LessonApp is intended for K-12 teachers and trainers who want to design better lessons using an easy-to-use digital tool. We also recommend LessonApp for teacher students who are studying to become K-12 teachers.
With the upcoming School Manager Dashboard, schools can manage all their licenses, follow activity on the app and support their teachers.
Besides a lesson planning tool and a pedagogically wise lesson structure, LessonApp provides hundreds of activating and effective teaching methods mainly for K-12 education. However, many vocational school teachers and university teachers have found LessonApp’s pedagogical instructions and many methods applicable to their work, too. Anyone interested in improving their teaching can use LessonApp!
LessonApp is for teachers and trainers for the purpose of designing quality lessons for better learning. At this point, it is not a learning platform for interaction between teachers and their students.
LessonApp's pedagogy is based on the latest scientific research and inspired by Finnish teachers. The focus is on designing lessons which motivate students’ learning and improve their 21st century skills. Lessons are usually student-centred rather than teacher-led. This way of teaching has been proven to be very profound and effective in terms of learning outcomes and students’ wellbeing.
