What is SmartFeet?
SmartFeet is an online platform
where teacher can create educational
games. During the games students
use their mobile devices to complete
a challenging set of tasks the teacher
has created. Mobile technology
allows us to move the learning
outside classroom while maintaining
a connection between teachers and
students.

other participants and then used for
comparing, inspiring discussions and
making further studies.
How?
Teachers and students can follow our simple path
and use some useful tools.
Especially useful for…
● Kids from 6 to 17 years

contact: natalie.gaudet@aalto.fi
andrew.clutterbuck@aalto.fi
● Driving real change requires ability to see
what others don’t see, and coming up
with unconventional solutions.
● Learn the right methodologies and tools
for driving real change.
● Develop your problem solving and team work skills
and make it a meaningful project.
Observe, learn, communicate -
change requires new ways of
thinking!

● Portable to any kind of a
community or to a different age
group

workshop all the way to a wider
and more profound workshop
including sponsor based projects.

8. iGAMESchools –Kulturama Sundbyberg,
Kärrdalsskolan, Sollentuna, NTGymnasiet,
Järfälla, Kista gymnasium
What WE learned
There is a natural difference between learning
patterns for secondary school vs gymnasium
students, but it is not as big as expected - both
groups could complete the project successfully.
There is less“resistance”to simulated 3D
environments than expected - through informal
interviews with students, familiarity with 3D through
games is cited as the main factor explaining that
teenagers find it familiar and exciting.
Group work - students working in groups of 2-3
persons showed the best learning pattern.
The tools used
Unity engine from Unity Technologies, one of the
most powerful and game industry standard
development environments
Conclusion
• the iGames projectis able to create
a sustainable framework for
innovative ICT use in the classroom.
• Creative ICT tools allow to broaden
the scope of possibilities in a
project-oriented instruction
• The“technological maturity”level is
extremely high among teenagers,
facilitating the integration of
advanced ICT tools in the classroom
• The project is easily reproducible in
school environments
• The project is flexible enough to
create an integration framework
that can be used for any school
subject
• Project results are reusable -
basically, students create teaching
material that can be then used in
order to add content (one more
room?? One more floor?)
• Project framework can be
condensed (teacher supplying the
pre-fabs and the students adding
content)
• The role of the teacher is central in
making this project successful.
Teacher training is critical in order
to teach the students, feel
comfortable with the“technology
layer”and providing students with
the necessary assistance in the
classroom.

12. Design for change – France
100 teachers/2000 kids
The challenge asks children to do four very simple things:
Children and adults learn through the Design for Change Challenge
that “I Can” are the two most powerful words a person can
believe. Children who have discovered this are changing their
world.
The example of Malika’s classroom (6 years
old kids) :
FEEL: The children realized that the elderly
were feeling lonely
IMAGINE: Teach the elderly how to use
ipads and tweet with them
DO: Go to the Home ot meet the elderly,
learn to read with them and teach them
how to fear less new technologies
SHARE: Create a vidéo to share the story
and inspire other kids
FEEL IMAGINE DO SHARE
