Sneak Peek: The NEW WorksheetCloud in 2020

Written by Adrian Marnewick

Here’s a preview of the ULTRA AWESOME WorksheetCloud coming in 2020 …

(Quick sidenote: we’re currently giving away 6 MONTHS FREE on all annual WorksheetCloud memberships! This means if you sign up today your child will get to use the current version and then the NEW version as soon as it is launched at no extra cost!)

2019 has been one of the best years we’ve ever had at WorksheetCloud.

It was just a few years ago in 2016 that I proudly proclaimed “we have 36,000 parents receiving our free weekly email and 62,000 followers on Facebook” in my end-of-year report. Now in 2019, our user base has grown exponentially, we have over 100,000 parents receiving our email newsletter, and over 120,000 parents following our content on Facebook.

And now we receive ravingly-positive customer reviews on a daily basis. Sometimes even on an hourly basis.

We have learners using WorksheetCloud in every corner of South Africa, from Joburg to Hotazel (hot-as-hell) – yes, that’s really a place in the Northern Cape. We even have learners joining us from Namibia and other neighbouring countries.

I’m proud of the business we’ve built, the app we’ve designed, and the fact that we’re helping children across Africa do better in their exams.

But 2020 is going to be the year where we smash all previous records. If the brand new WorksheetCloud (sneak peek below) doesn’t get your child excited for school, then nothing will.

We’ve been hard at work this year developing the new WorksheetCloud with one goal in mind: to get your child hooked on learning and studying.

And so I present to you a few behind-the-scenes screenshots of WorksheetCloud 2020 …

Introducing Study Notes – or cheat-sheets as we like to call them! ?

Your child will be able to do some brushing up on various topics BEFORE answering questions or practice exams in WorksheetCloud. Our new Study Notes are designed to give your child essential information along with hints and tips.

Pick a sidekick to help you learn!

Like studying with a buddy? Well, now you can. Introducing Sidekicks. They’ll help guide you and prompt you to work harder.

Level up and rank up on the NEW Leaderboard

It no longer matters if your child is an A+ candidate or struggling with lower marks, because we’ve designed the NEW WorksheetCloud Leaderboard to motivate and encourage every child, no matter their academic ability.

Tired of collecting coins for absolutely no reason whatsoever?

Yip, we’re launching a virtual shop soon! And we’re asking learners what they want to buy.

Audio and sound to improve listening skills

Is your child struggling to LISTEN? Now you can tackle that problem by using our brand new Listening Comprehensions with recorded audio tracks.

Totally new design, easy on the eyes

Let’s face it, the existing WorksheetCloud looks like it was designed in the 20’s. And we mean the 1920’s. The new WorksheetCloud? Well it ain’t boring no more …

But wait, there’s more!

Yip, there is even more. But we’re not going to let the entire cat out of the bag just yet. We’ll be posting another blog soon to reveal more.

As you can see, 2020 is going to be a bumper year. So if you haven’t signed up to WorksheetCloud yet, now’s your chance to get on the bandwagon. Click here to sign up now.

Note: Not all of these features will be available for all grades and subjects immediately. We’ll be introducing them over a period of a few months based on customer demand.

I’d love to hear what you think about the new WorksheetCloud! Please post your comments and questions below …

          Hey, thanks for reaching out to us! 😁

          We unfortunately do not cater for Term 1 exams as majority of schools in South Africa only start writing their exams from Term 2.

          However, you do have access to all of our worksheets covered in Term 1 under the “Learn” tab in your Learner Account.

          These worksheets have all been designed to help you revise and study for your class tests and exams at school.

    Hi Adrian…I have children at Primary and High School and I’ve often found that worksheets and question papers are limited unless in the FET phase. I have found Worksheet cloud useful but limiting as it does not cover all the curriculum subjects, hence my hesitation in signing up. I would certainly find it more relevant if all subjects could be covered, not just from the practice exam papers, but the weekly revision notes. It would assist the learners in being more independent with their studies. It would allow the parents more time to discuss their childs thinking in answering the questions. Hope it helps Kind regards

    Reply
    • Adrian Marnewick

      Thanks for your reply Toufeca! I’m passing your comment on to our Curriculum Team. We cover the major subjects from Grades 1 to 9, and Mathematics from Grades 10 to 12. We’re always willing to hear what extra subjects our customers would like added.

