Sudjelovala sam u Erasmus + projektu pohađanjem tečaja „"Tableti i pametni telefoni: upotreba mobilnih uređaja kao obrazovnih alata" u Firenci od 8. srpnja do 13. srpnja 2019. godine.
Tema tečaja bila je primjena tableta i pametnih telefona kao obrazovnih alata.
Ishodi tečaja bili su:
- korištenje tehnologije u učionici: upravljanje grupama, interakcija, komunikacija, dijeljenje materijala
- predlaganje zadataka i vježbi putem obrazovnih web platformi
- platforme za audiovizualne materijale: kako olakšati pretraživanje, kreirati popis za reprodukciju različitih tema, dijeliti i ugrađivati videozapise i popise za reprodukciju.
- interaktivno učenje pomoću kvizova, igara i flash kartica
- upravljanje virtualnom učionicom, slanje zadataka, pretraživanje i dijeljenje korisnih materijala, komunikacija s učenicima
- motiviranje učenika ozbiljnim digitalnim igrama i kvizovima
Ovim tečajem unaprijedila sam svoje digitalne vještine i naučila kako uključiti tehnologiju u svoju nastavu i izvannastavnu aktivnost koju provodim jedan sat tjedno.
Naučila sam kako koristiti tehnologiju u učionici, upravljati skupinama, upravljati virtualnom učionicom, komunicirati online i razmjenjivati korisne materijale i slike.
Korištenjem obrazovnih internetskih platformi i primjenjujući interaktivno učenje motiviram učenike na učenje korištenjem kvizova, digitalnih igara i flash-kartica.
Učenici 3. i 4. razreda na izvannastavnoj aktivnosti Europska putovnica uče kako uz pomoć digitalnih web alata Socrative, Quizlet i Padlet na novi i zanimljiv način savladati nastavne sadržaje, učiti i unaprijediti svoje znanje i vještine. Učenici rješavaju kvizove na računalima.
Preporučujem ovaj tečaj jer je odlična prilika za usavršavanje digitalnih vještina učitelja. Sve pohvale našim koordinatoricama jer bez njih ovakvi projekti ne bi bili mogući.
I participated in the Erasmus + project by attending the course "Tablets and smartphones: using mobile devices as educational tools" in Florence from July 8 to July 13, 2019.
The topic of the course was the use of tablets and smartphones as educational tools.
The outcomes of the course were:
- use of technology in the classroom: group management, interaction, communication, material sharing
- suggest assignments and exercises through educational web platforms
- Audiovisual platforms: how to make it easy to search, create playlists for different topics, share and embed videos and playlists.
- interactive learning using quizzes, games and flashcards
- managing a virtual classroom, submitting assignments, searching and sharing useful materials, communicating with students
- motivating students with serious digital games and quizzes
With this course, I have improved my digital skills and learned how to incorporate technology into my teaching and extracurricular activities that I spend one hour a week.
I learned how to use technology in the classroom, manage groups, manage a virtual classroom, communicate online, and share useful materials and images.
By using educational online platforms and applying interactive learning, I motivate students to learn by using quizzes, digital games and flashcards.
Students in grades 3 and 4 in the extracurricular activity European Passport learn how to use the digital web tools Socrative, Quizlet and Padlet to master teaching content in a new and interesting way, to learn and improve their knowledge and skills. Students solve quizzes on computers.
I recommend this course because it is a great opportunity to perfect your teacher's digital skills. We would like to commend our coordinators for such projects would not be possible without them.

