Here is a best practice we managed to identify during our piloting activities:
Theoretical concepts are often difficult to understand, and using only visual aids is not always enough to bring a point across, as it leaves the learners in a passive position. Children respond much better to a satiation where they are able to get their hands on an object and try to interact with it. An example of this approach is working on a unit about renewable energy. While the children were fascinated by the animations and interactive games that explained wind and solar energy, the true effect was achieved then the group moved on to an experiment where the children made small wind turbines and watched them spin in the virtual wind. The teacher was greatly satisfied to see how the children understood the connections and were proud of their small, self-made wind turbines.
You’ll be able to learn about many other best practices in our upcoming Audiovisual implementation report.
