The document outlines a 2012-2014 Comenius project between 5 European schools exploring how educational media can be used efficiently. The participating schools were from Spain, Sweden, Ireland, Italy and Germany. Objectives included raising literacy/math levels through collaborative online work, surveys on reading habits, and increasing student motivation and responsibility in learning. Activities included language work, online collaboration, and studying "A Brave New World". Expected results were more active and aware students who could document and share successful ICT/media learning strategies between schools. Coordination meetings were held in Sweden, Germany, Ireland and Italy over the two years.
7. OBJECTIVES
• To design and use an intervention programme
which will directly benefit the participants
• To gain an understanding and awareness of
the culture and values of their partners.
• To raise awareness of its impact on their lives
and educational experience, particularly in
relation to literacy and mathematics.
• To encourage motivation among students by
involving them more actively in their own
learning.
8. OBJECTIVES
• To build on their interest in IT/ICT to develop
learning strategies which could increase their
motivation, their literacy levels and their
interest in maths and science.
• To encourage them to suggest and use
alternative learning approaches which would
make subject content more relevant to them.
• To build up a bank of resources which can be
more widely used to benefit other students
9. ACTIVITIES
• YEAR 1 (2012-13): YEAR 2 (2013-14):
- Work on language
and literature. - Work online
– Online collaborative - Maths, science
work in Twinspace and technology
– Surveys on reading
habits
– Work on “A Brave
New World” by
Aldous Huxley.
– “Phrase Book” in the
languages of the
project.
10. EXPECTED RESULTS
• To make students more aware of their own
responsibility in the learning process.
• To make them increase their literacy as well as
mathematical and scientific levels.
• To make them more active in using, and also find out
about, and even invent themselves, different products
within the ICT/Edumedia field in their own studies.
• To document this and let the schools benefit from their
results and products in this project. * To let this be a
part of a bigger European intercultural context, together
also with schools in Ireland, Germany and Spain.
