Frequently Asked Questions about PbyP

What kind of helpsheets do students need or is there enough on the site?

The first 3000 users on the system have thrived without helpsheets.  Where they have found difficulty, users have waited for others to innovate and then learned from each other.

Clearly, as the user group becomes larger, more and more resources and exemplars will be added and although most students will still probably wish to innovate themselves, this support will be useful for teachers setting up the learning opportunities as well as for those students who prefer to use extra guidance.

In the ‘Starter pack’ we provide guidance that has already emerged from the excellent schools currently involved.

Schools can add their own resources into the tool and can make these available free or for a charge.

Next Question: Will children set themselves unrealistic targets to achieve and then lose motivation?

Previous Question: Does PbyP apply in the same way to learners of all ages?
