\nThe Challenge: An Intuitive Classroom Management Software For Teachers In 1:1
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/h2>\n

Cognita Schools<\/a> is a diverse group of schools with 60,000 students in 90 schools across four regions. As the pandemic accelerated Cognita\u2019s 1:1 deployment across their UK sites, devices became firmly embedded in the classroom experience. Donna Shah, Cognita\u2019s Digital Learning Adviser, knew they needed to help her teachers manage the diverse devices in use. \u201cTechnology has become fundamental to our teaching and learning and the education system across our Cognita schools,\u201d explained Ms. Shah. \u201cWe have over 11,000 students using a combination of Windows, Google and iOS devices, and we needed something that worked in support of everything we already had in our existing systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cognita needed a robust solution that could be customised to their new device-oriented, online classrooms, but whose use was also intuitive enough for teachers to adapt quickly without disrupting their lessons. \u201cThat\u2019s where Lightspeed Classroom Management came into play: it allows the teachers across our schools to manage and monitor their devices,\u201d said Ms. Shah. \u201cPlus, I can support teachers from my home office, while the senior leadership team can to the same regardless of where they are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Shah and the team also needed a management tool they could customise for the students of different ages in Cognita\u2019s schools. \u201cWe use Classroom Management from year 3 to year 13,\u201d Ms. Shah said. \u201cAs you can imagine, the needs of an eighteen-year-old differ greatly from those of a seven-year-old!\u201d<\/p>\n
