Pourquoi nous faire confiance ?

– Principe 1

Mettre la technologie au service des besoins des enseignants et des apprenants.

– Principe 2

Placer les utilisateurs au centre de la démarche de conception.

– Principe 3

Se baser sur les véritables pratiques en classe pour proposer des innovations.

“The device helps teachers guide their groups. It is comprehensive and addresses real problems with group work such as too many prompts and noise. The tool is motivating for students and teachers. It points to practices and provides reassurance.”

― Sébastien, School teacher

“I liked it because it made us communicate with each other, it forced us to communicate. Because if one [group member] wants to ask [the teacher] for help, he can’t without asking the other [pupils in the group]“

― Marius, 9 y.o.

Expertise
