins for each pupil on Purple Mash offers numerous advantages over shared group logins. These benefits include:
- Personalized Task Management: Teachers can assign specific 2Do's (tasks) to individual pupils, monitor their progress, provide tailored feedback, and reset tasks to demonstrate progression.
- Enhanced Collaboration: Access to collaborative tools such as 2Write, 2Email, 2Blog, 2Investigate, 2Connect, and display boards is facilitated, promoting interactive learning experiences.
- Individual Assessment: Teachers can assess pupils individually using score reports from applications like 2Code, 2Quiz, and various games, allowing for targeted support and development.
- Progress Tracking: The ability to create and assess pupil progress through judgments and utilize the data dashboard to view and generate progression reports is enabled.
- Personalized Feedback and Rewards: Teachers can provide individual awards and feedback, both textually and verbally, on pupils' work, fostering a more personalized learning environment.
- Secure Work Management: Pupils can save their work to personal folders, which teachers can access at any time, ensuring work is organized and easily retrievable.
Relying on a single group login can lead to complications, such as pupils inadvertently overwriting each other's work when saving tasks. Additionally, identifying the sender of an email in 2Email or tracking contributions to collaborative projects becomes challenging, raising e-safety concerns.
To set up individual logins, it is recommended to use MIS Sync from your school database. Alternatively, users can be set up manually by populating the provided Excel template and uploading it via the Import Wizard in Manage Users.
Login credentials can be tailored to be age-appropriate; younger pupils may use simple picture-based passwords, while older pupils can have more complex credentials.
