Active lessons – simply with control points and rankings
A control point lesson in PE usually means handing out control points, organising stopwatches and checking scraps of paper. With Fixcontrol, your pupils punch the control points with the FixLogger on the finger – times and order are recorded automatically. In the sports hall, on the school grounds or in the classroom: you are ready to go in about five minutes, and the class is on the move with enthusiasm.
Modern orienteering for PE lessons
Orienteering is ideal for sharpening decision-making and spatial thinking while training coordination skills. With the FixLogger and the school set, Fixcontrol makes running an orienteering session at school far simpler – possible at any time, with almost no preparation. The system also builds a sense of community, as pupils work in teams and master challenges together. Ideal for developing key skills.
Digital learning games for every subject in the classroom
Extend traditional teaching with alternative and digital learning methods. With Fixcontrol, pupils solve tasks from any subject independently and interactively. The FixLogger allows simple and efficient self-checking, while the FixFinder app opens up multimedia learning content such as images, videos or quiz questions. These innovative, gamified approaches boost pupils’ motivation and engagement.
Active learning in the sports hall
Learning to read maps and find your way is ideally supported by playful formats in PE lessons. Thanks to numerous templates, the handy FixUnits Indoor and child’s-play operation, Fixcontrol fits straight into PE lessons – as a dynamic warm-up, as a circuit or as a full-lesson unit that combines coordination and thinking.
Complete teaching material, ready to use
Our products are perfectly complemented by the comprehensive school folder. It contains numerous ready-to-use ideas for everyday school life. Detailed descriptions, practical photocopiable templates and step-by-step instructions make it easy to get started and use all the material quickly. Of course, you can also add your own teaching material to the folder.
