Kids using technology to improve their education - By KeyStageTwo.com
Have you ever seen a 5-year-old kid play with an iPhone and navigate round all the applications? If you have you will know it is astonishing! Little ones take to the iPhone’s multi-touch user interface like they do with cars, dolls and toys. They instinctively know that the iPhone is a toy, and they pester their parents into letting them play with it.
Every time I arrive at my sister’s house, it is a race for my niece and nephew to run out and beg me for my IPhone. When I sit them up on the sofa (they know the rules!) and hand it over they immediately know what to do, unlock it using the passcode that they never forget, and know all too well the apps they want to play with.
The role of computer technology in the lives of children may be an underappreciated cultural phenomenon.
All of a sudden, technology became a universally understood part of children’s culture. And hundreds of companies have responded by creating child-specific apps, and KeyStageTwo.com have successfully managed to strike that balance between linking fun and games with online education.
Do you want to include National Curriculum compliant education into your child’s fun learning? KeyStageTwo.com is currently working with 35 schools across the British Isles to offer cost reducing benefits to schools across the Uk, and is in talks with various government agencies to have the system installed on a national level within the UK.
Key Stage Two is an affordable education system which integrates education with entertainment by linking education with fun online games which test the child while they learn. We have recorded great results with children spending on average 40 minutes per evening on the system, doing homework and usually additional tests, hence improving the acuity and performance of even the most hard to reach pupil.
The system has identified the following benefits to schools:
-Overall School Cost Reduction due to less homework needing printed it saves money
-Very low price means it is affordable for all schools as well as home tutors
-Teacher Time Reduction due to the reduced amount of marking
-Non Discriminatory, offering facilities to aid children who do not have home computers