      Our aim is to reduce the amount of time parents need to spend helping their children with test and exam preparation. So I believe that our new Study Notes feature will be highly beneficial.

      🙂

        I’m hoping that the new look and features will be great. Worksheet cloud has helped my son over the two years to improve his results however I find it tiresome to print out all the worksheets and memos. The online I felt is too little questions hence me preferring the printables. So I’m hoping that 2020 will be much better in motivating him to complete the tasks. Thanks

        • Adrian Marnewick

          Thanks for your feedback Fatima!

          Little known fact: our online worksheets contain the same number of questions as the printable worksheets, however we only deliver 6 questions at a time in the online worksheets.

          We will give parents the option of changing this in the future, in case you find 6 questions at a time to be too little (as you mentioned above).

          I’m really happy to hear you’ve found WorksheetCloud to be beneficial over the past 2 years!

    love the audio and that the collecting of coins will mean something now- my daughter will be impressed
    please consider giving the answer to the Afrikaans questions in English as if she got something wrong she doesn’t understand the explanation so she ends up not doing Afrikaans at all and that is the main reason we signed up

      Hi Lineke! Thanks so much for your comment! The new WorksheetCloud will hopefully be ready by the start of the 2nd term. I’m looking forward to hear what your kids think when WorksheetCloud 2020 goes live!

      With regards to adding additional languages, our content team is currently looking at adding additional subjects like this. We do our utmost best to provide you with the highest quality worksheets, which takes a tremendous amount of time. All new subjects and content we add are automatically included in your WorksheetCloud subscription at no extra cost. Keep a look out for our weekly newsletters where you will be notified if any new subjects are added to your subscription.

    Will there be an extra cost for the new worksheet cloud if one took the special you had last year where you paid for 2 years in advance.

    Im looking forward to the new launch of worksheet cloud. Maybe it will encourage my daughter to show more interest in her work.

    She goes onto worksheet cloud and gets excited when she gets 100% and moves up on the world of fame, but when it comes to her report/test results she gets 48 -50 %.

    So I am really hoping that the new launch will encourage her more.

      Hi June! Thanks so much for the comment! The new WorksheetCloud is completely free for our paying subscribers, so you won’t need to worry about paying for the new and updated version.

    The new content looks good, especially the use of coins to buy something.

    My son is currently in grade 3 and they are doing in English and Afrikaans revision of the grade 2 phonics / klanke. The items on Worksheet Cloud is for the new work in Grade 3 and I would like it if there was a revision section for the previous year’s work (especially the phonics and klanke as it is the building blocks for any further work)

      Hi Zelda! Thanks for your comment!

      This is actually something that the team are looking into adding in the near future, whereby your child will be able to access specific revision worksheets or notes from the previous grade. I have passed this onto our Curriculum team, please let me know if you have any more great suggestions or ideas on how we can make WorksheetCloud an awesome experience for you and your child?

    Sounds amazing and looking forward to it. Think it will make learning and using worksheet cloud even better. I love the concept of videos. Would like to make a suggestion especially with Maths. I think videos will help in terms of illustrating the method application when it comes to addition, subtraction, multiplication and Division, even BODMAS, etc. Love the idea that were will be study notes, that for me is a winner 🙂

    Wow Ross WOW!!!, we cannot wait for the new release, my little one just loves the rewards coins, wait until I tell her about the SHOP. She will be over the moon. I must say that WorksheetCloud helped her a lot since we subscribe late last year and we are already beginning to see positive results in her daily work and feedback from her teachers. The best day towards school education was when my friend introduced us to WorksheetCloud

    We are now hooked rod, line and sinkers.

    Well done with your great work. We hope you will go from strength to strength and take us with you all the way.
