Project Summary

We are 6 partners from : Turkey (2), Italy, Croatia, Portugal and Spain, public, non-profit secondary schools ranging from vocational to general secondary.
In this project we will benefit from many mobile apps and web tools.So we have planned activities throughout the project where technology will be presented and used effectively in teaching/learning environments.Throughout the project both teachers and students will practice them and the necessary assistance/guidance will be provided by the IT teachers. All the participants will acquire, develop and improve key e-competences which enable them to be competent workers and citizens. Teachers can help students become more motivated or involved in their work and have more positive results by helping them using smart technologies in their learning. Plus, these smart technologies are very important in developing collaboration and teamwork which are essential skills required on the job market.
Objectives for teachers linked to: strengthening the profiles of the teaching professions, supporting individuals in acquiring and developing basic skills and key competences:
learn about the best apps and web solutions to make education more engaging, motivating and innovative
get a new perspective on ICT tools and learn new ways and best practices to integrate new technologies into education
exchange best practices and share experiences with participants from different countries
introduce CLIL lessons created
encourage the active involvement of students in productive education creating
develop and improve knowledge on using digital tools efficiently in teaching environments
enhance sense of initiative and creativity
foster a higher level of English
improve knowledge and cultural awareness
Objectives for students linked to ICT – new technologies – digital competences:
enhance digital proficiency for educational purposes
increase motivation for learning
foster a higher level of English
develop communication and collaboration skills,connect with their peers from different countries and share experiences
develop creativity and sense of initiative, foster further academic achievements,
enhance cultural awareness and intercultural competence
Objectives for schools linked to: quality Improvement Institutions and/or methods (incl. school development), research and innovation:
develop a school policy plan on integrating ICT tools to the school curriculum
develop strategies to improve the educational quality
support and promote the use of digital technologies for learning and teaching

3) involving students in active learning in an international group
4) creating a google map with the directions to partners’ cities and countries
5)using web tools and mobile apps for educational purposes in creation of an interactive route with the help of the App Mathcitymaps, Compilation of different types of mathematical problems/challenges linked to the different `basis points´
6) creating Learning Scenarios
7)creating moodle platform courses
8)participating at LTTA’s
9)participating at workshops on e-safety, coding, robotics, augmented reality, 3D printing
Project results: Learning Scenarios, the Island of Vis app and website on the island’s archipelago, flora and fauna, a google map with the directions to partners’ cities and countries and information about the location, an interactive route with the help of the App Mathcitymaps, Compilation of different types of mathematical problems/challenges linked to the different `basis points´(selected monuments),moodle courses on the project activities and results, e-safety posters
Envisaged impact: best practices and shared experiences, introduced teaching using web tool, apps, CLIL, moodle, improved knowledge on using digital tools efficiently in teaching environments, developed creativity, a higher level of English, acquired strategies to improve educational quality, enhanced cultural awareness and intercultural competence, ICT integrated into school’s curriculum, developed communication skills, increased motivation for learning
The potential long term benefits: integration of the project results into the partner schools’ curriculum, activities at LTTA’s to be integrated into teaching of: ICT, English, Maths, Art, Biology.
