Attention drifts, young kids most of all

Other tabs, games and the room around them pull students away, young children most of all. Tutors often can’t tell.

How Pencil Spaces solves it

A seven-year-old switches to a game tab while the tutor explains. Tuned In tells the tutor right away, without showing what’s in the other tab, and she brings him back with a question.

For her youngest students, the tutor uses Child Mode: a clean board, a few big tools and her face right there. There’s less to click and less to wander off to. She changes activity every ten minutes, and the lesson holds.

  • Child ModeAvailableChild Mode gives kindergarten to third grade students a clean board, a few big tools and their teacher’s face right there.

The usual way

Tutors ask “are you still with me?” and keep going.

A tip you can use today

Change activity every ten minutes for young children, and ask them to do, not just watch.
