How DIGme helps children with reading and writing skills
DIGme is a digital tool that enables children in the age of 5-12 years old to learn how to read and write by combining the latest pedagogy and didactics with technology and activity. Coding, gamification and social interaction will stimulate motivation when completing individual adapted tasks.
This edutainment is intended to be both educational and enjoyable, and as an educational tool DIGme has shown to improve both mental and physical health.
The four C’s in the DIGme product
Critical thinking: the practice of solving problems, among other qualities.
Creativity: the practice of thinking outside the box.
Collaboration: the practice of working together to achieve a common goal.
Communication: the practice of conveying ideas quickly and clearly.
Today, children use a variety of digital devices for multiple purposes. One consequence is a more passive lifestyle.
Maj- Elin explains: – We already know that five of our senses are connected to movement and that we learn by using all five of them. According to research, a lack of language comprehension can lead to significant difficulties when it comes to a person’s ability to orientate in our new digitalized society. We need to be educated and taught in new ways in order to be able to manage our everyday life. Our approach to this challenge is Learning by Playing.
Learning by Playing and the DIGme product supports the OECDs policies for The Future of Education and Skills 2030.
The DIGme team believes that language comprehension is a door opener to all kinds of learning, both professionally and socially.
