How it works

How does FirstWork’s focus feature work?2024-08-21T19:10:23+00:00

FirstWork has a ‘parental control’ style feature that makes it possible for you to limit fun apps during learning lessons. Simply select all of the fun/distracting apps like YouTube or games during the setup process. While FirstWork is asking questions all of those apps will be restricted.

This minimizes distractions and keeps the learning on track!

Where can I learn more about how the app works?2024-08-21T19:40:17+00:00

FirstWork has a number of video guides that can show you how it all comes together. We suggest you start by watching this walkthrough video:

How does FirstWork’s reinforcement feature work?2024-08-21T19:01:27+00:00

After a lesson is completed you can grant a digital reward: time on fun apps like YouTube or games! You can set the amount of reward time before the lesson, for instance, you might earn 5 minutes of reward time after completing a lesson. Once the lesson is completed fun apps will be made available for 5 minutes.

When the time is up FirstWork can restrict the fun apps again requesting that the learner completes another lesson to regain access! It’s a powerful motivational engine because it leverages rewards kids already know and love.

How is FirstWork different from other DTT platforms?2024-08-21T19:00:07+00:00

FirstWork digitizes DTT from setup all the way to reinforcement. It has a best-in-class library of teaching images, incredible amounts of customization, easy lesson sharing, data tracking, and report generation capabilities. The app can do it all!

Uniquely, FirstWork also has a powerful reinforcement feature that makes the app much more engaging than cards for many learners. FirstWork makes it possible to earn existing digital rewards like time on YouTube. Instead of giving learners contrived rewards like a digital sticker or silly video they can access the experiences they already know and love.

It’s a seamless experience that speeds up DTT and provides a strong motivational component for learners making the app particularly apt for cross-context use, including in the home context for continued learning.
