Por achar que a UBBU é uma plataforma tão completa, só podia dar esta classificação. Refiro que, sempre que se inicia um ano letivo, começo por incentivar os colegas a utilizar a aplicação, havendo mesmo momentos em que estou com as turmas para iniciação da exploração por parte dos respetivos alunos , havendo, deste modo, um primeiro contacto (sempre motivador para as crianças).

Eduardo Menezes found ubbu:
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    “- Alunos com dificuldades de aprendizagem (supostamente) - Matemática, conseguem atingir patamares bem elevados na plataforma, conseguindo superar essas "dificuldades "até então demonstradas; - Impaciência dos discentes, esperando que chegue a hora da aula de programação; - Aprendizagem, em grupo, de matéria implícita nas atividades (por exemplo: reciclagem) e partilha de saberes...”
  • Significantly improves teacher knowledge
    “Há 5 anos de utilizo a UBBU em sala de aula e sei que os alunos se desprendem da noção de escola, no termo tradicional da mesma. É um tempo de lazer e de aprendizagem, o que motiva qualquer docente a usar e explorar , cada vez mais, a UBBU e tirar dela o máximo proveito possível, para bem dos alunos e auto-estima do docente.”
  • Significantly improves attainment
    “- Ao utilizar a plataforma, os alunos conseguem transmitir, através do jogo, todas as suas capacidades, quer ao nível das capacidades mentais, sensoriais e capacidades/desenvolvimento da praxis fina, fazendo cm que as suas aprendizagens sejam muito mais significativas.”

With the ubbu platform, I can work with students from 1st grade to 9th grade. The level of difficulty increases progressively, allowing students to progress at their own pace. It also allows students to solve different types of problems through various exercises. What's more, I can monitor my students' progress and help them from a distance. However, the most important thing is that students can work with the ubbu platform without having to create a personal account.

Liliana Sofia Moreira De Paiva found ubbu:
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    “Autonomy and problem-solving was one of the biggest impacts I noticed in my students. Collaborative work also helped solve some problems.”
  • Moderately improves teacher knowledge

Como já referi, a plataforma UBBU tem os conteúdos bem organizados em aulas planificadas que facilitam a ação do professor, mesmo que se sinta pouco habilitado para desenvolver conteúdos de caráter tecnológico. Facilita o acompanhamento dos progressos de cada aluno. Tendo uma disciplina (opção de escola) cujo objetivo seja o equivalente a uma oficina digital, a UBBU enquadra-se perfeitamente, pois na planificação tem por base a aquisição de competências STEAM.

Laura Dias found ubbu:
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    “Conteúdos de matemática: ex. ângulos (medida), pensamento computacional, resolução de problemas, ...”
  • Significantly improves teacher knowledge
    “Ao nível da programação, para acompanhar os alunos, o professor tem de praticar a resolução de exercícios e inteirar-se de rudimentos básicos de programação.”
  • Significantly improves attainment
    “As aulas planificadas da UBBU são uma ferramenta muito importante para alcançar o objetivo final da capacitação digital dos alunos. Aprendemos e conseguimos derivar quando as aprendizagens dos alunos assim o exigem.”

I recommend the Ubbu platform with a maximum score of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. I consider it an essential tool for any teacher from the 1st Cycle onwards, not only for the resources it offers to students, but above all for the support it gives teachers in developing innovative and effective practices. Ubbu allows you to work on logical thinking, problem-solving and digital literacy from the first years of schooling, in an accessible, progressive way and aligned with the curriculum. The content is age-appropriate, motivating and helps to structure lessons with meaning and purpose. In the context of the Profile of Students Leaving Compulsory Schooling, this platform directly contributes to the development of skills such as autonomy, creativity, critical thinking and digital citizenship. Essential Learning in areas such as Mathematics, Portuguese and Environmental Studies are reinforced through programming and the practical application of concepts. At a time when education means preparing for the future, Ubbu is a clear asset, not only for students, but also for teachers. Today's children are tomorrow's future and that future is built with logic, computational thinking and access to technology.

Isabel Soares found ubbu:
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    “By ubbu introducing computational thinking into primary education, ubbu promotes the early development of digital skills, in line with the Profile of Students Who Complete Compulsory Education, fostering logical reasoning, creativity and autonomy. This approach prepares students to think in a structured way and solve problems, essential skills in an increasingly digital world.”
  • Moderately improves teacher knowledge
    “The Ubbu platform helps teachers develop their digital skills by providing structured lessons, videos and practical activities that facilitate the introduction of programming and computer science in primary school. It brings teachers closer to technology in a simple and accessible way, promoting a more current, confident pedagogical practice that is aligned with the challenges of 21st century education.”
  • Moderately improves attainment
    “Using the Ubbu platform has a direct and positive impact on the quality of teachers’ teaching practices, which is reflected in students’ learning. By accessing structured, sequential content adapted to the national curriculum, teachers can diversify strategies, integrate technology with confidence and promote more meaningful learning. Ubbu enables students to develop logical reasoning, problem-solving and thought organization skills, which contributes to improvements in overall performance, not only in Technology, but also in Mathematics, Portuguese and even in work and collaboration behaviors. For teachers, this platform represents a contextual training tool that promotes continuous professional growth and brings teaching practices closer to the real demands of 21st century schools.”
