Nov 30, 2011 · Sandra Okita, an assistant professor of technology and education at Teachers College, reported in 2006 on the use of a teachable agent by high school students learning to engage in deductive reasoning. On a subsequent test of their skills, the students who had observed agents using rules of reasoning to solve a problem “significantly outperformed” students who had only practiced applying ...

Sometimes we overburden children by expecting them to invent a story, plot, characters and dialogue from scratch. By using their real life as fuel, children can focus on the humour and storytelling. You can make a comic book template for them (or download one here), or they can make their own. They can then make a comic showing the peculiar life of...
The following game is a fun and quirky way to generate a story arc. You’ll need at least two people, taking turns. The first person shares a sentence beginning with the word ‘Fortunately’ – their role is to tell a happy, optimistic tale. The next person begins with ‘Unfortunately’, and responds, trying to make the story sad. The playful back and fo...
During this period of social distancing and self-isolation, many older people in our communities and families may be feeling particularly lonely. This project can help to keep children occupied in a meaningful way that benefits others. If you’re a parent, think of relatives or neighbours who may like to take part. If you’re a school, investigate li...
This project can be small or large. On a smaller scale, set up an art session and draw or paint a superhero alter-ego, or write and record part of a film script. On a larger scale, encourage children to live as their superhero alter-ego for a while. What does their costume look like? Do they have any gadgets? Can they create these using junk modell...
It would be remiss of me not to mention one of the simplest and most effective home learning activities: read books, and read them well. If children are lucky enough to have lots of books at home, they can start with any they’ve not read before. Many children’s writers have authorised teachers to read their books in online videos. Pupils will love ...

Link up pupils with each other on an online platform like Google Classroom. Give each child a different topic, ideally covering the breadth of the curriculum. For example, one pupil can research the excavation of the tomb of Tutankhamun, while another researches the significance of the Rosetta Stone for Egyptology. Ask pupils to create a three-minu...
Baking and cooking are good things to be doing in their own right, but if you want to introduce a mathematical element, formalise it a bit so that the maths doesn’t get lost in the process. If you have the recipe for how much of each ingredient is needed to make one cookie, how much of each ingredient will we need to make eight cookies? This can be...
An effective way for children to develop an understanding of money, and of equivalence, is to set up a household ‘swap shop’. Children can find objects that they want to exchange and attribute a value to each item. If one child wants to swap a doll for a value of £3, what could he afford to swap it for from his sister’s shop? If pupils have access ...
Shadow theatre originated thousands of years ago in China and Indonesia. As a form of ancient storytelling, it is worthy of study in its own right, as well as being a rich way to develop children’s skills in design and performance. Children can create their own stories, props and characters from scratch, or create their own reimaginings of classic ...
3. Both the mentor and the protégé gain from the mentoring experience. 4. Mentorship activities, structures and programs can vary widely, from mentor–protégé pairs to teams of mentors. 5. Good teachers do not necessarily make good mentors. A different set of skills is needed to work effectively with adult learners. 6.

To learn more about the studies cited in the video, check out the links below.
