TEACHING THIS IS PIECE OF CAKE!!

HOW DOES galactIQ WORK?

SIGNING IN

As a teacher, you can log in to your personal galactIQ account on the website: galactiq.app.

THE EPISODES

Once you are logged in as a teacher you will see an overview of the different episodes.

YOUR STUDENTS

In addition, there is a "students" tab that provides an overview of all students in the group. Here you can see which students are logged into galactIQ and it provides the option to change the passwords of students.

PREPARING THE LESSON

Clicking on "intro" will provide a comprehensive overview of the episode's content. This gives the teacher the opportunity to prepare the episode. 

STARTING A LESSON!

Once the lesson is prepared by the teacher and all students are logged in, it is time to start the lesson. Press the "bell" button and the lesson will automatically start in the right place for both the teacher and the students.

 

AN INTUITIVE STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS

Now that the episode has started, you as the teacher have the ability to set the pace of the lesson. Click "next" once the information has been conveyed or feel free to step back. Each slide provides enough information at the right time. 

galactIQ TO THE RESCUE!

Should problems arise or do students have difficult questions, you can always click "help", where you will find a collection of information relevant to the slide in question.

 

AND ABOUT YOUR STUDENTS?

As a student, you log into the galactIQ.app website just like the teacher. 

 

 

GO TO CLASS!

Once the teacher has started the lesson by pressing the "bell" icon, the student also gets the opportunity to press the "bell" icon.  

THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE

Within the student's galactIQ environment is the ability to read information, watch videos and play quizzes.

  • A fantastic tool for teachers

    "Galactiq is a fantastic tool for teachers. It helps manage the flow of the lesson, get an overview of how students are doing, encourages student participation and collaboration. It is very comfortable to teach using Galactiq!"

  • Impressive!

    "The video game development episodes are broken down into manageable steps, which allowed all the children in my class to develop a functioning, playable game. What really impressed me though, were the opportunities to experiment with the code; allowing my class to create a truly unique game. I can’t believe how quick we went from zero to hero!"

    Jack Barber
  • Simple and effective

    "The step by step construction and coding instructions on galatIQ were simple and effective, ensuring student success regardless of their ability.  Along with the instructions, the online tutorials kept students engaged and encouraged them to grow in confidence over the course of the week.  The students particularly were inspired to be ambitious with their designs; creating unique and innovative robots. Overall, it is a brilliant experience!"

  • "...the lesson was so well scaffolded..."

    We used the first episode in the robotics series and our students thoroughly enjoyed the lesson.  The instructions were comprehensive for both the students and the teachers and the children could follow them to build their individual rover and were thrilled to see that the commands they set made the rover move.  As teachers, we valued the fact that the lesson was so well scaffolded and it included opportunities for discussion as well as for practising digital skills.  We can see the potential of this educational solution and how it could complement a primary school’s curriculum.

  • It's easy and fun

    "Galactiq is the perfect way to learn and teach coding and robotics to younger kids, even when having minimal to no coding experience yourself. Before each class, I go over today's lesson to gain an understanding of today's targets and goals. With hands-on information solely available for teachers, you can use Galactiq as a manual to learn everything needed to teach the class."

  • "A practical approach with a lot of creativity ..."

    My kids attended the galactIQ Academy for more than two years. During this period, Diego and Gabriel learned many cool things such as programming with Scratch, creating websites with Javascript and HTML, programming Lego based robots, among others. 

    The staff are kind, professional and always willing to help. The approach is hands on with a lot of creativity involved. It was a very pleasant and rewarding experience for my kids. I strongly recommended it for all kids (and adults) who want to develop programming and robotics skills while applying their creativity and enjoying an entertaining learning environment.

Brain

Media Literacy

Behaviour, safety and understanding
A 'must' for all kids in primary schools. Students will learn to recognise the complex mechanisms of the online environment they grow surrounded with. Through debating and investigating your class will fully understand the online world.

Robotics

Learning engineering is key
By teaching engineering and robotics to kids at an early age, you are furnishing them with a foundational skill set that could become essential to them in the future.

Game Development

Plan, design, develop and test
The video game creation process includes planning, designing, programming, testing, and launching a game. A complete digital creative process that reinforces the confidence and programming skills of your students.

Web Development

Programming languages ​​from an early age
Programming languages are part of a strong and smart education for the new generations. Javascript, CSS, HTML or Python are easy to teach and learn thanks to the galactIQ educational method.

Digital Creativity

Where they expand their creative horizons
We want our students not only to understand the rudiments and fundamentals of technology, at galactIQ we also aim at making primary school students creative with the tools we learn to use.
