Children learn best when they are actively interacting with content to create meaning. Tiggly interactive toys bring tactile play into digital learning. Students are able to use physical, hands-on math and literacy tools as they interact with the digital world. Tiggly Toys have silicone touch points so the tablet reacts to them just like kids fingertips. When using Tiggly Words, students explore concepts such as short and long vowels and word building as well as problem solving, spelling patterns, and storytelling. With Tiggly math, students are encouraged to think for themselves by creating problems and solving them many different ways. A recent study by PlayCollective, an independent research firm specializing in early childhood development, showed increases in early number skills of up to 71% for kids who played with Tiggly Math for only 2 weeks!!
Using the Tiggly manipulatives with the tablets allows time for processing and better retention of literacy and math skills.
The items that I have selected will help my students by giving them a way to integrate technology with more concrete, hands-on learning through play. This will be extremely beneficial for my most struggling students who need the physical reinforcement that tactile learning provides.
I have seen how technology can positively motivate my students and I hope that the addition of physical manipulatives will help us grow even more!
