Description Frase (max. 500 characters): 

The purpose of this project is to allow our students to acquire the necessary competences to live in the 21st century characterized by three important aspects: the Internet Era, the Multilingualism and the Globalization. It is founded on the use of eTwinning based learning in everyday school activities, in a cross curricular approach to different school subjects and functional to the achievement of the most innovative guidelines, both national and European, and the CLIL.( Mother tongue/ english).

Project Summary (max. 2000 characters): 

The project is born from a collaboration between some teachers from different European schools, exactly the Istituto Comprensivo " Ex Circolo Didattico"" of Rionero in Vulture; Szkoła Podstawowa nr 9 im. M. Kopernika w Dzierżoniowie, Dzierżoniów, Poland; Agrupamento de Escolas da Lousã - EB nº2 from Lousã, Lousã, Portugal; CEP Virgen de la Guía, Portugalete, Spain. It's been recognized for a long time that the traditional school work and learning are no longer able to meet the needs of today's students. Many students start to become reluctant to learn and adopt disruptive behaviour in class, or drop school. This project, thanks to the use of eTwinning and ICT tools, allowed us to go beyond the traditional lesson, experiencing a new way to teaching and learning, based on the creation of an interactive, collaborative and motivating learning environment and the proposed of practical, inquiry-based tasks and open-ended problems. Students are been guided to find solutions and to learn through the exchange of ideas, research, collaboration, creativity, the assessment of their own work and that of others.. Students and their collective learning experience are at the center of learning. They are engaged in active learning and to work in teams on multidisciplinary topics fostering competence development and strengthening both individual and collaborative aspects of learning. The proposed activities have allowed the students to integrate the virtual experience with the real one (inside and outside of school) and rework it creatively through the use of technology.

Project Summary (max. 2000 characters): 

The project is born from the collaboration between some teacher and students belonging to the Institute Comprehensive "Ex Circolo Didattico" of Rionero in Vulture (Italy) and the 1st Primary School New Redestou, Thessaloniki (Greece). The idea that led us to realize this project is the fact that although it is widely recognized the formative importance of the reading, today's students continue to show little interest in this type of activity. Overcoming the traditional approach instrumental and technicist this project, by creating a learning environment motivating and collaborative, involves students in a series of creative and fun activities such as to involve them in their emotional, cognitive, communicative, relational, social sphere and turn their indifference to love for reading. Reading the book it has been integrated by the use of modern languages of communication and creatively reworked. Starting from the reading of the classical myths the students refined and processed informations, identified linkages and relationships, communicated and collaborated, made a path that led them to the creative use of writing. Through a series of tasks based and collaborative problem solving activities pupils were led to some important classical Greek and Roman myths, their heroes and characters to reflect on the values that they passed on to find in them a safe compass for orientation in a society based on insecurity, on appearance, and built on a value system increasingly tenuous, which is one in which we live. The collaboration and, therefore, the implementation of the project was realized according to the following plan Project http://v.gd/XMl8Vr Pupils have collaborated following the directions that were provided to them through the allocation of tasks and shown in the following page http://twinspace.etwinning.net/560/pages/page/20460
