GCSEPod

We are delighted to announce that Alsager School has recently invested in GCSEPod, the award-winning digital content and revision provider used by over 1,250 schools worldwide.

Students now have access to GCSEPod’s library of over 6,000 ‘Pods,’ 3-5 minute videos designed to deliver knowledge in short bursts. GCSEPod makes learning and revision much more manageable: every Pod is mapped to an exam board, and contains all the right facts, quotes, keywords, dates and annotated diagrams that our students need for GCSE success – all neatly organised into topics and exam playlists.

One of the best things about GCSEPod is that students can download any Pod to their mobile device, and then they can watch them at any time, in any place, with or without internet. It’s like they’re carrying a whole set of textbooks in their pocket!
