    Activities for students:

    1. ​Students could use apps like "Hrvatski velikani". This App allows them three-dimensional  "sightseeing" of our history. They are just directing a camera to an object and app give them information about it's history.​ They could also use "Socrative". It's an app where they can make quizzes. They are automatically evaluated and there is the possibility of sharing.

     

    1. They can take a photo of some part of the castle.With an aplication called Photo Editor Pro they would cut the photo into small pieces to make a puzzle.

    Students would split in groups and try to solve the puzzles.

    Every group that solves the puzzle needs to go find that object the other group took photos from.

    Once they find the object they will find a fun fact about the castle. 

    Then they need to tell other groups their fun fact.
