Enhanced learning in the classroom – Game to Learn

In a time of sweeping school budget cuts, dozens of local teachers have begun to look outside the school system to improve classroom needs. E-Learning and Gamification is an excellent way to enhance the classroom experience whilst being reactive to learners needs and saving money. 

E-learning provides an educational environment which is easy to keep up to date with and can be delivered in a quick and efficient manner.

Throughout the development, planning and trialing of Game to Learn, an online learning platform for primary schools, it has been proven that online learning offers a range of benefits in a fast-paced working environment, and that the virtual classroom can provide a useful resource to access information quickly and at the point of need.

The speed at which e-learning learning content can be created and delivered to multiple users allows for schools to deliver enhanced learning in a much shorter period compared to the time it would take to deliver in a more traditional manner. This has been one of the greatest drivers in the adoption of e-learning.

The purchase of laptops, computers and tablets are becoming more and more common for families who like to learn on the go and who like to use gaming and simulation videos to enhance learning.

Game to Learn is the new generation of e-learning using gaming, simulation and video, as well as animation, has allowed for more complex issues to be explored in a fun and interactive way.

Game to Learn: How it is going to change classroom learning.

Game to Learn is a Classroom Learning and Homework management system for primary schools, and is due to launch in 2012.

Game to Learn has matured from the prototype system KeyStageTwo.com which was developed in 2010. KeyStageTwo.com was trailed in just under 40 schools throughout Northern Ireland and has recently been installed in schools throughout England. We have been working hard to implement the feedback from Schools into making sure our new site best meets the needs of teachers and pupils.

The new Game to Learn site will be integrated with the School Information Management System (SIMS) enabling teachers to manage pupil information much more effectively and we are developing more games and “worlds” for pupils to play.

Key Features of the new Game to Learn site:

- Fully compatible with the UK National Curriculum.

-Tens of Thousands of questions covering all aspects of the National Curriculum

- Integration with School Information Management System (SIMS)

- Detailed analytics

- More fun and exciting games such as City World and Giddy Up!

Game to Learn: Learning Should Always Be Fun!

Although the system will not be fully operational until 2012 you can still view the website for more information in the meantime, Game to Learn.Net.
