Obiettivi ed elementi di innovazione

The main instrument through the project was programming language Scratch - use used the scratch website.
Our students would to discover different cultures of Europe and share information (educational system, school life, free time), - to learn programming. The programming was integrated with different subjects like maths, art, design, ICT, languages, music etc. Very important was international collaborative work and knowledges through the partnership.
How we managed the project:

1. Getting to know each other 1.1. Preparing a Power Point Presentation: students are supposed to introduce themselves and present their schools – deadline: the end of November 2014 1.2. Making teams - deadline: the end of November 2014 1.3. Organising a chat session: students can ask some questions, learn about their hobbies, interests, etc., they work in teams - deadline: the end of December 2014 2. First steps in Sctrach, the topic of the game: Culture (geography, food, festivals, history, music, famous people, etc.) 2.1. Creating a logo of the project: each team designs a logo and post it, pupils are going to vote to choose their favourite one – deadline: the end of January 2015 2.2. Designing a game character, giving it a name and adding simple moving – deadline: the end of February 2015 2.3. Brainstorming the ideas of the game – deadline: the end of March 2015 2.4 Creating an animation or a game – deadline: the end of May 2015 3. Sharing the animations and games and watching and playing them, exchanging comments, having fun, evaluation of the project, voting for the most attractive game – deadline: the end of June 2015

Barriers and Solutions (max. 1000 characters): 
One of barriers was to find platform where the student can collaborative and make animation etc - that platform was scratch.mit.edu. The other barrier was the time zone - it was different and was difficult to find the suitable time to chatting (real time). But we did it.
Future plans and wish list (max. 750 characters): 
To move and develop the programming (through the different subjects) skills. Try new programming languages and share the games and animation with others.
