How Learning Works

Learning should go further than remembering.

Zippy Panda helps children build knowledge, make sense of it, reason with it and use it to create.

  1. 01

    I Know

    I can discover and remember useful information.

  2. 02

    I Understand

    I can explain the idea and connect it to what I already know.

  3. 03

    I Can Reason

    I can question, compare, test and use evidence to think it through.

  4. 04

    I Can Create

    I can apply what I have learned to make, solve or imagine something new.

Understanding changes what knowledge can do.

Remembering information matters, but it is not the end of learning. Children also need opportunities to explain ideas in their own words, connect them with previous knowledge and notice when something does not make sense.

Reasoning asks learners to compare possibilities, look for evidence, challenge assumptions and work through uncertainty. Creation is where learning becomes useful: applying an idea to solve a problem, make something or imagine a new possibility.

Ask in a learning context

Ask Zippy Panda uses the active learner’s Grade and selected Subject. Inside a Learning Unit, it also uses that Unit’s taxonomy and approved resources.

It is a dedicated learning experience, not a floating chatbot across the public website. Its role is focused: explaining concepts, offering guidance and helping a learner reason through a question.
