Game-Based learning for us!

Game-based learning is the learning through games and it is an exciting proposition for the educators that are interested to placing their pupils in the center of their own learning and to boosts their motivation for learning.

Our pupils are active learners who thrive during the learning with games. To accomplish this, we utilize arts-integrated lessons, technology infusion, cooperative learning, inquiry-based instruction, and problem-based learning to drive student exploration.

Classroom equipment

Over the past few years, the video projector has become an essential and indispensable tool for our daily teaching in our classrooms.

Some classes are even equipped with a TBI (Interactive Whiteboard), or wireless keyboard and mouse (to allow students to be even more "actors"), but all the classes in our school have at least one simple video projector. Some teachers also use a viewer.

Ecole Charcot- Ouistreham-France ITC in national education programmes

The use of digital technology is part of the national education programmes in France. It has an important place in our practices in three areas of our programs: Languages for thinking and communicating Methods and tools for learning .

Training of the person and the citizen

Software, applications, sites used to prepare the class:

Three areas stand out: - The use of "institutional" National Education sites. (for example: https://www.reseau-canope.fr/) - The use of general, "general public" sites. (https://www.google.fr/intl/fr/earth/) - The use of sites created by teachers (blogs). (http://lutinbazar.fr/)

These different sites make it possible in all the subjects taught to find or build: - Programming and progress by field of study.

- Preparation sheets.

- Exercises.

- Evaluations.

- Teaching material.

- Videos, photos, maps...

- Specialized documentation. https://www.geoportail.gouv.fr/carte

Software, applications, sites used by students: Most of the time, our students use the same sites as our teachers.

However, they also have access to sites that are specially dedicated to them.

All the subjects taught in primary school are covered by these different sites (French, mathematics, history, geography, science, English, moral and civic education, etc.).

Students use these sites individually, in small groups of 2, 3 or 4 or collectively (class group).

These sites have several objectives such as remediation, learning, memorization, creation, training.....
