Decision Maker (Beta version)

Explore history in the making

 

We all make decisions every day of our lives. Decision Maker offers students a chance to consider that ‘What would you do?' question but in the context of a historical event. 

 

Decision Maker's power is in its flexibility. From a simple KS3 question to a complex KS5 issue, the choice is yours. Use it to explore complex historical events and the interplay of various factors to bring about that event.

Magnet

Fun, flippable tiles with images

You can use our onscreen Magnet tiles just like the ones on your fridge door, but being digital, our magnets can also be edited, coloured, stacked, flipped, dragged and dropped – again and again ... !

Our classroom-ready activities will show you some of the possibilities – and in no time at all you'll be making your own. You can put whatever you want on a Magnet tile, from single letters to whole phrases. You can add sound clips and images, and you can add your own backgrounds too.

Choices (Beta version)

Play a part in history

 

Explore the choices of monarchs, leaders and everyday folk through interactive role-play, or breathe life into historical scenarios with simulation tasks. 

Choose a key figure from history, and ask students to put themselves in their illustrious shoes, or to consider historical events from a contemporary perspective. What choices could they have made, and what were the outcomes?
