How to combine school and war

"Today, such stories, unfortunately, is not uncommon. By sending children to school every day, parents feel fear: and suddenly they will bomb nearby? Will the child go to school at all during the war? Can be transferred to school? Her online teaching? Elena decided to do so and began to look for the only one that will work among the many online school At first the eyes are scattered: cool sites, everything is described well . . .

And then you call, ask and emerge "pitfalls"-then the price stated on the site is not true, then the promised English Spiking-Clabourner after the fact passes only once a month, then something else. You feel like a supermarket where you sell a cat in a bag "-Elena recalls her first impression. Since the topic is relevant to our readers, we, together with Elena, decided to make" Raid on online schools "and see what they offer. Unfortunately.

Most schools at the level of conversations with the manager have not fit our request. "Some actively persuade them to conclude a contract with them for the first time you call them, while others are guided by a regular school program, and there English only as studying for ordinary textbooks, us It's not suitable. In the third school, most lessons are in the record in the form of monotonous lectures - noticed Elena.

- Anya and in the ordinary school was not too diligent, and with this approach she will kill at all to study. "We asked Anya herself, which the girl wants from the perfect school. " I want to play! " , she said, "Come on!". School-a school with just such a headline. How is the school-game? We decided to go to their site and understand how it is possible.

From what we saw we were really shocked! Unicorn School was a real revolution in the field of online learning! Children's Secondary School with all the necessary subjects under the Ministry of Education Program is built in the format of computer online game. "Everything, Anya, you wanted to play! So now we find out what the rules of the game. "A whole 3D-world with locks, forests, charming cards of knowledge that a student needs to be discovered in the learning process.

" We do not have evaluations, "we have no"-"we share the manager. " They help to discover the next level of knowledge and "pump their avatar". Elena and I did not quite understand the avatar, but Anya immediately delight! It turns out at Unicorn School, every student creates a "computer version of himself"-a kind of digital-Ana, who can choose gender, clothes and make it as similar as possible.

And then this "student avatar" who will study at the school-computer game, you can "buy" there cool equipment and do different tuning for magical crystals obtained by the student instead of assessments. All this looks very interesting, we wanted to play ourselves. The lessons themselves are also decorated in a game style: with 3D visualization of each subject.

It is especially interesting to look at the visualization of the exact sciences: in the lesson they tell about the structure of the cell - and we immediately see a video of this process under a microscope, tell the topic of geography - and we are already traveling about the country about the core of the earth, or flying in the center Clouds and look what are the layers of the atmosphere… But when the first euphoria from what was seen as you slept, we decided to look more virtually this amazing school.

Game games, and the child should bring the main thing - knowledge. But carefully reading the Unicorn School program, we were again pleasantly surprised: in the gamified form and modern "chips" for children there were a thorough knowledge and a very deep approach to learning. Unicorn School pays great attention to the preparation of the child for STA and EIT.

And in general, after each lesson, there are test tasks: the child has to take a test, write a short work, answer questions in the form of a video report on a webcam, etc. This gives the child the opportunity to consolidate the knowledge gained, not just listen to everything in a regular school where "in one ear flew, another flew. " Here is a more cunning system: learning is built as equal in a computer game. Until you pass one level of knowledge - you will not move to the next.

That is, you will be certain - the child really learned the material of the lesson, otherwise the program will simply not miss the student further. There is another plus in this approach - there is no homework at the Unicorn School School. Why, if there are test tests after each lesson? This saves a lot of time for children at a hobby and rest! Even with technical chips we liked the Mystat electronic diary-a dynamic online statistics of a child's success, which is available to parents 24/7.

Here the child will not be able to "forget the diary at home", and at the end of the year suddenly will not be amazed that the child has problems with some subject - all information about the success and failure of the child is always before your eyes. The progressive approach to learning has also fun: there are many modern subjects at school instead of outdated ones.

Here, instead of typical drawing of work or music, children are taught: Game Art, 3D modeling, the basics of HTML… These digital fogs will definitely need a child in her future career. Anya was delighted with the Gray School, and only seeing the site already asked her to record it there.

But Elena and our "Online Ride" worried one more: what about communicating with people? Isn't it difficult for a child to sit on a computer under a game avatar all day? But, asking the school manager in more detail, we came to the conclusion that socialization in Unicorn School is, and even larger than other online schools.

All teachers conduct live lessons with students, and since the number of students in an online class is small, each student can always talk to the teacher and ask any question. Agree, even in a regular school it is not always the case. Also, every student here receives feedback on their work and successes, all teachers are open modern people, which is always "on one wave" with children and each teacher can be written separately in personal messages.

The school also has a common chat, where children communicate with each other in correspondence and video mode, create teams, compete for victory in different activities, and simply friends. In addition, if one of the baby's online class lives in your city-children can always "be silent" and if you want to make friends in an offline.

Unicorn School is generally cultivated by friendship and an adequate approach: this school is complete lack of bullying and round-the-clock support for the child with a curator, and even an online psychologist is if necessary. Also, everything is built for the convenience of training - there is no typical schedule of lessons and calls: the training schedule is personalized so that the child can sleep, if it is difficult to get up early in the morning, or to do other urgent cases.

You can learn from anywhere in the world and choose objects and their number at will. This is very important for Ani, because she has already decided that she wanted to be a journalist as a mother and plans to delve into literature and study languages, and to study other subjects at the level necessary for the EIT and not to clog her brain with unnecessary information.
