PRESCHOOL ACTIVITIES TO DO AT HOME

1. LOOK FOR LETTERS/NUMBERS

Grab the junk mail and old magazines! Look for each letter of the alphabet or numbers 1-10 or 1-20 and cut them out. Let your kiddo make a collage of letters! Can they spell their name? You can also go on a letter hunt in each room and see how many different ones you can find.

Additionally, this I-spy might be fun to do altogether!

2.

MAKE A NUMBER/LETTER TRACING TRAY

If you don’t want to use a pencil and paper to write or trace letters just yet, you can use a tray covered in salt, cornmeal, rice, or flour. Sand is a non-food option! Kids can use fingers to trace letters through the materials on the tray.

3. BUILD LETTERS/NUMBERS

Use playdough letter mats with more than just playdough! You can use many small items that you already have on hand, including erasers, pompoms, LEGO bricks, stones, coins, and so much more to build letters. You can easily build numbers with loose parts too. 

4. MAKE AN ABC/123 SENSORY BIN

Take letter shapes, scrabble tiles, letter puzzle pieces, etc. and bury them in a sensory bin. You can use any fillers such as rice or sand. Set up a letter wash with warm, soapy water and foam or plastic letters. Alternatively, you can use numbers too.

Distance Learning Idea List for Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten

Distance learning can be very overwhelming because it’s something new for our little learners.   They have traded in a brightly-colored classroom for a computer screen as a platform to interact with their teacher and classmates.  As an educator, there is new technology to learn, and how do you even teach your students over video?  It can be super overwhelming and stressful, I know.  But the worst part is that it looks like this is going to last for the rest of the school year.

First, take a breath; you can do this.  Next, think about what things or activities your students LOVE doing at circle time or small group.  Many of those special activities can be done on a video conference, but it may just look a bit different.   It will be more challenging to keep their attention.  You may be nervous because families are watching too.  Don’t despair; you CAN do this, and it WILL get easier each time for both you and your students.  Check out this post with all FREE distance learning visuals and management tips. 

This post is all about the ACTIVITIES you can do.  Many of them, I’m guessing, you did during your circle time or small group in your real classroom!  Now you can do these on a video conference like Zoom or just make a video of yourself doing a circle time (just imagine the students are answering you back).

Before I tell you the list, please remember to still make a mini-lesson plan, even if you sketch it on a Post-It note.  This will help you make sure you have your materials next to you, so you are well-prepared.  Just like regular teaching, when we plan with intention, it is higher quality instruction for your students when you are prepared!  And teacher friends, you can still use printable games, which are great visuals for our little learners too.

Grab the FREEBIE by entering your email in the box at the bottom of this post. This post contains affiliate links which means I earn a tiny commission when you use my links at no cost to you.

Let’s get to it! I just made the printable images so you can save them to your phone if you would like.

Your lesson plans can be super simple, but please make some plans!  You can even print these four to a page.

review of the Russian market — Education on vc.ru

We tell you how the market for educational VR content for schools works and what educational programs teachers can already use with access to virtual reality helmets.

45 363
views

Based on the analysis of Google search results, we compiled a list of applications and tested them. The main focus is on domestic developments, although we will also talk about some foreign programs.

Artem Ganzha

When it comes to VR in education, it is necessary to draw a clear line between virtual reality education and virtual reality education . In the first case, VR is not an end in itself, it is only an additional tool for teaching a subject, the same as a textbook, interactive whiteboard or mobile application. In the second case, children acquire a new skill in working with technology: they learn 3D modeling, programming, system administration, user interface design, etc. and use platforms such as Unity, Unreal Engine, etc. We are talking about the first type of virtual reality use .

Educational content can be divided into 3 types:

• 360 degree video,

• platforms and platforms,

• interactive programs.

360 video

The simplest thing a teacher can use in a classroom is various 360-degree videos. Such systems interact with virtual reality glasses and convert 2D images and videos into 3D, creating enveloping images. For example, if a geography class talks about Machu Picchu, children can “be” in Peru by wearing a virtual reality helmet. So, ready-made lessons have already been developed using such videos, for example, complete with a set for virtual reality ClassVR. Another example is the My Way VR platform, where you can download about fifty high-quality videos.

It is now increasingly being said that using VR technologies to watch 360-degree videos is not the same as entering a virtual environment, and such videos are not considered full-fledged VR, even despite the immersion effect (immersion) they provide.

Platforms and platforms

A virtual educational environment is created in real time, where participants in the educational process are simultaneously immersed in VR. These can be virtual lectures and workshops on platforms such as Rumii, EngageVR, Anyland, NeosVR, High Fidelity or Bigscreen. Altspace and Vtime platforms provide ample opportunities, for example, for the practice of foreign languages.

The advantage of such platforms is the possibility of interactive and collaborative learning. For example, in an English class, you can have a virtual barbecue with the whole class, discovering a new format for working in groups.