Vrlo sam zadovoljna svojim iskustvom u programu Erasmus+ mobilnosti tijekom trajanja tečaja „Kreativnost u razredu u teoriji i praksi“ od 9. do 18. ožujka 2020. u Istanbulu.
Tečaj je temeljen na teoriji kreativnosti i njenoj primjeni. Pozitivni aspekti su bili interaktivnost tečaja, puno praktičnog rada i usredotočenost na timski rad. U radu s darovitim učenicima unaprijedila sam njihove vještine kreativnog mišljenja i njegovanje mašte. Dobila sam praktične ideje i kopije materijala pojedinih lekcija o središnjoj temi tečaja – kreativnosti i primijenila ih u razredu.
Unaprijedila sam svoje jezične kompetencije u engleskom jeziku, jer je pristup u edukaciji baziran na grupnim diskusijama, aktivnostima kreativnog rješavanja problema i „oluji mozgova“. Povećala sam svoje znanje kako misliti „izvan kutije“ s namjerom da povećamo motivaciju učenika u radu.
Tečaj je zadovoljio potrebe i ciljeve moga rada s darovitim učenicima. Ocjenjujem ga ocjenom 5/5.
I am very satisfied with my Erasmus+ mobility experience during the course Creativity in the Classroom in Theory and Practice from March 9 to March 18 2020, in Istanbul.
The course incorporated both the theory of creativity and its application. Positive aspects were the interactivity, a lot of practical work and focus on teamwork. I improved creative thinking skills of the gifted students and fostered imagination. I got practical ideas and soft and hard copies of lesson materials related to the course topic – creativity and I applied in the classroom.
I improved my linguistic competences in English because the approach implicated much the group discussions, problem-solving activities and brainstorming. I increased my knowledge how to think „outside the box“ in order to improve the motivation of students.
The course linked to the needs and objectives of my work with the gifted students. I rate the course 5/5.

Sudjelovao sam u Erasmus+ projektu sudjelovanjem na tečaju „Coding & Robotics in Education“ koji se održao u Malagi (Španjolska) od 28. ožujka do 1. travnja 2022.g. na kojem sam se upoznao s robotičkim kompletima s kojima se do tada nisam imao prilike osobno susresti u svome radu. To je ujedno bio i razlog zašto sam ga odabrao te se nisam uopće razočarao.
Tečaj je bio organiziran od strane Plus Projecta te je bio odlično strukturiran. Imali smo prilike upoznati različite komplete robota koji se mogu koristiti u nastavi informatike, programiranju kao i u provođenju izvannastavnih aktivnosti robotike. Na tečaju mi se posebno svidjelo to što se nije puno teoretiziralo nego su dani na tečaju bili uvelike iskorišteni za praktični rad, sastavljanje robota od samih početaka, početne i napredne razine te se nakon sastavljanja robota uvijek programiralo kako bismo uvidjeli primjenu određenog robotskog kompleta za pojedini uzrast učenika.
Preporučio bih ovaj tečaj svima koji u svojim školama nemaju priliku kupiti određeni komplet za programiranje i provođenje planiranih STEM aktivnosti jer nakon što se kompleti kupe često se shvati kako baš taj komplet nije pogodan za uzrast s kojima zapravo radimo, a na ovaj način se svaki sudionik tečaja može u nekoliko dana pobliže upoznati s mogućnostima svakog robota te sam shvatiti prednosti i nedostatke svakog od njih.
Zahvaljujem i našim projektnim koordinatoricama koje su mi pružile priliku sudjelovati u projektu te putem odabranog tečaja upoznati nove tehnologije koje će mi uvelike pomoći u budućem radu.
I participated in the Erasmus+ project by attending the course "Coding & Robotics in Education" which took place in Malaga (Spain) from March 28 to April 1, 2022. where we were introduced with robotic kits that I not had the opportunity to meet personally in my work until then. That was also the reason why I chose it and I was not disappointed at all.
The course was organized by the Plus Project and it was structured excellent. We had the opportunity to learn about different sets of robots that can be used in computer science classes, programming, as well as in the implementation of robotics extracurricular activities. What I particularly liked about the course was that there was not a lot of theorizing, but the days on the course were largely used for practical work, assembling robots from the very beginning, initial and advanced levels, and after assembling the robot, it was always programmed in order to see the application of a certain robot kit for each age of the student.
I would recommend this course to everyone who does not have the opportunity to buy a specific kit for programming and carrying out planned STEM activities in their schools, because after the kits are bought, it is often realized that that particular kit is not suitable for the age group we are actually working with, and in this way every participant in a few days, the participants of the course can become more familiar with the capabilities of each robot and understand the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.
I would also like to thank our project coordinators who gave me the opportunity to participate in the project and through the chosen course to get to know new technologies that will greatly help me in my future work.

