Legends of Learning’s platform is a world worth exploring!
With over 2,000 engaging games in the Learning Universe, immersive adventures in Awakening, and fun ways to gain math fact fluency in Math Basecamp, Legends of Learning provides educators with powerful tools to make learning an interactive and enjoyable experience.
But with so much to explore, how can you make the most of it? Here are five ways to unlock the full potential of Legends of Learning in your classroom.
1. Streamline Student Management from the Start
Keeping track of your students can be a daunting task! Legends of Learning has made it easy to organize your roster and manage student access:
- Archive Past Students: Begin with a clean slate each year by archiving previous students and groups. If you ever need to access this information later, archived students can easily be restored.
- Add New Students with Ease: You can add students in multiple ways. They can sign up through a direct link to your assignments, with a teacher code, or you can import them from Google Classroom.
Additionally, rostering integrations through Canvas, Classlink, or Schoology are available for partner schools. This allows you to set up your classroom swiftly and keep everyone on track from day one.
2. Customize Assignments with Games and Videos
Personalization is key in today’s classrooms, and Legends of Learning helps you do just that with customizable assignments:
- Find the Right Games: With thousands of games in the Learning Universe, choosing the best fit for your students can feel overwhelming. Simplify your search using filters like grade level, subject, iPad compatibility, and language options like Spanish.
- Add Videos for Context and Engagement: Alongside games and assessments, you can add instructional video lessons made by expert teachers. This multimedia approach enhances student engagement and reinforces key concepts before they dive into the games.
3. Customize Your Awakening Avatar and Classroom
Personalization is at the heart of engaging teaching, and Legends of Learning now lets you bring your unique style to life through fully customizable avatars and virtual classrooms:
- Design Your Teacher Avatar: Reflect your real-world personality by customizing your avatar with a variety of hairstyles, outfits, and accessories. This feature allows you to create a digital representation of yourself that students will recognize and relate to.
- Create an Inspiring Classroom Environment: Craft a virtual classroom that matches your teaching style or complements the lesson. From interactive designs to thematic elements, you can build a space that keeps students excited about learning.
- Use Customizations to Enhance Lessons: Preview your setup to align with a specific topic, or use your personalized environment as part of the day’s activity. These updates foster a sense of community and creativity, making every interaction within Awakening more meaningful.
This customization feature offers endless possibilities for engaging students while showcasing your unique flair. It’s a simple yet powerful way to inspire learning in a world that feels uniquely yours.
4. Enhance Learning with Awakening’s Focus Areas
Awakening, Legends of Learning’s immersive open world, provides an adventure-based learning environment where students can explore while mastering key skills:
- Assign Focus Areas to Align with Lessons: As students journey through the vast landscape of Awakening, you can set specific focus areas that match the current classroom curriculum.
This allows students to explore and learn at their own pace but within the scope of what they need to understand. This balance between free exploration and structured learning keeps students motivated and engaged in the curriculum.
5. Leverage Support and Feedback Features for Continuous Improvement
Legends of Learning is committed to helping teachers and students succeed. Knowing where to find support and how to give feedback is crucial for a smooth experience:
- Connect with Support Anytime: Whether you’re experiencing technical issues or have questions, support is just a click away. Use the chat icon for real-time assistance, email the support team, or check the Knowledge Base for answers to frequently asked questions.
- Rate and Review Games to Shape Future Content: Your insights into game quality are invaluable in shaping future content. Rate and review games to provide feedback and let us know which games best meet the needs of your students so we can improve our content.
With these five strategies, you can confidently navigate the Legends of Learning platform and provide your students with an enriching, interactive learning experience.
