You can now comment on GCSE topics. We had commenting enabled before; however, it was not fully integrated. Meaning you would have needed to create a separate account to comment. It wasn't ideal - and we knew it. 😔

Anyway, the good news is that you can now comment, ask questions and get involved in conversations on the topic page using your existing login details. So, now it's native and fully integrated - and we love it. 😍

The comments section will always be at the bottom of the page. However, you will need to log in to comment. Here is a brief video showing how to post comments on topics.



The importance of discussion

Commenting and discussing topics are crucial for school students because they help to develop critical thinking skills, improve communication and collaboration skills, and encourage a deeper understanding of complex ideas.

When students are encouraged to comment and discuss topics, they are required to analyse and evaluate information critically. This process of critical thinking enables students to develop their problem-solving skills and learn how to make informed decisions. In the long run, this helps them become more independent thinkers and learners, an essential skill in the modern world.

Commenting and discussing topics also help students to improve their communication and collaboration skills. By participating in group discussions, students learn how to express their ideas clearly and listen to others' perspectives. In addition, this practice helps them to develop their verbal communication skills, which are essential for success in academic and professional settings.

Moreover, working with others on group projects encourages students to collaborate and work towards a common goal. Therefore, this skill is invaluable as it helps to develop teamwork, leadership, and conflict resolution skills.

Lastly, commenting and discussing topics encourage students to develop a deeper understanding of complex ideas. By discussing and commenting on an issue, students can gain insights and perspectives from their peers, enhancing their knowledge. Additionally, hearing other views can challenge their assumptions and encourage them to think critically about the topic, which helps them to develop a more nuanced understanding of complex issues.

These skills are essential for success in academic and professional settings, so students must be encouraged to engage in these activities regularly. By doing so, students will be more successful learners and more successful individuals in the future.
