Through a game, pupils are guided to, say, brush their teeth. Parents can monitor the game, confirming on the game platform, with a mobile device, that the teeth have been brushed. In this way, interaction in a young person’s education takes place through modern terminal devices, and responsibility is not left to the old civics classes.
