Croatian team of virtual students

During the activities in Romania, the Novi Marof Elementary School from Croatia had one physical mobility participant and 4 virtual participants. Virtual participants, in coordination and cooperation with physical participants, were present during the project activities in Romania. Every day during the day, we held video calls through the Teams application in order to explain to the students the activities that they have to do and visualize and explain the project activities to them, so that they could communicate in English with other students participating in the mobility, make new friends and get to know the culture and customs of their friends in partner countries. Virtual participants had to monitor daily project activities in teams and complete assigned project tasks in coordination with students and teachers who were physical participants. In addition to the video conference, we also used the project "SOFT" closed group, the members of which were all students and teachers participating in physical and virtual mobilities, and all of them regularly had to publish their posts and experiences during the mobility week.

For the needs of physical participant student and virtual student participant cooperation A closed Facebook group was opened during the mobility in Croatia for the purpose of student and teacher collaboration of project members. The closed Facebook group was useful for the cooperation and communication of all students participating in physical and virtual mobilities. With the posts and pictures at the event, the virtual participants had a sense of belonging and were able to experience the beautiful project activities in real time and engage in communication with their peers through the posts. Also following pictures and events and descriptive tasks simultaneously with their friends, physical participants, they could participate in the creation of project tasks that the host teachers carried out with the students according to the given project goals.
