    Mentimeter activity:

    Students were invited to play with your mates. We will ask you some questions about you and to create the logo of the project. 

    With their smartphone they voted using the www.menti.com and typed the code 54 86 73 7

     

    Logo activity:

    Students had to upload in the Material Section of the TwinSpace (folder Students pictures for the Logo) at least 5 pictures, that helped to create the logo of the project. These photos could be of their town, of their school or related to the topic of the project (cyberbullying, fake news, safe surfing on the net) and all toghether will form the logo.

    Students had to be careful to upload photos either taken by themselves or with a Creative Commons license and had to be very careful to respect privacy!

    Here students had a tutorial about they could upload the pictures (being careful and uploading them in the right folder!):

    Bingo activity:

    This was a team-building activity. Students had to answer to this survey, so the teachers could create some Bingo cards and you pupils could interact in the TwinSpace forum for each team looking for pepole who meet the requirements. As first step students had to post their answers here these answers had been used to ask to their mates to look for them in their Bingo card.

    Towns game:

    This is a collaborative game where students had to collaborate with their team mates to win the game as a team. They found pictures (monuments, places, food, famous people, etc.) familiar to people who live in a town but impossible to guess for those who live somewhere else. So it was very important sharing information with their mates who knew the answers related to their town.

    Students could start to play the game clicking here and then they could go to their team's forum looking at this table anc clicking on their team's name:

    Team name
    Red
    Green 
    Yellow
    Blue
    Orange

     

    Here you can read the questions on which students had to collaborate sharing information:
