To help you introduce your pupils to Rockerbox and encourage them to explore it on their own, there are several useful articles available. These articles provide excellent guidance on the best methods to employ.
We do everything we can to help you and your pupils get off to a great start on your Rockerbox News journey. We want them to develop confidence and feel empowered from the moment they first sign in.

This interactive activity is designed to encourage students to explore the platform independently and find articles and topics that engage and inspire.
