2. Idea
• I participate in two eTwinning project “My
First ICT Hello” and “Meet me round the glog”
and first project activity was introducing
ourselves to pupils from other countries.
3. Resource
• We used Web 2.0 Tools Voki to record voice
avatars and with them introduse pupils.
• With Voki pupils safeness and privacy was
protected, because there is no pupils picture
and names.
4. Project realization
• I was acquainted pupils with Voki that I
showed them how to create avatars. It was
very interesting to pupils who have created
their own avatars.
• Same time we practise introducing on English.
• Finally, I recorded voices individually and
adding them to created avatars.
• All activities I was realising in extracurricular
activity.
5. Challenges
• My first challenge was how to teach pupils 1st
Class teamwork with computer. I work years
in new education environment – one
computer classroom and I know manage
techniques in thet environment. So pupils are
quickly accepted this way of working.
6. • Next task was practise with pupils, who learn
four month Enlish, how to introduce yourself.
• The biggest challenge was all work implement
in regular classes. I made that in Croatian
Classes, when pupils record reading text on
croatian and later listened record.
7. Project impact on pupils and learning
• Pupils enthusiastcally embraced ICT in
teaching.
• Pupils interest for computer working was (and
still is) great.
• Very impressive is the attention when they
are listened and wached others Vokis.
8. Project impact on the teaching
process
• Work on the project with Voki helped me in
mastering classroom discipline, because the
pupils every day had the obligation that must
be realized during the day.
• Pupils are take in international project and
cooperation with pupils from foreign
countries.
• Teaching process was dynamic.
10. Message
• Implement ICT in teaching process is possible
from 1st Class primary education.
• It is necessary to create new educational
environment to enable pupils to develop
information and informatics literacy.
• Web 2.0 Tools provide plenty of possibilities.