Interactive educational products

This type of educational content is a relatively self-contained and complete development, ready to use in class or as homework. Examples include Apollo 11 VR, The VR Museum of Fine Art, the famous game InMind-2, or the anatomy apps Human Anatomy VR and 3D Organon Anatomy. An interesting development was the Virtual Speech business English online course, which is a hybrid project of a traditional online course and practice in virtual reality.

Different types of content can be combined within one educational platform, as is done in the RedboxVR ready-made set for schools.

By purchasing this set, the user receives a set of devices with access to Google Expeditions, which includes 360 videos, AR content with specially designed lessons, access to the MEL Science program, as well as real-time English lessons on the Rumii platform.

Educational VR products of Russian companies for schools

In the domestic market, a number of companies develop educational VR content. Among them are VR-Professionals, Cerevrum, Zarnitsa, PraxisVR, SIKE, FSA, Yode, VRConcept and others. Their developments are focused on creating business solutions and corporate training.

Here is a list of applications that can be built into the school curriculum in the near future (taking into account the different degree of product readiness).

The mobile application is designed to visualize the spatial 3D representation of molecules of organic and inorganic compounds in a school chemistry course using virtual reality glasses like Google CardBoard.

Students can construct models of molecules with single, double and triple bonds, as well as create models of cyclic compounds. When pointing the camera of a mobile device at a chemical formula printed on a sheet of paper, the student will be able to observe and study the 3D representation of the corresponding molecule in augmented reality. The AR mode in the app is based on the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) approach. Students use their smartphones or tablets in class.

Create

Product: TvoriVfi

With the app, children learn how to create movies, cartoons and animations, developing storytelling, directing and design skills. Despite the bright design of the program and the game form of learning, this application should be considered primarily a tool for work and creativity.

• “The human brain”.

All classes are coordinated with the main school educational program, it is planned to expand programs and deepen content, including programs for preparing for the Unified State Examination.

Terminals

VR applications have become a daily routine in many schools in the US, Canada, Singapore, UAE, and China. Despite the barriers to the entry of VR/AR technologies into Russian educational institutions, interest in new technologies is constantly growing both among teachers and, of course, among the students themselves.

The advantages of using virtual reality in the classroom include the effects of presence and immersion, focusing, interactivity, etc. Despite the fact that many people still associate virtual reality with an expensive toy designed for a wow effect, there is a growing number of studies confirming the educational value methodologically verified VR developments.

A new educational tool: interactive virtual worlds

Learning can be more interesting than movies and computer games, because the students themselves become participants in plots in virtual space. Moreover, there you can “touch” the drawn objects, interact with them. This is a new dimension, the possibilities of which are told by the Skolkovo resident, the Visionero company.

Visionero Company

Blogs

In the fall of 2021, China banned tutoring and additional classes in the school curriculum. The excitement around preparing for graduation and entering the university was so overwhelming that the children worked in an emergency, in 2-3 shifts every day. High competition, first in the educational, then in the labor market, forced the Chinese to give all their best throughout the entire distance. The pressure is felt even by elementary school students, further the requirements grow and reach a peak in decisive exams.

There is no such obsession with education in Russia. But most parents, of course, want their children to have a good start in life. And many high school students themselves understand that you need to push yourself if you want to achieve something worthwhile. Therefore, about 76% of schoolchildren in their senior classes study with tutors. According to statistics, about the same number feel tired.

However, the most diligent cramming no longer guarantees. The Internet has changed not only access to knowledge, but the very paradigm of knowledge. Now there is no need to memorize blocks of information. On the contrary, it is even better not to do this, because in real adult life, any industry is updated in a year or two. The skills of searching for up-to-date information, its verification, and comparison are necessary. Analytical abilities and techniques will not appear even if the student memorizes Wikipedia.

Continuing education is becoming a meta-trend. It solves the problem of rapid obsolescence of data and methods, helps professionals stay at the forefront of their industries, develop companies faster than the market, and earn more on their own. This suits everyone, only it is difficult for adults to overcome the negative attitude to learning, which many develop at school. It is still possible to pass final and entrance exams “through I can’t” – but no one wants to live in stress all the time.

Therefore, engaging and effective ways of teaching children do not just help improve grades or win prizes in school competitions. They lay a fundamentally different foundation, retain children’s curiosity, craving for experiments and discoveries.

Virtual technologies in education

The definition of “virtual reality” is too general and incomplete, a small dictionary is needed here. Distinguish:

• VR (virtual reality) – virtual reality. Volumetric graphic world in which the user can look around, move, move. It’s like a 3D game.
• AR (augmented reality) – augmented reality. The virtual world is placed in the real one. Volumetric pictures complement what we see around. For example, if you look at the street “through a smartphone”, there will be a live broadcast of houses, cars, passers-by on the screen, but arrows, explanations, Pokemon, any graphics will appear on top of them.
• MR (mixed reality) — mixed or hybrid reality. Distinguished by the interaction of real and drawn objects. The user seems to become a full member of the computer game, along with virtual characters. At the same time, it does not go separately on the screen, but imperceptibly intersects with the real world.