Sudjelovao sam na tečaju Enough Theory, Let’s Play! Fun Games for Developing the Whole Child – Tenerife od 14. ožujka do 19 ožujka 2022. godine.
Odabrao sam ovaj tečaj kako bih unaprijedio svoje vještine i bolje se upoznao sa različitim igrama i aktivnostima za razvoj socijalne i emocionalne inteligencije učenika. Ovaj tečaj naučio nas je kako u razredu koristiti igre kako bismo poboljšali sposobnosti svojih učenika te utjecali na njihov osobni (kognitivni, emocionalni i društveni) razvoj. Također, uveo nas je u različite vrste kohezivnih i izražajnih igara te igara za opuštanje.
Igranje takvih igara pomaže nam da stvorimo kohezivniju grupu, čime utječemo na poboljšanje kvalitete učenja naših učenika i naše iskustvo kao učitelja. Igranje igara ponekad se smatra nestrukturiranom i besmislenom aktivnošću rezerviranom za mlađe uzraste, ali zapravo ima vrlo važnu obrazovnu vrijednost.
I participated in the Erasmus + project by attending the course "Enough Theory, Let’s Play! Fun Games for Developing the Whole Child" in Santa Cruz, Spain from March 14 to March 19, 2021.
I chose this course to improve my skills and become more familiar with different games and activities to develop students' social and emotional intelligence. This course taught us how to use games in the classroom to improve our students abilities and influence their personal (cognitive, emotional and social) development. Also, it introduced us to different types of cohesive, expressive and relaxation games.
Playing is sometimes considered an unstructured, purposeless activity reserved for children and teenagers but it actually has an important educational value

Sudjelovala sam u Erasmus + projektu pohađanjem tečaja „Intelligent Assessment and evaluation" u Santa Cruzu, Španjolska od 26. srpnja do 31. srpnja 2021. godine.
Tečaj je bio dobro strukturiran, te iako smo naučili teorijsku detaljnu analizu razlika assessmenta, evaluacije i vrednovanja međutim moram priznati da me jako razočaralo što nismo konkretno napravili ništa digitalno, niti jedan alat za evaluaciju ili asessment. Dala bih mu ocjenu 3/5
I participated in the Erasmus + project by attending the course "Intelligent Assessment and evaluation" in Santa Cruz, Spain from July 26 to July 31, 2021.
The course was well structured, and although we learned a theoretical detailed analysis of the differences between assessment, evaluation and valuation, I must admit that I was very disappointed that we did not specifically create anything digital, not a single tool for evaluation or assessment. I would rate it 3/5

Sudjelovao sam u Erasmus + projektu pohađanjem tečaja „Nature as a fantastic classroom" u Vårdnäsu, Švedska od 15. kolovoza do 20. kolovoza 2021. godine.
Tečaj je bio organiziran od strane Outdoored.eu te je bio izuzetno dobro strukturiran i promišljen do najsitnijih detalja, iako je sve izgledalo i djelovalo spontano. Organiziran je na principu mnogobrojnih "Team Building" aktivnosti kako bi se sudionici što više opustili jer mnogobrojne igre koje nosim kući sa sobom zahtijevaju rad u par i grupi. Igre su temeljene na istraživanju, snalaženju u okolini, povjerenju i međusobnoj suradnji. Ocjena za tečaj je 5/5.
I participated in the Erasmus + project by attending the course "Nature as a fantastic classroom" in Vårdnäs, Sweden from August 15th to August 20th, 2021.
The course was organized by Outdoored.eu and was extremely well structured and thought out down to the smallest detail, although everything looked and felt spontaneous. It is organized on the principle of numerous "Team Building" activities in order for the participants to relax as much as possible, because the numerous games that I take home with me require work in pairs and in groups. The games are based on exploration, navigating the environment, trust and mutual cooperation. The grade for the course is 5/5.

