Why schools love Karma

‘’As our school closed for lockdown, we quickly moved to the Microsoft Teams platform to continue teaching and learning. We needed a way to give the students praise the same way that they would receive it in the classroom. We give Karma for attending lessons on time, returning assignments and active engagement on the teaching platform.’’
‘‘Students are working harder to get Karma points. The dashboard is visible to all students, which encourages everyone to get on the board but more importantly, work towards the school values to achieve karma points, which in turn means that our students are learning!’’
‘’Our students are loving it, and compete for points by turning up for lessons and doing their work! We have found Karma Bot invaluable to our success for keeping our students engaged with teaching and learning. Support is fast, friendly and we are very pleased with this product!’’
‘’We have found a way to encourage students to engage with learning in an online classroom. With input from all our teachers, we created rewards that our students strived for, like a call home from the Head Teacher to let your parents know how well they're doing or an Amazon voucher and many more great rewards. We set our values high for our students to achieve.’’
