One lesson.
Every learner in the room.

Thirty students, three levels, a handful of access needs and fifty minutes. OctoDecks turns the lesson you already wrote into one adaptive, interactive deck. Core and extended content, student-owned accessibility and live results are built in, so you don’t need three worksheets.

Sound familiar?

Three versions of every resource

Core, extended and a SEND-friendly copy, made separately, printed separately and out of date by next term.

No signal until the assessment

Hands go up from the same five students. Everyone else copies. You find the gap when you mark the books.

Four tabs to teach one lesson

Slides, a quiz site, a form for the exit ticket and a printed task. Half the lesson is switching between them.

One deck

A lesson, start to finish

Everything below happens inside one OctoDecks presentation. Students join once with a room code and stay with you throughout.

Starter
Retrieval Grid

Last lesson’s keywords, answered on their own devices while you take the register.

Teach
Core + extended

Everyone gets the core explanation. Students who are ready open the extended challenge themselves, privately and without being labelled.

Check
Live MCQ

The bar chart shows which wrong answer pulled the class, so you can reteach it now, not three weeks later.

Practise
Exam Question

A GCSE-style question with a model answer you reveal one annotation at a time.

Plenary
Exit Ticket

One question, every student, on your board before they leave.

Built for the secondary classroom

Adaptive by default

Core and extended content in every activity. Students choose to go further, so stretch never depends on who you happened to group together.

Accessibility students own

Dyslexia-friendly font, wider spacing, warm backgrounds, dual coding and word support, all switched on by the student, privately, on their own device.

Frayer models for key vocabulary

Add a Frayer model to any key word. Students tap the word to open it, and it prints on worksheets for EAL learners and literacy starters.

Worksheets and cover work

Generate a printable worksheet from the same deck in one click. Cover lessons are ready without writing anything new.

Games that revise

Wedge Trivia, Prize Ladder, Keyword Bingo and the World Explorer adventure game, all using your own questions from a CSV.

Computing and D&T practicals

Crumble programs appear as real blocks on the slide, and the Web Player runs a live coding editor inside the lesson.

Questions

Do students need accounts or email addresses?

No. Students join with a 4-digit room code on any device, with no login, no app and no personal data collected. Session and response data is deleted when you end the session.

Does it help with SEND and EAL learners?

Yes. Students control their own font, spacing, background, dual coding and word support privately, without having to ask. Clear Now–Next–Then structure and Frayer models support learners who need vocabulary scaffolding.

Can I still use my PowerPoints?

You build in OctoDecks, then export any deck to PowerPoint or PDF when you need a static copy, for example to upload to Google Classroom or Teams.

Can a whole department share resources?

Yes. Decks and CSV question packs can be shared between colleagues, and Department and School licences put everyone on the same platform.
