At BETT 2012, Education Secretary Michael Gove delivered a keynote speech in which he discussed many aspects of education, from the state of the ICT curriculum through to brain-computer interfaces. One area of discussion which surprised many was the importance Gove placed on games based learning, explaining how an ongoing pilot study into games based learning in schools by Stanford University had generated “some of the most successful (results) ever seen”.
i-education will be showcasing their highly-acclaimed games based homework and revision system, I am Learning, at BETT 2012, as well as unveiling an exciting development.
Games-based learning system, I am Learning is known to many as an exciting and engaging way to help pupils revise for exams, however primary and secondary schools across the UK are realising its benefits as an ongoing assessment and homework setting tool.
A constant challenge for all schools is the support of children’s educational achievements. With a large percentage of schools considered to be underachieving, there is a growing necessity to support 21st century learners with the appropriate tools to enable them to realise their potential and maximise their opportunities to achieve. Even in high-attaining schools there are some students underachieving – often from disadvantaged backgrounds – and reaching out to those students is essential to continuously promote excellence for all.
