Jon Smith

CEO and co-founder at Pobble Education

Pobble is shown to improve pupils’ speed, confidence and enjoyment of writing, whilst reducing teacher workload. The platform is supported by the UK Department for Education as a recipient of the Edtech Innovation Fund. Pobble’s writing tools allow teachers and their pupils to: • easily access high quality, curriculum aligned content at school or at home • save time with age specific lessons already built by the Pobble teachers • search the world’s largest bank of children’s writing examples sorted by age, topic and genre. • connect with a worldwide community to publish work, share lessons, engage in peer assessment and moderate writing assessment judgements. This reduces teacher workload and improves pupil attainment. Pobble won the Bett award for the Best Classroom Aid for Learning, Teaching and Assessment and the GESS award for Best Paid ICT Product.
