Let’s be honest:
30 kids is just too much
for a single teacher
Slonig gets every student talking in pairs to learn by teaching each other. Game theory ensures everyone takes turns as tutor and tutee—while the teacher can simply observe.
Slonig helps students talk five times more about the lesson topic
Kids go to school to talk to their friends, so we turned those conversations into a powerful learning tool.
We provide students with a simple web app that guides them on how to talk in a way that helps their friends learn—but the talking happens live, face to face, in the classroom.
Throughout the whole lesson, students chat, smile, joke, and explain things to each other.

Slonig eases teaching
Karina Araslanova
History teacher, Lyceum No. 9, Slobodskoy city
Students like that during such lessons they can talk with absolutely any classmate, move around the classroom. The technique is convenient not only for children, but also for teachers.
Nikolay Skobelev
Chemistry teacher, Compas, Budva
The approach used in Slonig helps to enhance student motivation, communication, and interaction within the group. The students were interested in the new format. I think Slonig could be a convenient tool for education.
Vladimir Lebedintsev

It's interesting to observe how the project team manages to focus on the importance of personal freedom, self-determination of students and live communication in the learning process.
