I just stumbled upon www.tutpup.com. It looks like a great, competition and rewards based resource for maths and spelling. Really suited to the primary school. Tutpup is affiliated to the adopt-a-monster social networking come edugaming site MoshiMonsters.
With TutPup, teachers can join for free and set up a class code. Pupils can then be given that class code and use it to join. Pupils do not sign in with their names, they choose an animal, colour and number and that becomes their TutPup ID. For example, I am RedOwl11434. Below is a creenshot of the my home page.
When a pupil joins a class you create, you can watch their progress as they compete in competition with other pupils from all over the world in Maths, Algebra, Times Tables and Spelling games. Pupils graduate from each level by correctly answering 10 questions in 3 different games. Pupils can try their best to get onto the Wall of Fame, win awards for winning game and keep a record of their wins.
The screenshot above shows me playing against someone from the USA in a Maths Mix game.
I would love to hear from anyone who is using this resource just now, or if anyone intends to use it with their classes.

Tutput is brilliant! It is very good for mental maths as it makes you think really quickly! It is good that you can compete against people from other countries. I am studying primary teaching at Uni and I know that I would like to use this with a class
What a FUN game!

TutPup is indeed excellent! Are you intedning on using it in class when you are out on placement Lauren? It’d be great to hear how the pupils react to it. I dont know if you have seen or used Moshi Monsters. It looks like a great tool for use in the primary classroom. Also, if you are interested in games based learning, check out some of the work we’ve done with Wild Earth African Safar i and Wii Music to name but 2 on the consolarium blog.
Hope you are enjoying your Primary course!
