Digital Challenges in Primary Schools 

Digitalization has changed our social lives and the way our children learn. Gaming and social media has a big impact on how children work together and have fun. So what do we do to accommodate a learning experience where our children explore digital and social media, play with new STEAM innovations and experiment with social media in a safe environment. 

sCool teaches children in primary schools digital social responsibility from an early age and provides an online environment exclusively for young people that actively promotes understanding, safety and a culture free from bullying. 

You can be the real Boost  

sCool officially launched April 24th in Amsterdam. The LearnScape built a social learning platform for children and was selected as one of the finalists at the Boost program from The Next Web conference . We were overwhelmed with reactions and we made the promise that we would promote sCool to as many primary schools as possible. 

All press releases and progress that we make is on our Facebook page however selling the platform as the answer to digital challenges in primary schools is not enough. We want to make a FREE and OPEN community where everyone can share ideas or best practices used at their school. Games, videos or cool STEAM-related information that can help stimulate our children to learn in a digital world. 

We have thought of some perks to thank you for sharing information and help us grow but we are open for any other contribution whether it is money or advice!

The Beta version of the community is online, you can already join the community or send us tips on how to improve. Check it out ! Share our link and like us!

The story behind building sCool and why we need you

In my pitch at TNW2015, I already told that all credits go to my own girls who begged me to get a Facebook account at age 8 and 10, you can imagine that I refused. Intelligent as children are these days they challenged me:

"Mum if you can build a better Facebook, you should build             one for schools ! 

We had just founded The LearnScape, social learning platforms for higher education and corporate use. We could give it a try and address at the same time some digital challenges primary schools are facing. 

Some weeks after launching the test platform we knew we did something good. An interview with ATV and an invitation to LeWeb proved we had to continue exploring how to make a safe social learning platform for this kids.


We had a soft launch at a primary school and even made some videos to help our kids become #DSR based on scripts by Child Focus. Everything was privately funded but we need a little help to finish sCool before the new school year in September.  

What exactly needs to be done; 

  • The platform is multilingual; French, English, German, Spanish .... but not Dutch. If we get enough funding we can launch the Dutch version before the new school year starts.
  • The videos we made are only available in Dutch (my own girls and their friends made them :-).
  • The sCool Community needs a conversation manager and although this can be done by volunteers we still  have some costs to it
  • More videos, games, tips ..

How your contribution will help us to the next stage

sCool is a social learning platform and methodology for primary schools. At the same time it teaches digital social responsibility and provides answers to challenges in education by providing an umbrella bringing together all initiatives taken in this field. 
We will start implementing the first sCools in both Belgium and The Netherlands as from September and we have contacts with schools in UK and France. For this we need funding, extra people, project management and most of all our message to be spread to more schools. 
Help us to finish this Cool platform and help our children to have fun in a new way of social learning.
"Imagine a world where our kids can educate us on appropriate social online behavior
