How does iLearn2 work?
iLearn2 is used in over 800 schools and provides over 60 activity packs with lesson outlines, video tutorials and resources to cover the Key Stage 1 and 2 Computing Curriculum plus much more.
The packs include activities for a variety of software across multiple platforms, providing pupils with a wide range of skills. 95% of the software covered is free, web-based and compatible with all devices. In many cases, pupils can choose the tutorials and activities for the software they have on their computer (Windows, iPad, Chromebook etc).
The activity packs are updated EVERY week, helping learn and teach the latest digital skills.

Years 1-6 Computing Progression
Our activity packs are divided into year group pages (use the navigation at the top of the website) with a progression of skills, the Key Stage 1/2 curriculum content covered and approximation of time for each pack. There is also our Progression of Skills page, which helps map out the teaching progression of computing from years 1-6, providing full curriculum coverage. Each activity pack has lesson outlines and the teacher view of the pupil activity pack (see below), including step by step video tutorials helping with teacher subject knowledge and confidence. Try a FREE sample activity pack and activities for each year group above. |

Pupil Activity Packs
Virtually all of our activity packs have an associated pupil activity pack, which allows pupils to work step by step at their own pace through the video tutorials and challenges at school or home, learning hundreds of digital skills. The pupil packs also help teachers, regardless of computing teaching experience, to provide pupils with activities and tutorials that build confidence of the less able and stretch the higher ability. Pupils access each activity pack with a simple 4 digit code, which is typed into the login screen. Teachers can find the codes by going to the activity pack when signed in as a teacher - no pupil logins to make! |

Plugged and Unplugged Assessment
Each pack provides advice on how pupils can save their work within the software being covered. Most packs include a downloadable assessment grid, with the skills and space for pupil names across the top. The cells change colour as teachers type 1, 2 or 3 (Achieved, Achieved with support or Not achieved). Some packs demonstrate free websites to automatically assess the skills covered in the pack. The packs also include challenge sheets/cards, which can be used to capture individual pupil understanding or as a group assessment activity. |
Certificates
For some activity packs there are also downloadable certificates which can be used at a teacher’s discretion and awarded to pupils who have shown excellent skills in that area of computing. |
Embed
The Embed section includes hundreds of ideas how our activity packs can be used and adapted within other curriculum areas/topics. We are teachers so all of the ideas come direct from the classroom and we have provided many pupil work examples for inspiration. |
International
We have hundreds of schools using the website all over the world. The navigation of the website is based around the Primary Computing Curriculum for England but the activity packs can be used in any English speaking school. We have started the process of mapping the activity packs to curriculums in different countries, see the links at the bottom of the page. |
