    Language Boosters #1- Getting Started// Using Boosters// Admin system

    In this episode, Tess & Will dive into the most common questions teachers and schools have when getting started with the platform. We cover everything from adding students and logging in with QR codes, to how Boosters work, who chooses the weekly games, and whether they need to tie directly into classroom learning. We also tackle teacher and admin management—like setting up staff, viewing the platform from different roles, and adding multiple teachers to classes. Finally, we share a sneak peek at what’s coming next, including a new import function, fresh learning packs, assessment-style puzzles, and an expanded Help Centre to make onboarding even smoother.
