Abstract

This invention is a computer-implemented system or method for creating and delivering content for kinesthetic learning comprising: lesson criteria; an action block; an instruction block; a first lesson block; a second lesson block having kinesthetic content; and a summary block. A real-time digital assessment form can be provided to the user for recording student performance in response to displaying the action block, instruction block, first lesson block, second lesson block and summary block to multiple students simultaneously. The filled real-time assessment form can be transmitted electronically to a parent, guardian or other caretaker of the student. A physical worksheet can be provided to the student having content consistent with the lesson criteria.

Claims (42)

1. A computer-implemented method for creating and delivering audio, textual and visual content with real-time assessments for kinesthetic learning comprising:

receiving lesson criteria from an educator representing a grade level, a subject, a standard and a lesson label;

selecting a set of action blocks according to the lesson criteria wherein each action block includes a kinesthetic content block consistent with the set of action blocks;

selecting an instruction block according to the lesson criteria that is consistent with the set of action blocks;

creating a first lesson block by appending the instruction block to the set of action blocks;

creating a second lesson block from the action blocks;

creating a summary block according to the first lesson block and second lesson block;

displaying the first lesson block, the second lesson block and the summary block to multiple students simultaneously on a multi-viewer display;

displaying a real-time digital assessment form to the educator for recording students' performance in response to displaying the first lesson block, the second lesson block and the summary block on an educator's computer;

receiving real-time assessment information from the educator's computer according to the real-time digital assessment form;

transmitting the real-time assessment form and each student's real-time assessment information electronically upon completion to a guardian of each student of the multiple students having assessment information; and,

providing a physical worksheet to the student having content consistent with the lesson criteria.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the first lesson block includes visual and audio content according to the lesson criteria and the second lesson-block includes visual content according to the lesson criteria and first lesson block.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 including creating a lesson packet by storing the first lesson-block, second lesson-block, summary block and each student's real-time assessment information in a computer readable medium indexed by the lesson label.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the first lesson-block includes content for kinesthetic, visual and auditory styles of learning.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 wherein the second lesson block includes content for kinesthetic and visual styles of learning.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the set of action blocks, instruction block, first lesson block, and second lesson block are less than 10 minutes in length.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 including providing the real-time digital assessment form to the educator by transmitting the real-time digital assessment form to a predetermined digital addressee associated with an educator's log-in information.

8. A computer-implemented method for creating and delivering educational content for kinesthetic learning comprising:

receiving lesson criteria representing a grade level, a subject, and a standard;

randomly selecting a set of action blocks according to the lesson criteria wherein each action block includes a kinesthetic content block consistent with the action block;

selecting an instruction block according to the lesson criteria from a set of instruction blocks filtered according to the lesson criteria;

creating a first lesson block from a set of lesson blocks filtered according to the lesson criteria and having as least one action block selected from the set of action blocks;

creating a second lesson block from the set of filtered lesson blocks;

appending the first lesson block and the second lesson block to a lesson packet wherein the second lesson block does not contain audio instruction;

displaying the lesson packet to multiple students simultaneously;

providing a real-time digital assessment form to an educator for completion during display of the lesson packet;

receiving real-time assessment information from the educator according to the real-time digital assessment form; and,

transmitting the real-time digital assessment form and each student's real-time assessment information to guardians of each student respectively so that guardians can receive real-time performance assessments prior to the student leaving the educational institution.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 including generating a physical worksheet according to the lesson packet.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 including the step of selecting a summary block according to the lesson packet and appending the summary block to the lesson.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 including providing the real-time assessment form to the educator by transmitting the real-time digital assessment to a pre-determined digital address associated with an educator's log-in information.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 including:

providing a portable computing device to the educator; and, providing the real-time digital assessment form to the educator by transmitting the real-time digital assessment form to the portable computing device.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 wherein the first lesson block includes audio and visual content requesting a physical motion from the student according to one or more action block.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 wherein the second lesson block includes visual content according to the first lesson block and the one or more action block.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 including digitally transmitting the physical worksheet completed by a student to the guardian of the student.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 wherein the first lesson block includes an association of physical activity with the educational content.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 including:

displaying an avatar;

animating the avatar according to one or more action blocks; and,

associating a physical movement request according to one or more action blocks.
