EAF is a trusted player in the industry. Its approach measures the effectiveness of educational tools against comprehensive international standards for pedagogical practices and learning engagement. Product evaluations are conducted by trained teacher-evaluators and only approximately half the EdTech platforms assessed by EAF are awarded certification.
“Baobabooks provides pedagogically sound learning experience, helping students to learn to write and read stories. According to the evaluation results, the platform’s best advantages are that it sparks creative thinking, self-expression and collaboration with peer learners as all stories can be easily shared with others. Bringing creativity at the core of learning is probably the best way to use technology in classrooms”, says Olli Vallo, CEO of Education Alliance Finland.
