| ==The Innovation==
| |
| The award-winning curriculum of CYBER KIDS was characterised by a number of innovations:
| |
|
| |
| # Each lesson has 4 phases:
| |
| * Stimulation leading to role reversal Discovery
| |
| * Discussion about tools necessary (Identify tools)
| |
| * Learn the tool and use it to complete the project
| |
| * Deliver the product
| |
| # The focus is on projects and technology is never mentioned
| |
| # Each lesson is structured as a KnowledgePacket, combining goals in multiple dimensions
| |

| |
|
| |
| A KnowledgePacket® is composed of:
| |
| # The actual know-how and data to transmit to receiver/learner
| |
| # The Method of Delivery/Transmission and/or Lesson Plan
| |
| # The Tools to use in the process
| |
| # The Mental Development that will take place during the learning process
| |
| # Real-life applications of the specific knowledge
| |
| # Social value and importance of the specific knowledge"
| |
| # Author of the KnowledgePacket 8. Owner of the KnowledgePacket
