Teacher Testimonials

"Zippeddy is fantastic for kids because the points based system is structured so that varying types of physical activity earns you different points. For teachers it’s a wonderful resource because the USB facility allows children’s results to be uploaded and can be used for follow on activities in the classroom."

 "The bright, funky and appealing Zippeddy is a winner with kids. Not only does it motivate children to be more physically active, which is so important for children today, but the reward system and website access allows them to celebrate and share their successes with others."

Joanna Putrino - St. Gerard's Primary School, Victoria, Australia.

“The children in my class were highly motivated and excited to be participating in the Zippeddy trial. Comparing the data that was collected with one another and learning how to use and read the computer software was a highlight for each child. They loved the fact that they could see progression on the device as they put in more effort and increased their movement rate.”

Robyn Boyd - Silverton Primary School, Victoria, Australia.

Expert Testimonials

"The Zippeddy product is an innovative concept that intersects exceedingly well with current Victoria's initiatives to educate children about and promote engagement in healthy living.  Physical activity is a cornerstone of much of the public health initiatives in Victoria associated with the prevention of disease and the promotion of health.  The Zippeddy product provides a unique approach toward engaging children in physical activity that is built on a sound understanding of what children enjoy doing and hence is more likely to be successful."
