A Digital Tool to Unlock Learning
One way to help students gain agency over
their own education is through technology. A free Web-based platform CFY
developed called PowerMyLearning which contains 1,000 (soon to be
2,800) digital learning activities and games from across the Web that have been
carefully selected and categorized by teachers and education specialists.
The program appears to have made a big
difference especially for struggling students. The school reports that the
percentage of last year’s sixth graders with learning disabilities who met or
exceeded standards in math (testing at level 3 or 4) increased by 36 percent,
while the percentage of students who had been below standard (testing at level
1) decreased from 23 percent to zero.

This learning activities will be a big help for the students. Like the Language Arts games, this will improve their vocabulary and at the same time they are learning. Like what my kid did before, when i enrolled him at TalkShop. They have a English drama play. It helped him improve his confidence and also his English communication skills.
