Step 1
Pupils present themselves in a video making reference to their use of technology.
Suggested tool to collect videos: Padlet, Symbaloo, Prezi
Here below you have an example with Symbaloo made by 3 Italian guys under the supervision of their French teacher, Angela Ciarlo
Plus other 2 examples in English, made under the supervision of Mrs. Rizzo
Step 2
Pupils of each country look for a video on the net which might give clues on inclusion through technology in education (one example can be found here)
They watch the video and discuss about it in class. In small groups pupils face the driving challenge: "Suggest concrete steps to take in order to promote inclusion at school and in education"
To compare their findings with one or more partners' teams, pupils may arrange:
a) a video conference
b) a chat on the TS
c) forum threads on the TS, like this and this
Suggested tools: skype, eTwinning live
Products: reports of the class and international work as word docs, prezi, ppt, mindmaps, infographics, forms (like the one below made by the pupil Dareen on the basis of the 10 top ICT questions each of her classmates had thought of)
)
Pupils who are going to Belgium prepare the product required by the Belgian team.
During the Belgian mobility, students a) analyse new teaching/learning practices related to technology b) test their weaknesses and strengths, c) evaluate the new mats
Driving question or challenge: "How can technology promote unity in diversity?"
