What do you want to be when you grow up?
When I grow up I want to be happy!
Education today is focused on making a living rather than making a life.
What if we based education on being happy and healthy?
Logan didn’t use to like to write. His teachers forced him to write about butterflies, but he wanted to write about skiing.
Creativity is as important as literacy.
Show students what they need to know in a way that they can understand, i.e. exemplify from their interests. Exemplify education. Make it relevant.
School needs to be fun, creative and put the education in
perspective to what you want to do.
School4you is a tool created to make learning easier in our digital and entrepreneurial world. We work closely with the business world to create
understanding and knowledge whilst having fun.
What is SCHOOL4YOU?
Working closely with the business-world enables us to create a school that inspires young students to long for and wanting to be a part of creating an appealing future.
Building bridges between business and education
Having fun and being creative and guts at school is important to us at School4you. Education is the foundation of our future, but why can’t it be fun?
School4you is a school that lets the students influence their own education thus making them feel empowered and involved.
A school that students long for
We cannot stress enough how important creativity, having fun and working with entrepreneurship is to us. Why not exemplify mathematics with a
fun game where you calculate on the amount of nails needed to build a house, for example? Better yet – build the house!
Gamified education
Ours is a highly digital world and it is progressing even more! Therefore the school teaching our children needs to adapt to this digital world. Schools working closely together with the outside world around it, put the things you learn in perspective.
What you learn in school becomes your base on which you build your future.
The school needs to reflect the climate around it
Integrating the educational system with the business world closely ties the students’ present with their future. School4You is a collaborative digital learning platform for students and teachers. It is a widget and app-based gamified mash up of different
digital media services on the Internet. For example companies can present different problems that the students work on through these widgets or apps. You can also attach
anything – from any place or person published on the Internet to the work board.
How does SCHOOL4YOU work?
SCHOOL4YOU is developed by award winning educator Anna Karlsson, digital entrepreneur Simon Vikström and inspirational coach and entrepreneur Tina Thörner.
Our mission is to create and shape a modern and creative school that puts the fun and creative back in learning.
