What is ZONDLE?

zondle is a free web and mobile platform that empowers teachers to engage students and enhance learning.

• “People often say motivation doesn’t last. Neither does bathing—that’s why we recommend it daily.” – Zig Ziglar

ZONDLE is for:

-teachers

-students

-parents

What can we do with Zondle?

-Teachers can (for example):

• Create questions (any language, any subject, any level) or mash together any of the

1.4 million questions created by other users, to meet individual or group needs;

• teach using our unique whole-class teaching game;

• set questions for students to play in games or as summative assessment (no marking!);

• monitor progress (in the zondle gradebook);

• connect with other teachers worldwide.

Students can (for example):

• play questions set by their teacher in any of 60+ games, online or mobile;

• create, play and practice their own questions;

• monitor their progress;

• collect points, zollars and badges;

• compete on leaderboards;

• create their own reward games.

zondle enhances learning

zondle:

• is grounded in education, psychology and neuroscience research (from the universities of Oxford and Bristol);

• creates heightened moments of engagement (increased synaptic dopamine), which teachers can exploit for learning;

• encourages students to engage with the learning content, to encode into long-term memory and automatize;

• enables students to consolidate classroom learning, or prepare for high-stakes testing.
