Hello everyone,
Before I begin, you will notice a large update to your account and subscription. If you spot any issues with the organisation you have been linked to, or any issues in general, please contact me to make any changes.
I have been busy working away making some improvements to my back end systems to support some new class management features.
As part of that I have now released an update which changes subscriptions away from being for each ‘teacher’ as an individual, and now grouping all teachers inside one organisation.
You will see some big changes in your profile now which includes the ability to manage your account and if you have been set as the ‘manager’ of the organisation you are associated with, the ability to add/remove members as well as allocate student accounts within your organisations limit.
This now means that you no longer need to email me or get in touch to add more people from your school/organisation. If you have the capacity in your subscription you can add them yourself.
The Manager…
Each organisation has a single user allocated as the manager. In the case where there is only one member, they are the manager.
The manager can be changed to another user in that organisation by the manager! So if you notice the wrong person has been allocated then simply select change manager and select the person you want to take that role.
Managers are the only users who can: Invite others to join, remove members from the organisation, update the allocation of students for each teacher (depending on number available), and also who can place an order for the subscription itself.
Please contact me if you notice any issues or want something changing/updating.
Subscriptions now online
Subscriptions are now available to purchase. I hope that I have managed to make these affordable for everyone and that you will help support me continuing to develop the site through your subscription. I have a lot of additions planned and don’t intend to stop developing! I will update what will come next in a separate post.
Beta Test Members and Early Subscribers Extra Offer!
If you are currently subscribed from the trial, you will notice that your subscription will run for another 2 months! You do not have anything to pay until 1st May at which point the trial will end and the site will officially go live.
This means that if you are currently using it for your GCSE classes, you will be able to continue to use the site for FREE right up until just before the exam. If you do not wish to continue using the site passed that then I hope this will mean you can support your GCSE students until the exam.
However, if you do wish to subscribe, I’ve decided to give a small reduction in the price AND any subscription purchased before 1st May will be extended to end at the end of the school year 2026 (20th July 2026)!
This will make sure that your subscription start and end dates will align with each school year, if you choose to continue.
If you want to look at the available plans then they are now on the site.
Trial Memberships (aka where has the beta signup gone!)
I am trying to keep my paperwork to a minimum 🙂 however I do plan to officially offer trial memberships to verified teachers. I have now ended the beta sign up requests (sorry if you applied and didn’t get one).
Once things are settled I will put something more official out about this but if you are reading this and want to ask for a trial, then please use the contact button on the about page and send me a request that way for now. Trials will only be offered to teachers who can verify their school/organisation so please make sure to use your school email address and include details of where you can be confirmed as a teacher on the organisations website.
Finally…thank you again
I just wanted to also say thank you for all your support over the 18 months. Especially to those of you who have offered additional help and support along the way. It has been amazing to me watching how students have enjoyed using GoCodeIt and the many wonderful suggestions and comments I have received from everyone along the way.
So much more to come, I am only limited by time I guess……
