How it works
In Groups: Children work together in groups sitting at a table with the SUPERMINDS Panel (Blocks and Bricks) connected to a Language Lab. Responding to stimuli and questions presented on the computer screen, students place the Blocks/Bricks on the SUPERMINDS touch-sensitive panel. Exciting pictures, music, animation and games stimulate cooperative interaction and make learning a concrete social experience under the supervision of experienced and trained teachers/instructors.
Individually: Children work individually under the supervision and guidance of the teacher following carefully prepared syllabi and lesson plans.
Children work with I-Pads, Blocks, Talking Pens and video recorders, LEGO, Bricks, Board Games and Puzzles to reinforce and accommodate the structures, lexis, values, skills and mood learned during the lesson.
