But how can parents and teachers do the same? In this blog, we share how we test our learning content with children—and how you can use these insights to support your own children at home or in the classroom.
Why cooperation with children is important:
Imagine a group of 5-year-olds enthusiastically exploring the EDURINO world—with our ergonomic pen in hand, engrossed in their favorite games. Some master the challenges with ease, others hesitate and frown. Some giggle, while others are frustrated.
These moments tell us more than any data report. By testing in a real-life setting, like a daycare center, we ensure that our learning environments are fun, intuitive, and promote understanding and skill development.
Try it at home or in class:
Observe how children interact with new learning tools. Are they enjoying it? Are they struggling? Where are they particularly motivated or hesitant? Small clues can reveal whether an activity is engaging and age-appropriate.
What we learned: Three insights for parents and teachers
1. Pick up children where they are:
Children learn best when the challenges are just right—not too difficult, but not too easy. Our class tests allow us to fine-tune the difficulty levels to keep every child motivated.
Tip: Introduce a new activity with a warm-up session where children can explore freely. This reduces frustration and increases confidence.
2. Make learning fun:
We believe in the power of laughter—if children aren't having fun, they quickly lose interest in learning. That's why we test whether our games spark joy and curiosity (yes, burps are often a hit!).
Tip: Look for genuine smiles and laughter—they show genuine enthusiasm. If a child doesn't respond, try a different format (e.g., turning a quiz into a hands-on game).
3. Feedback is worth its weight in gold:
Instead of assuming what works, we listen. By collecting feedback from children, teachers, and parents, we improve every detail of EDURINO.
Top tips for assessing learning: Ask children openly:
-
"What did you like best?"
-
"Was there anything that was too difficult or confusing?"
-
"If you could change one thing, what would it be?"
How our classroom insights shape EDURINO: We implement these insights in real time to improve our product:
-
10,000+ children have tested and helped shape EDURINO!
-
97% of parents agree that EDURINO helps their child learn and develop important skills.
Feedback from teachers at our partner schools:
EDURINO and key skills:
"I now see it as a valuable part of early education. I've been impressed by all the benefits we've observed, especially for this age group. It's very supportive, especially in the areas of reading and math... the children sit down, are engaged, and gradually improve their ability to concentrate."
"The pen is especially helpful... They develop their fine motor skills through pen control."
EDURINO and digital education:
"The children are truly captivated and engaged. I see their excitement as soon as we use EDURINO. They look forward to it and are eager to participate. It's a new, exciting experience for them. Now that they can interact with the tablet themselves, they're absolutely thrilled."
Bringing (Pre)School Home Whether in daycare, school, or at home, learning should be fun, effective, and developed with children at the center. The next time your child learns something new, try these simple testing methods—and see how small adjustments can make a big difference!