The last term in this series that is important specifically for learning is immersive environment . This name was given to the use of MR, as well as other types of virtual reality to involve students in the learning process. The effect is achieved through interactivity, that is, the ability to interact with virtual objects.

The beauty of the solution is that the subject area is almost irrelevant. It could be a chemistry class. Students mix reagents in painted test tubes and flasks, conduct complex experiments without any risk (and at the same time without the cost of a chemistry room with special equipment).

Or, in a history lesson, the class becomes a participant in the battle, sees everything with their own eyes, perhaps even takes part. Instead of a boring paragraph on geography, you can go on a trip, sail the seas, climb mountains. Learn biology along the way by observing animals in their natural habitat. Fly with birds, help them build nests and raise chicks. Listen to the poems of poets in their personal performance, live literary works side by side with the heroes of novels. Even in physical education, golf, beach volleyball in winter, mountain skiing in summer, parachuting, diving, rock climbing are available – everything is breathtakingly similar to the real thing, only it is absolutely safe, you don’t need to go anywhere and buy equipment.

Such lessons are incomparably better remembered, they provide multi-channel deep immersion. And what is especially important is that the guys will not have to be persuaded to work out for another half an hour. After all, this is a show, an attraction with vivid adventures that are even better than computer games. More precisely, it becomes possible to use a game format and virtual interactive graphics to implement a learning scenario.

It should be added that a realistic picture and the ability to take part in a virtual story and interact with drawn objects are only part of the technology. Front-end, in the language of developers. Behind the graphic facade lies the second part, which is also important. The role of the back-end in immersive learning is played by the collection and processing of data.

Searching for talents on a child’s digital footprint

One example of virtual reality learning will be the Visionero multimedia room at the Center for the Development of Gifted Children (GDC) in Kaliningrad, which is scheduled to open on December 1 this year.

ERC has been operating since 2013. It has 120 teachers and 80 educators for thousands of children from 22 physics and mathematics and 15 linguistic schools in the Kaliningrad region. Classes at the Center for the Development of Gifted Children were unusual before. Compulsory lessons in the first half of the day, creative circles, intellectual games, trainings, research, educational projects, communication with guests in the afternoon.

The technology will add virtual reality with feedback to education. The innovative stack of technologies, thanks to which the startup received the status of a Skolkovo resident, includes a network of projectors, cameras, and motion sensors.

Children will receive 3D visualization, and teachers and the learning center will receive useful statistics. Digitization works in both directions. In addition to voluminous scenes and scenery, the system creates “digital twins” for each student. Recording all actions, reactions, misses and successes allows you to qualitatively change the approach to evaluating the effectiveness of training.

This is not so much about the assessment of students, but about the adequacy of the choice of certain training courses, difficulty levels and other lesson settings. In some cases, parents insist on the realization of their ideas about the future of the child, and he might prefer a different direction. If a student is bored, it will show in their digital footprint. With a few simple experiments, you can pick up other training programs that will ignite enthusiasm and help reveal talent.

Every child can become a genius, but not everyone has the opportunity to do it in real life. Virtual reality with digital analytics of the educational process paradoxically becomes closer to real wishes and opportunities than conventional learning formats.

“We do not just show beautiful three-dimensional pictures, this is not a new format of illustrations for old textbooks. Virtual reality allows you to achieve immersion, and interactive includes other mechanisms of cognition. Just like in the real world.

The main thing that immersive rooms provide is the opportunity to try on something new, to try, to touch. It is also much more economical than real objects, completely safe and very easy to scale. Therefore, we are full of optimism about the prospects for a new format of education. We already have the first results, then it’s a matter of technique” – Andrey Lysenko, founder of Visionero

Activity monitoring is provided not only for students, but also for teachers, even for the training courses themselves. Complete objectivity, all indicators are visible in tables and graphs. It is immediately clear what and who works well, where there are problems or difficulties.

Education of the future

It seems that we are on the verge of major changes in education. The first single projects pave the way. Then the technology will be introduced more and more often, and after a while it will become a new standard. Now it’s hard to imagine how we lived without smartphones or computers. Perhaps, in 10 years, the idea of ​​studying without virtual reality will seem strange.

Get a glimpse of the benefits of immersive learning in a 4D cinema. But even there there are no users, only viewers. In some theaters, smells, even tactile sensations, are added to the kinesthetic experience. For example, during a movie show about dolphins, viewers can smell sea water and spray. But passive observation of an arbitrarily realistic cinema loses to interactive involvement.

An immersive scenario allows you not only to watch, but to act. Touch game items, use them. Influence the course of the plot, and at the same time with other participants. Strictly speaking, this is what is more like a real virtual reality.
