DPS Dubai vs Penpoints

Corridor-patrolling teachers, one per period per corridor, are given login names and passwords. They check classrooms and tick off, on the app, whether the teacher is present and if best teaching practices are being followed.

Penpoints: an app for parents and teachers to let children practice spelling and handwriting independently! Designed for young students in primary / elementary school (from 6 to 11 years old), Penpoints allows practice of physical “pen & paper” handwriting, using AI to dictate lists of words and provide instant feedback from a photo of handwritten words. It’s the perfect tool for kids to enhance their spelling and handwriting skills autonomously, without requiring adult supervision. For whom? - children can practice independently with a fun and rewarding app experience. Suitable for all learning needs (dyslexia, EAL, spelling bee,...) - teachers can use the app in class and for homeworks, to boost frequency of handwriting activities and interest for spelling - parents do not need to be present but can review results and assign additional exercises Key Features: - Personalised Learning: Aligns with British and American curriculums and year groups to deliver relevant word lists for children to practice - AI-Powered Feedback: Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR), the app analyzes photos of handwritten words, compares them to the dictated list, and provides instant score and feedback. - Parental Insights: Results are automatically emailed to parents, complete with a photo of the exercise, allowing them to review and offer additional guidance when needed. - Rewarding Progress: Children earn PenPoints for each completed exercise, encouraging continuous improvement and making learning fun! - In-class & at home: teachers and parents can co-manage a student’s profile to combine in-class activities, teacher-assigned homeworks or additional exercises. How It Works: - Easy Setup: Parent or Teacher creates an account for their child/class on any iPhone or iPad. - Curriculum-Based Practice: The app dictates curriculum-aligned and age-appropriate words for the child to write on paper. - Independent Workstation: Teacher can create a “SpellStation” challenge where a group of students compete on a selection of exercises in a fun and autonomous spelling competition. - Photo Assessment: Children snap a picture of their work, and our AI “teacher” evaluates the handwriting and spelling for accuracy. - Instant Results: The app provides scores and detailed feedback to the child while parents receive a report via email. Why PenPoints? - Boosts confidence by enabling autonomous learning. - Encourages neat handwriting and accurate spelling. - Offers parents a window into their child’s progress, even from a distance. - Offers teachers a fun and self-sufficient platform to boost “handwritten spelling” skills of their students, in class and at home.
