Session description

A fifth grader can be expected to teach something to a kindergarten student, but can a six-year-old show a twelve-year-old something new? In a collaborative world it is possible, in this case working with the CoSpaces Edu app.

Purpose & objective

As a project in which sixth grade girls collaborate with preschoolers, bonds are created that would be difficult to achieve with an adult, recognizing that teaching is not only linear from big to small, but that six-year-olds have many things that twelve-year-olds can learn from them.

They will learn to use technology and program an app to bring the world of books and stories to life.

The purpose of this project is to create virtual worlds of their favorite stories, giving spectators a glimpse of their imagination by “stepping into the book”.

Students will understand that they are able to create different realities through technology, while learning new and different technologies, apps, and coding.

They will also see the advantages and importance of teamwork and what we can learn from others, regardless the age.

Among children, an environment is created where they themselves are responsible for their learning, they get to communicate with adults as well as with their peers to create an immersive experience of the different stories we know.

The teacher will share her innovative practices during her everyday lessons. As well as the process of the project, the ups and downs, what worked out and what didn´t, and what changes were necessary for this to be a success.
