To offer teachers inspiration and ideas on how to use the tools in the classroom, Sumo provides easy-to-apply lesson plans for each application
With SumoPaint you can draw pictures or combine images with filters, text elements or symbols.
There are over 300 different brushes and many unique tools and effects available
SumoCode allows students to learn coding with gamified examples!
Sumo Edu also gives teachers access to lesson plans, a special guidebook, tutorials and support, learning assessment and evaluation templates.
The pedagogical analysis covers how the product supports learning of the identified skills. The student’s role is assessed by four contrary pair parameters, which are selected to cover the most essential aspects on the use of the product.
The following are the high educational quality aspects in this product.
Sumo is a great, versatile tool for education that can be applied to various subjects.
There is great support for by documentation, tutorial videos and demonstrations. That can help users gain basic knowledge to be master of using the solution later
The teacher guide and lesson plans give a starting point for the use at schools. They focus on creative process nicely.
The supported learning goals are identified by matching the product with several relevant curricula descriptions on this subject area. The soft skills are definitions of learning goals most relevant for the 21st century. They are formed by taking a reference from different definitions of 21st century skills and Finnish curriculum.
Subject based learning goals
Develop and communicate design ideas using annotated sketches, detailed plans, 3-D and mathematical modelling, oral and digital presentations and computer-based tools.
Use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs.
Use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output.
Ohjelmointia kokeillessaan oppilaat saavat kokemuksia siitä, miten teknologian toiminta riippuu ihmisen tekemistä ratkaisuista.
Ohjelmointia harjoitellaan osana eri oppiaineiden opintoja.
Oppilaat syventävät taitojaan ja hyödyntävät opiskelussaan koulun ulkopuolella opittua. Heille muodostuu käsitys siitä, miten tieto- ja viestintäteknologiaa voi hyödyntää eri oppiaineiden opiskelussa, myöhemmissä opinnoissa ja työelämässä sekä yhteiskunnallisessa toiminnassa ja vaikuttamisessa.
Ohjata oppilasta kehittämään algoritmista ajatteluaan sekä taitojaan soveltaa matematiikkaa ja ohjelmointia ongelmien ratkaisemiseen.
Students learn to design work processes, set up hypotheses, experiment with alternatives, draw conclusions, and find new solutions as circumstances change.
Opastaa oppilasta käyttämään tieto– ja viestintäteknologiaa käsityön suunnittelussa, valmistamisessa ja käsityöprosessin dokumentoinnissa.
Students are guided to develop their image skills using a variety of image interpretation techniques and presentation techniques.
The skills of producing, interpreting and communicating knowledge are practiced in a variety of subject-specific ways and in a collaborative manner.
Students will be guided through the diverse acquisition and production of knowledge and the diverse use of information resources as a basis for exploratory and creative work.
Students deepen their skills and take advantage of what they have learned outside of school. They will gain an understanding of how ICT can be used in the study of different subjects, in further studies and working life, and in social activities and influence.
