Write together in real time using this collaborative word processing tool, 2Write is the cornerstone of many of the activities used in Purple Mash. It offers a word processing tool for learners to use in written projects, not just in English but across the curriculum.

The tool we want to highlight this week is Developing Tray. Developing Tray, within the Text Toolkit, is an application that draws children into applying their knowledge and skills of reading to an unknown text. It encourages work, not just on a word level, but on a sentence and whole-text level. It works well as a whole class activity using a whiteboard but can also be used by groups and individuals, with or without a teacher.

Everyone at 2Simple takes every opportunity to make the safety of pupils an integral part of everything we do on Purple Mash, helping to support safeguarding in your school. This starts with providing secure Purple Mash cloud storage for all your schools resources and activities and continues by offering you support in teaching online safety by providing resources and guidance.

2Type is possibly one of the most underrated yet valuable resources available in Purple Mash. To learn to use a keyboard correctly should be the start of any lesson and any digital learning journey.
