Didactics and Technology in Education

Not an app but close enough - love it.

In addition to using Lego for maths, I've taken my sons (extensive) Lego collection into History and Society & Culture to have the students (high school) demonstrate their understanding of concepts such as globalisation, communism, nationalism, capitalism. Worked really well and classes sooo happy. 

Having been broken up into groups and given a concept each, They created cities or environments demonstrating the concept then talked the rest of the class through. 

Fantastic ideas for using lego in mathematics. Simple hands on tasks.

Creativity for kids...

While the rest of us were out building basic houses with Legos, 15-year-old Morgan Spence was hard at work using the iconic plastic blocks to replicate classic movie scenes. 

The Scottish teen reportedly spent three weeks tirelessly recreating 15 different famous film scenes using only Legos and stop motion video. The resulting clip was made to promote "Brick City," a new book from Lego masterbuilder Warren Elsmorethat includes sets and movie posters from 60 iconic films -- built entirely from Legos, of course.
