Descrizione del progetto

Description Frase (max. 500 characters): 

The e-Twinning  project “3C - Digital Citizenship” stimulated  multicultural discussion between project partners through using new technologies. It opened  the gateway to knowledge, promoting creativity and innovation for effective lifelong learning. Digital citizenship is a norm  of appropriate, responsible use of technology and it is a concept which has helped  teachers and parents to understand what students/children/technology users should know to use technology appropriately. Teachers and students have  had an entitlement to safe internet access at all times. Pulling Piaget and Papert , the use of participatory media tools in education is typically geared towards, creating a more student-centered, adaptive environment where learners  contributed to the course material, formulated and expressed their own insights and opinion, constructed their own understanding of material by connecting concepts, to personal experience or current events, and learned from one another in collaborative environments.

Obiettivi ed elementi di innovazione

November activity was: "Let’s know each other better" - students from Bulgaria and Romania met each other on eTwinning live and exchanged information about their schools and classes. After their meeting online they prepared and shared on Twinspace their  Glogster multi media posters to make a deeper expression of their communication.

December activity was: "Let’s celebrate Christmas Together" - Students  used Glogster EDU and edu Buncee tools to share with their partners how they celebrate Christmas in their schools and countries. They worked in small groups and created interactive Glogster posters and buncee multimedia presentations, they talk about similarities and differences in celebrating their common Christmas holidays at their homes and schools. They sang carols and national Christmas songs on eTwinning live and did their Christmas greetings verbally and through  digital e-Cards exchange on Twinspace.   

January activity was:  "Let’s share our school activities with our partners" - apps by choice (suggested: sway, thinglink, Glogster, video apps)  Project partners created digital applications to describe activities they usually do in their classrooms - they shared their PBL activities, Learning by doing activities, their casual class activities and the moments in the classroom which made them happy and pleased with learning. They studied from each other how to make their learning environment and learning process more attractive using multimedia and digital tools for making their researches  and finding solutions.

February activity was: "Let’s celebrate Safer Internet Day 2017 and play together e-safety" Partner students created and played educational games ( using learningapps.org tools, wizer.me applications, j2e5) playing on e-safetykit.net. They studied many new rules about e-Safety and reflected on what they study on a mutual padlet board with used resources.

March activity was: "Let's collaborate to celebrate mother's day using GlogsterEDU" Partners used Glogster edu tools making glogs templates for expressing their love to their mummies. Students collaborated together,  they personalised these templates, changed them in a way they like to send their own messages to their mothers.  

April activity was: "Easter spirit in our school". Project partners celebrated Resurrection and Earth Day by doing digital applications for this holidays. Students  learned from each other more about orthodox Christianity and find similarities between their national customs in celebrating Christian holidays in both countries. They made the connection between being full of Christian virtues and doing prosperity for others and the world. Project partners  completed and enlarged their vision about the ways of making our planet clean and green.  Bulgarian students made a PBL to create an e-book "Symbols of Easter" using buncee edu and Glogster Edu tools and platforms. They also created paper eco cities of the future and described them in a collaborative buncee application.

May activity was:  Evaluating activities-online conference on eTwinning live . “Let's give peace a chance!” Project partners did research and gave their solutions how to make the world a better place for living. They researched and found  other names of peace on the internet, made paper doves and wrote the name of peace (synonyms of peace) on doves wings. They shared their paper doves and words of peace on an eTwinnining online meeting. They made a quiz with quizlet to train and study these names in languages of the partnership - English, Bulgarian, Romanian. Bulgarian project partners did PBL at class using Glogster Edu - they created multimedia digital posters to express and present  their future plans on topic: " My future" They shared the results of their  classroom activity with their Romanian partners using a padlet board on Twinspace.Project partners and their teachers collected all project activities and outcomes on a common collaborative buncee application and generated an e-book with QR codes  using platform and tools of Edu Buncee.

Digital Citizenship 3C ( connect-create-combine) is a great project with a big impact for students involved because they learned how to use e-Safety new online technologies and at the same time they shared with partners their school activities and they cooperated to finish every monthly task precisely and on time. In this project, there were involved only 2 schools but we had a fruitful collaboration and we connected, created and combined different activities. The most successful result of this project is that our students learned basic rules how to protect themselves in the online world. As they say, they even teach their parents how to do that connecting and communicating online. On our project Twinspace, we shared all activities and monthly tasks using a lot of edtools like GlogsterEDU, Edu Buncee, Sway, MIE and GAFE etc. Students studied how to work and use these tools to make themselves researchers, curators, critical thinkers, creators and last but not least - independent lifelong learners and real digital citizens. And because we had an awesome collaboration, well supported by teachers and parents in our schools, we decided to continue our project next school year and we have in mind to introduce new edaps mainly from Microsoft and Seesaw and to achieve again a fruitful partner collaboration among our students.

Romanian partners focused on Christmas and Easter celebrations, they shared with their project partners their class and outdoors activities,  and both classes learn from each other about important customs and traditions which happened in their schools and communities. Also they celebrated with their partners Safer Internet Day 2017 when they have learned useful things - how to protect themselves in the online world .

Bulgarian project partners - young English language learners integrated this project in some ongoing lessons and topics of their English language Curriculum and textbook - like “My future” project activity, where students master the use  future simple tense.
