| We-Learn project: Motivational benefits for pupils | |
 | |
| The way in which the teacher toolkits are being used by teachers is having a big impact on pupils in primary and secondary schools. | |
| |
| Primary pupils are more engaged with their learning, with the Tablet PC allowing all in a class to become involved – the interactive content used makes learning appear to be more fun. | |
| |
| The teacher toolkit allows pupils to demonstrate their achievements. This has increased pupil self-esteem and confidence and is encouraging them to be constructive in giving peer feedback. | |
| |
| Improving home-school links | |
| |
| The We-learn portal is already improving the home-school links for secondary pupils. Pupils are saving their homework to the portal, accessing it at home on their home computers and, in many cases, involving parents or siblings in their homework activities online. | |
| |
 |
A key benefit of the project has been the motivational impact, an increase in concentration levels and improved results for boys. The teacher toolkit, used with interactive software, appeals to the kinaesthetic learners and has allowed explanation and experience of concepts which would otherwise have been very difficult. This has resulted in boys remaining on tasks longer. |
