The world of education is transforming and it seems that going to class is no longer the only way to learn things. Also in the classrooms students do not learn at the same pace, teachers are performing multiple functions and parents demand results from the center, teachers and children. Among all the initiatives that are being developed, and that we are counting on Peques and Más (below are several links), Salman Khan Academy is the one that seems to be positioning very well although I think there is a risk that the content is unstructured It seems that the teacher is not able to generate their own content and it also does not seem easy for parents to know what they do or how their children progress.
That's why I liked it a lot Blinklearning, a platform that has just started in Spain and has offices in Europe and Latin America. It is designed so that schools can use all the editorial content that is defined, also that teachers can generate their content and publish it and that students access the content through any support with an Internet connection. Finally, parents can track the evolution and progress of the child. In the video you can see some examples of how Blinklearning works.
Blinklearning allows the content creation adapted to the needs of different student groups. They have also made the courses highly interactive and offer not only content but also exercises, videos, audio and images to learn in a fun way. The goal is that all children can learn in a way adapted to their needs and pace of learning, and it is that with the Internet it is possible to ensure that no child is the last in the class.
It is also very interesting that teachers can complement and create interactive content adjusted to the needs and learning rhythms of the students. In addition, on their website they are looking for teachers to create content.
And finally, and in the same way that Smartick manages communications with parents, on this platform it is possible to perform the student progress tracking anticipating areas of lack or additional reinforcement of the child. It also allows, of course, that the teacher be able to monitor the educational process of each student and that way with Blinklearning there is permanent communication between the parents and the teacher.
Blinklearning is founded by Joao Marqués and Gonzalo Baranda and from Peques and Más we invite you to come and tell us more details about the project because it tries to solve many of the limitations of learning using the Internet and it seems to me that it can be a good platform to train students at school and at home.
