Teaching Innovation
KUBBU
I
have created an alternative way of learning in the classroom through using an
online website that allows students to work, play, and learn. This is not a typical sit in the classroom
and listen to the teacher talk while you take notes kind of learning, this is a
hands on, game style, progress tracking way of learning. Find it http://www.kubbu.com/teacher/
How it would be used…
I
have set up a KUBBU account for what I would use for a 4th grade
class. I would use this site for the
subject of History. The students and I
would change up the typical class day and leave to work in a computer lab for
this subject. The students can then work
independently or in groups while on this site.
This site includes…
-Individual
student accounts
-Collaborative
learning tools
-Progress
reports
-Activities
in game form
-Instructions
for each activity
-Communication
through email
-Social
networking
-Analysis tools
-Games
-Mobile
technology
-Files where
documents can be shown to help them
-Due dates
-Time limits
-Help
Why I enjoy this site…
It is a unique
way of learning because it challenges and motivates students through
games. It uses their working memory and
allows many graphics. Most importantly it
is very accessible for teachers to get on and track the progress of their
students, every thing the students do can be monitored. It gives the students a fun way to learn by
playing games and interacting with their classmates. One of the greatest things about this site is
that it can be something the kids work on at home. The kids can use this for study material and
extra help.
