ICT in teaching aids design: Interactive Jigsaw Puzzle

Abstract

The study is to construct an interactive jigsaw puzzle system. Our goals are to use the information and communication technology in development of child teaching aids. We had designed and implemented the electronic puzzle block. The block used microcontroller to control the patterns and wireless connection to transfer data with computers. Children can rotate and connect the blocks, which can be used to learn geometries in three-dimensional spatial relationships. The change of patterns will attract children’s attention, which can increase their motivation and fun in learning.
