During the meeting in Finland we looked at the topic of eMaterials and eBooks. The main point was to create material in groups: both using sources in the Internet and by doing and reporting. Pupils were divided in six international groups in which they studied two subjects, water and fish, and made eMaterial for the homepage of Soinin Yhtenäiskoulu. The pretasks were also uploaded on those pages. During the meeting pupils also interviewed each others and summoned the results in diagrams. They also measured their own speed within three different excercises and counted their groups' average speeds. Finally the outputs were uploaded in TwinSpace.
During the Meeting in Finland all pupils joined also one or two normal lessons (classes 1-9) where they saw different ways to use eMaterials for teaching and studying. In the following eBook you can see a few examples of the lessons:
