Project Summary

In our digital era, kids start to use mobile devices at the age of 2. Recent studies show that it may damage the growing up of the children terribly. This is the very concern of our project. Do the teachers and pupils use the mobile tools in a beneficial way or just kill and waste their time. Of course we agree that, mobile tools can be used for fun but for a reasonable time. With this project, we aim to control our pupils’ usage of mobile tools and technology. We believe that If we learn how to use them in the good way and support our education life, We are going to benefit them and our education quality will increase to high level. On the other hand we will save our pupils from being asocial and wasting time. Some kids are addicted to mobile tools. This damages their health and social development.
That is why, during and after the project, we are going to work to let our pupils know how to use Google, Web 2.0, mobile tools apps, preparing digital materials and presentations, online exercises, e-books, e-magazines, voice recording tools in a way that can contribute their learning process. To achieve this goal, we know that first of all, as teachers and other school staff, we must know what and how technological instruments can help ourselves and our students. Therefore, we will develop our digital competencies up to the most possible level.
We have approximately 700 participants from each partner. They are teachers and other school staff, pupils and parents. Each party has his own responsibility. Parents and other school staff must help teachers to achieve this projects’ objectives. If not supported at home, We can never catch our goals. So, we will also have parents meetings and share our experiences with them. We have to be in an instant communication with parents. We will follow our pupils developments. School management must provide us the necessary tools and official permits to use mobile tools in the classrooms. They will make sure internet connection and networks work well. School management will also benefit from this project like doing the announcements easily through the networks or mobile tools. They will need to buy less papers for exams or exercises.
As for students, they are the most important side of the project. They need to be well motivated. They love to spend time on mobile tools with limitless energy. Why don’t we direct this energy to a beneficial way ? They can personalize their learning process by means of technological facilities. Each student has his own learning style. There many different and attractive apps and other mobile instruments which can motivate them.
Our activities aim
-to develop good behavior of using mobile tools reasonably
-to make these behaviors permanent
-disseminate our works
-make our works visible
Our project has already started on etwinning and when it officially starts in August/2019, we will determine our Executive teams and this project will include all of our students and their parents. The actions will start with a teachers training first at our own schools then in Portugal as we believe that firstly the teachers must be well experienced and will end with the training of how can we can benefit from mobile tools and internet in assessment and evaluation in France. Under the control of our main coordinator, we will complete all of our project activities on time and share our outputs on our website. The main coordinator and partners will be in an instant communication. We have 4 Short Term Learning activities. Our students and teachers will have workshops, exchange experiences and learn new things about Google, Web 2.0, mobile tools apps, preparing digital materials and presentations, online exercises, e-books, e-magazines, voice recording tools in Lithuania, Spain, Greece and Turkey. All of these activities will be organized and planned carefully by the host partner. Before and after the Learning activity, the experiences will be shared and disseminated as much as possible in our countries.
The impacts envisaged:
-the awareness of using mobile tools in a beneficial way by the teachers, school management, parents and students
-the permanent behavior of managing their own learning process by the help of internet and mobile tools
-more motivation for attendance to the classes
-more interesting and attractive classrooms
-more qualified new generation who has digital competency
This project is also very important for our long term objectives. Today’s world demand more qualified workforce who has digital competency. We want to grow up a new generation who can meet the requires of industry and public services.
Let us finish with a question, does Education and training develop the technology or technology develop the quality of Education and training ? We know the answer very well and that is why we want to carry out this project.
