Wipe out the academic differences with digital games that teach, entertain, and engage your students. Encouraging physical activity is an important bonus!
There is no subject or topic you cannot take with you outside of the classroom, with the Wittario app in your pocket. To show how easy it is to make games that your students find fun, educational and interesting, we have set up three example games that you can test with the students right away.
With Wittario, only your imagination sets the limits when it comes to what kind of game you can make. With several different ways to get answers, based on what kind of questions you ask, you can create simple quizzes, in-depth tests, and maybe even other types of games to find out how your students are doing.
With AR and multiple-choice questions, players can choose an answer from different options, while those with free text, photo, and video forces the player to think more, and give the answers themselves. The fact that the students can formulate the answers themselves means that you can use Wittario as a tool not only at school, but also after school. Namely when it comes to homework.
Homework should be used to repeat and reinforce the learning done at school, and here Wittario is an invaluable tool. Homework is an incredibly effective way to connect home and school more, and in these times this is extra important. With Wittario, teachers can easily share games and assignments with students digitally.
With the flexibility Wittario offers, there are few excuses that hold true if a game is not completed. There are two different types of games: geographical games and distance games. With geographic games, students can walk a predetermined route that you have created using a map. This works very well when the students are physically together.
However, this is not always a possibility these days, and this is where distance games comes in. With distance games, students can play anytime, anywhere. All they need is an outdoor area and access to a mobile network; this is about distance and not geography. Based on the length set in the game, students must walk a certain distance between each question. It can be 25 meters, 50, 100 or more, you as the gamemaster decides the distance.
The game deals with the science subject and is well suited for outdoor school together with several other subjects.
The purpose is to shed light on some topics that you can carry in your school bag.
