A Message from our Assistant Principal, Learning and Improvement
Atomi
This term, Carroll College has been trailing a new online senior resource, ‘Atomi’. Atomi provides students with targeted learning videos and practice exams to assist them in their learning and preparing for assessment tasks. Atomi has thousands of ready-made syllabus specific lessons that are simple, fun and easy to watch. The interactive lessons focus on the practical and theoretical knowledge. Almost 50% of course time is dedicated to exploring how content is applied in assessments, what makes a great answer and how to turn knowledge into marks. Atomi helps increase flexibility by enabling both class-paced and self-paced learning. Students that missed a lesson or have fallen behind have the opportunity to get back on track and achieve their full potential through Atomi.
After using Atomi for 5 weeks, our students have:
- Viewed 7027 videos
- Answered 7471 questions
Well done to our students!
I encourage our senior students to log into Atomi and as they prepare for their first HSC assessment tasks. If any students have any feedback on the resource, please see Mrs Harris.
