Abstract

Varied and light-hearted methods or tools play a significant role in the education of children requiring special attention. It is important for disabled children that the acquisition of the cur- riculum should not take place utilising standard, tedious methods: on the other hand, the trans- fer of knowledge should not be one-sided. In the 2019/20 academic year, two methodological innovations were introduced in lower-grade classes at the Practice School of Eszterházy Károly University where students in need of special attention also experienced these innovations. As our students prefer to use ICT tools and various applications, it is not by chance that the use of digital devices and ICT technology was a crucial element in the selection of innovative meth- ods. Getting acquainted with the task editing applications, one of the main aspects of our selec- tion was the personalisation of applications and their suitability for differentiation. Our choice is the LearningApps application. With this tool, interactive educational aids, so-called learn- ing cubes can be created. In the curriculum, it is important for disabled children to work to- gether, to share a common goal, to experience a sense of achievement, to use different artistic techniques and to enjoy the given work. These were created by the Storyline-framework method. This study outlines the practical application of the LearningApps task editing soft- ware and the Storyline framework method. These methods greatly contributed to a motivating learning environment where disabled students had the opportunity to experience everyday life and to create a friendly atmosphere with their peers.
