Motivation & Motion

The idea of this project is a response to the decreasing motivation of pupils who are getting lower and lower school results due to different reasons such as the time they spend using their phones and devices just to play games, watch youtubbers and in social networks such as Instagram, etc. This makes them loose concentration when studying and lack of enough sleeping hours.The project “Motivation and Motion” aims at teaching our students how to use ICT appropriately to improve their free time, their academic results and their health. Teaching them to value the environments where they live respecting the environment and cultural heritage. The main objective of the project will be teaching the students how to use ICT properly, increasing their motivation to study, and avoiding early school leaving. Further objectives will be valuing nature as a natural heritage that must be preserved and preferring sports and activities that are eco-friendly, as well as developing cultural, social, language, teamwork skills. Activities: Interdisciplinary access is important, so different subjects will be involved. Skills acquired will be applied in different areas. The activities planned are the way to achieve the objectives of the project. There will be a meeting in each of the countries during the two years of the project working on different aspects of the topic. Formative activities, workshops, students presentations, exhibitions and cultural visits will be organized. Before meetings Etwinning will be used for virtual mobilities: discussions in forums or preparing presentations. During the meetings, we will focus on innovative practices in a digital environment combined with outdoors healthy activities to blend natural heritage, healthy sport eco friendly activities with new ICT techniques to engage our students in the appropriate use of ICT improving their concentration and motivation while studying. Students will also get knowledge of how tourism could combine cultural and business issues and how cultural sites could be discovered using technology. The different activities will be related to the relevant subjects and curriculums and the school's curriculum will be improved, including for example motivating activities using ICT and going outdoors.
