A LEARNING app which helps Early Learners at an East Yorkshire independent school speak more fluently has been named as one of the most inspiring education innovations in the world.
The Chatta app, which is being developed with Pocklington School’s support, was announced as one of the 100 projects which are changing the face of education, at the HundrED Innovation summit in Helsinki.
HundrED is a non-profit global education organisation which shares best practice ideas and innovations to help improve the future of education globally. Its 100 top education innovations, gathered from 36 countries, were selected for their innovativeness, impact and scalability.
The Chatta app works by encouraging children to upload and talk about their own pictures and photos. It is used at Pocklington School to help Pre-Prep and Early Years children improve their command of language and vocabulary, as well as to support overseas boarders as they master the English language. The app has also proved useful in helping children with special needs speak fluently.
Chris Williams, Chatta co-founder, said: “Pocklington School was quick to spot the value of the app in helping learners become strong communicators at any level and in any language. The school has embraced our journey by supporting and endorsing it, which we appreciate very much.”
