11th Lyceum Peristeriou, Greece----Glykeria Gkouvatsou
There is no better way to teach about Media and foster critical thinking than giving students the chance to collaborate with foreigners and highlight it consists an international issue. Due to the very long pandemic lockdown we mainly worked online making hard effort not to lose our enthusiasm. My senior high school students, though they thought they knew all about media misinformation and manipulation, realised there is much more to learn even from younger students- their project partners. We successfully applied differentiated teaching and learning: mixed aged and mixed ability students, different countries , cultures, teaching disciplines, means available, type of classes- face to face and online-; still working and contributing accordingly. Similarly we, teachers, adding ideas, making suggestions, arguing, negotiating, respecting- the real life skills to succeed in a teamwork. I warmly thank you for all the above and I feel happy I have met you, all!