Sudjelovala sam u tečaju Life Coaching for Teachers: Happy Teachers for Better Student, u Barceloni. Organizator tečaja je Europass Teacher Academy i bio je dobro strukturiran tečaj. Organizatori su bili iznimno ljubazni i svakako bih ih ponovno izabrala u odabiru novog tečaja. Predavanja su bila prilagođena potrebama i znanjima članova grupe. Naučila sam kako postaviti zdrave granice između posovnog i privatnog života te kako se nositi sa svakodnevnim umorom. Usavršila sam svoje snage kao nastavnik. Moja jedina zamjerka jest činjenica da svi članovi grupe nisu poznavali engleski jezik što je onemogućilo aktivnu komunikaciju članova grupe. Ovom tečaju dala bih ocjenu 4/ 5
I have participe in the coruse Life Coaching for Teachers: Happy Teachers for Better Student, in Barcelona. The course was organized by the Europass Teacher Academy and it was structured excellent. The organizers were extremely kind and I would definitely choose them again in a new course. The lecturers adapted to the needs and knowledge of the group. I have learned how to set healthy boundaries to cope with being overworked and maximize my strengths as a teacher.
My only objection to the course is the fact that all members within the group did not know English language, which partially prevented active communication.
The grade for the course is 4/5.

Od 2. do 7. ožujka 2020. godine prisustvovala sam tečaju Sretne škole: pozitivno obrazovanje za dobrobit i razvoj životnih vještina u organizaciji Europass Teacher Academy u Barceloni. Tečaj je bio dobro strukturiran jer nas je profesorica uputila u niz korisnih materijala na temu pozitivne psihologije. U teorijskom dijelu upoznala nas je s modelima kojima se postiže pozitivno obrazovanje u našoj učionici. U komunikaciji s kolegicama iz drugih zemalja (Poljska, Švedska, Grčka) izmijenili smo i neposredna iskustva koja imamo u radu s učenicima. Tijekom tjedna provedenog na tečaju najzanimljivije i najkorisnije bilo je vježbati tehnike kojima, kod svojih učenika, postižemo usredotočenost na rad i aktivnosti pa time i izmijenjenu percepcija vremena koju provode radeći. Vrijeme na taj način prestane biti mjerljiv element, jer su učenici udubljeni u rad, osjećaju se dobro i uživljeni su u proces rada. To je cilj pozitivne psihologije u radu s učenicima. Tečaj ocjenjujem ocjenom 5/5.
From March 2nd to March 7th, 2020, I attended the Happy Schools course: “Positive Education for Well-Being and Life Skills Development” organized by the Europass Teacher Academy in Barcelona. The course was well structured as the lecturing professor provided us with several useful materials on the subject of positive psychology. In the theoretical part, the professor introduced us to models that help achieve positive education in our classroom. In communication with colleagues from other countries (Poland, Sweden, Greece), we had the chance to exchange experiences we have in our work with students. The most interesting and useful section of the lecture was practicing techniques that allow us to achieve concentration on activities students carry out and thus a changed perception of the time they spend studying. In this way, time ceases to be a measurable element, because the students are immersed in the work, feel good and concentrate on their progress, which is the goal of the application of positive psychology in working with students. I rate the course with 5/5.

Sudjelovala sam na tečaju Dramske tehnike u nastavi u Firenci (puni naziv tečaja: DRama Techniques, Developing Self-Expression, Communication and Social Skills). Jako sam zadovoljna ovim tečajem, i što se tiče organizacije tečaja i što se tiče vođenja tečaja, a posebno što se tiče ostalih sudionika na tečaju. Svi smo bili spremni dodatno se angažirati na tečaju i razvijati svoju kreativnost te naučiti nešto više o dramskim tehnikama u nastavi. Tečaj je dobro osmišljen i obuhvaća sve apsekte dramske pedagogije u nastavi. Ocjena: 5/5
I participated in the Drama Techniques course in Florence (full name of the course: DRama Techniques, Developing Self-Expression, Communication and Social Skills). I am very satisfied with this course, both as regards the organization of the course and as regards the conduct of the course, and especially as regards the other participants in the course. We were all ready to get more involved in the course and develop our creativity and learn something more about dramatic techniques in class. The course is well designed and covers all aspects of drama pedagogy in class. Rating: 5/5

