What Makes an iBlock a Powerful Learning Tool?
Our Engaging, Ready-to-Launch Titles Empower Students and Make Teaching Easier
With a built-in design thinking approach, standards alignment, and hands-on activities, iBlocks make it easy to deliver powerful, real-world learning—without the heavy lifting.
“I need to know more about the key features and benefits of iBlocks.”
Here are the key features and benefits of iBlocks project-based learning:
“Easy lift, high reward” – Because iBlocks are student-led and teacher-guided, they create a robust and creative environment for all participants. Formal testing and grading are minimized; instead, students demonstrate mastery through self-evaluation, discussion, and engagement.
Enriches existing curriculum – An iBlock can supplement your current instruction or be used to launch a STEM initiative. It gives students a space to invent, explore, and take ownership of their learning.
Out-of-the-box solution – Each iBlock includes all the materials required for implementation: a standards-aligned framework, lesson plans, student workbooks, a teacher’s guide, self-assessments, and more.
Driven by design thinking – iBlocks emphasize the engineering design process: research, construction, testing, evaluation, and redesign. The journey is non-linear, promoting resilience and innovation.
Built around a capstone project – Each iBlock culminates in a capstone activity where students bring together what they’ve learned—from first research to final redesign.
Digital solution iBlocks Online – iBlocks include access to iBlocks Online, a digital platform that enables students to log progress, iterate ideas, and collaborate. This innovative platform allows teachers to easily track and manage student work and feedback.
Flexible and customizable – The iBlock model supports adaptation: you can extend modules, adjust grade bands, or tailor the subject focus and timeline to suit your context.
Evidence-based – iBlocks meet a recognized level of evidence under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), signifying that they have been validated to support student outcomes.
