The countdown is on for #Bett2024 and we can't wait to be there!

It's always a fantastic few days getting to meet our community in person so we hope you'll come along to stand SH21 and say hello!

One of the themes for Bett is Leadership. At 2Simple all our products aim to support teachers in leading their subjects, streamlining the assessment process, supporting you with your digital strategy and development plans and saving you time.

Each month we will be highlighting a #MashoftheMonth. This will focus on a tool or application within Purple Mash and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum. During the month if you share how you have used #MashoftheMonth you will then be entered into a draw to win a 2Simple Goody bag!

2Do or not 2Do that is the question. However, it shouldn't really be a question, as the 2Do functionality in Purple Mash has had a major refresh and will save you time and reduce workload! There is also the benefit of not having to print out homework but using 2Do to set weekly homework, if setting a quiz then these are automatically marked, what's not to love.

On 16th May, Ofsted published their research review into the computing curriculum, aiming to 'identify factors that can contribute to a high-quality computing teaching and learning and including factors such as the curriculum itself, pedagogy, assessment and systems in place'. We've taken a close look at the report and identified how Purple Mash meets each of those factors, and throughout this week we're posting a series of blog posts outlining exactly how it does this. Each daily blog will cover 2-3 of the factors in depth, looking at what the report says and highlighting where Purple Mash supports them.

On day 2 of our series, we examine declarative and procedural knowledge, as well as computer science.
