Digital and playful learning tools for daily use in primary school
Challenge
Primary school students need to practice independently a lot to master the material. It is our job to make that as enjoyable and effective as possible on iPads.
Teachers want to be able to give clear explanations and instructions on a smartboard and have an overview of all students' progress and development during practice.
And it's nice if the smartboards and tablets available in the classroom can also be used occasionally to create a fun atmosphere. For example, to relax and have fun after taking a test!
Solution
Students understand that they need to put in effort and complete many exercises. It's not necessary to develop everything as a game. More importantly, it should be made as user-friendly and enjoyable as possible. Therefore, the choice was made to make the exercises pleasant and functional, offering fun short reward games in between.
The software is self-directed and intelligent. The teacher easily sets up the learning materials in the weekly plan and can easily track results. The student can then work independently with it. Automatic levels are offered based on the subject, and students receive specific feedback. For example, in "Taal Actief," an error detection system not only checks if a student spells a word correctly or incorrectly but also identifies the type of mistake made.
The "Digibordrace" is a great example of creating a festive atmosphere. The game is played in teams using a smartboard as a conclusion to a lesson theme. The game playfully reinforces the lesson content, motivating students to continue engaging with the material and giving them something to strive towards.
By playing "Tafelmonsters" kids learn math by feeding hungry monsters.
Impact
Various teaching methods have been translated into playful digital tools used daily in schools. Almost every child in the Netherlands has worked with our products at some point! Our collaboration has resulted in efficient products with plenty of room for creativity and innovation.
