Project Summary

Our project ‘Education Through Technology’ aims at improving our ways to integrate technology to our lessons more competently and learning new methods of learning and teaching that young people will find more motivative for themselves such as Web2.0 tools and digital learning games.As a result of the surveys we carried out at our school we found out overusing technological devices was the top problem of most of our students.We also found out that teachers and students don’t use them efficiently and they are not able to do research, lack of critical thinking skills, although they have all the opportunities to make research with technological tools, they cannot solve the problems in real life successfully.In addition, we have also found out that our students are techno-addicted so they suffer from health problems. In accordance with the 2023 EUROPEAN EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT VISION, a project management comittee has been established in our school on behalf of increasing the effectiveness of management and quality improvements efforts. Through this project all teachers will be trained to use web 2.0 tools and new technological methods in their lessons such as blended learning and flipped classroom.We also focus on the negative effects of overusing technology on our health and society.With this project we will help students and other people to use these technological devices in a more controlled, useful, productive and conscious way.

Partners in this project are 15 Temmuz Şehitler Anadolu Lisesi from İzmir, Turkey; IES SIXTO MARCO from Spain; Liceo Mamiani Pesaro from Italy, Zespół Szkół Technicznych “Mechanik” from Poland.
POLAND is the coordinator organisation. There will be four mobilities. In each mobility from each school, for each LTT activity, 3 accompanying teachers and 5 pupils who are between15-18 years old, will be involved in the project meetings.

Liceo Mamiani Pesaro from Italy will focus on project-based learning activities and training the partners about use of web 2.0 tools in education, sharing European values-multicultural gatherings, designing a multi-lingual dictionary

Zespół Szkół Technicznych “Mechanik” from Poland will introduce the latest technology which is Augmented Reality (AR).This more advanced version of coding magically brings pictures into life and creates digitally enhanced view of the real world. It gives teachers an opportunity to engage students through animation and 3D context in the educational process and to add some unusual flavour to the lessons. All the partner schools will incorporate technology into class on a daily basis.

IES SIXTO MARCO from Spain will teach a full-length lesson based on activities in using Technology. Activity will cover various didactic approaches to teach students how to get engaged in activities of their interest and motivate them to learn and acquire skills and competences. Some of the activities will involve role-play and games for Individual players or teams of players such as Hunt game: Google Classroom activities, (MATH)-Labyrinth quiz

This project will bring a new and fresh understanding and motivation into education in the globalized world.Teachers and students will make use of digital devices in and out of lessons.This will improve the quality of education in the long-term.We expect good results which tecnology can bring to education as well as divergent voices that will double the real impact of technology on learning. Thanks to the digital education, learning won’t be restricted within the the walls of the classroom and the school day and the school year.
