Spark-Space is taking the well-established technology of idea mapping to new heights with its patented 3D intuitive interface. The independent results for learners:
Students were more attentive...they listened more carefully... understood quicker... because of 'Spark Learner' - Review from Schoolzone Department for Education UK
Encouraging and motivating students in the classroom can be a challenge when competing against video games, the Internet and other multimedia. Often, providing students with knowledge is not enough, they need to learn how to think outside the box, acquire new skills and find dynamic ways to process and apply information.
Interactive idea-mapping tools - graphic illustrators of the relationships between different pieces of information; are a creative form of keeping students of all abilities involved in the lesson, integrating technology into learning, encouraging student participation and retaining interest.
Spark-Space (www. spark-space. com) is a unique idea-mapping product which allows the user the create documents from ideas, quickly and simply. Teachers can present classes that have impact visually and aurally, appealing to spatial and linear learners across the range of abilities in the class - everyone learns.
Duncan Smith, Managing Director of Spark-Space believes that Spark Educator enables the teacher to involve all the class in the sharing and organising of ideas, words and images;
“Often in large classes of mixed ability it is difficult for the teacher to cater for the needs of each individual child, when the learners don’t understand or can’t contribute they tend to ‘switch off.’ Spark Educator allows the teacher to use key words or images as well as longer pieces of text to ensure that everyone can join in lessons, build on their knowledge and spark new ideas and creativity.”
With Spark Educator, teachers can encourage the development of ideas and maximise thinking. Its unique 3D capabilities enable students to understand the ‘big picture’ as well as the connecting idea framework, whilst the rotational screen allows the creation of animated tutorials to keep attention focussed.
The benefits of using Spark-Space are enormous, it is simple to use, comes with a fully working demonstration as well as 50 pre-prepared idea maps to get lessons started. Parents can even share in the learning experience and keep update with class activity, as lesson plans and maps can even be published on the web.
Spark-Space is rapidly becoming a fact of life, already incorporated into the education in many Academic institutions across the UK, United States. Spark-Space is a not only an exciting new product, it changes the learning landscape for students.
