Rachel Coathup (ID: 000000d148cb46c6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/29/2020 Howdou is such a fantastic tool for students and teachers! Not only does it assess knowledge of how to use Google tools but it also allows students /teachers to complete it in self guided mode allowing them to learn whilst using it. Because the app is practical and not just a task given by the teacher our students love it. The best bit is for students/teachers who may not know how to complete a particular skill they are prompted with what it is to move on. We love the badges and the passport where teachers and students can collect all of their badges and it is also amazing to see not just their competency but also their efficiency to use shortcuts and faster actions. The best tool for developing Digital Literacy and Digital skills in school for students and staff. Can't recommend this enough!

James Marsh (ID: 0000005db250a8b9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/20/2020 I really appreciate how it goes at your own pace and adapts to your learning style… Great for working through learning about the Google tools at my leisure. Our students love the gamification piece and badges, especially collecting them in their the digital passports!

Emma Pass (ID: 00000038f91ede39) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/05/2020 This is a fantastic tool! Not only does it give your staff and students great, practical, hands-on practice on digital tools. You can also use it in a self-guided mode that allows users to "learn by doing." Then, you get assessment data on how those users are doing. I cannot recommend more highly!

Ben Whitaker (ID: 000000fa12b90aa5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/04/2020 Howdou is a wonderful way to train staff and students on how to use the Google for Education tools. The hints and tips, as well as the learning by doing method is brilliant. We have had lots of students complete the badges.