Sudjelovala sam u Erasmus + projektu pohađanjem tečaja "Education outside the classroom - learing from Sites, Museums, Monuments and Nature" u Limassolu, Cipar od 26. ožujka do 31. ožujka 2022. godine.
Tečaj je bio organiziran od strane Edculture center of education te je bio dobro strukturiran. Organiziran je na principu teorije i prakse s time da je bilo dana koji su bili posvećeni samo teoriji i onih rezerviranih samo za praksu. Teoretski dio je bio opširan, no nije toliko zastupljen u materijalima koje su polaznici dobili. Praktični dio je bio sastavljen od niza primjera zadatak koje bismo mogli upotrijebiti u nastavi. Obzirom na opširnost aktivnosti koje se mogu provoditi izvan učionice, organizatori su imali vrlo težak zadatak odabrati najzanimljivije aktivnosti. Svatko od polaznika je sigurno naučio nešto što u potpunosti može provesti u svojoj nastavi. Ocjena za tečaj je 4/5.
I participated in the Erasmus + project by attending the course "Education outside the classroom - learning from Sites, Museums, Monuments and Nature" in Limassol, Cyprus from March 26th to March 31st, 2022.
The course was organized by Edculture center of education and was well structured. It was organized on the principle of theory and practice, with days dedicated only to theory and days reserved only for practice. The theoretical part was extensive, but it is not so represented in the materials that the participants received. The practical part was composed of a series of example tasks that we could use in class. Considering the wide range of activities that can be carried out outside the classroom, the organizers had a very difficult task to choose the most interesting activities. Each of the participants must have learned something that they can fully implement in their classes. The grade for the course is 4/5.

Sudjelovao sam na tečaju „Umjetnost kao terapija“: Self-Expression and Special Needs in Art Education“ u Barceloni 02.03. - 07.03. 2020. godine.
Na tečaju sam se pobliže upoznao s metodom art terapije, psihoterapije koja primjenjuje stvaralački likovni proces kao što je crtanje, slikanje i modeliranje a koju mogu uključiti u redovnu nastavu Likovne kulture, dostupnu svim učenicima a ne samo onima s razvojnim poteškoćama.Izuzetno sam zadovoljan održanim tečajem, samim vođenjem tečaja te načinom na koji je strukturiran. Tečaj ocjenjujem ocjenom 5/5.
I participated in the course "Art as therapy: expression and special needs in art culture" in Barcelona 02.03. - 07.03. 2020
On the course I get acquainted with the method of art therapy, psychotherapy that applies a creative artistic process, such as painting and modeling and which can be included in regular classes of Art Culture, available to all students, not just those with developmental disabilities.
I am completely satisfied with the course, the way the course was delivered and the way it was structured. I rate the course 5/5.

Sudjelovao sam na tečaju: "Team-Leading in Education" na Tenerifima od 23th kolovoza to 27th kolovoza 2021.
Naučio sam kroz niz interaktivnih aktivnosti i praktičnih radionica kako promijeniti način na koji komuniciramo i kako uputiti učenike da prilagode svoje ciljeve i očekivanja u životu svojim vlastitim potrebama. Određeni sadržaji kao što su Belbin metode, primjenjivi su u mom svakodnevnom radu u vođenju razreda.
Na tečaju se radilo s metodama koje su korisne i mogu se primjeniti u razredu, no prema mom mišljenju, ti su se sadržaji mogli više uključiti i u samo vođenje tečaja kao zorni prikaz vođenja tima u edukaciji.
I participated in the “Team-Leading in Education” course in Tenerife from 23th August to 27th August 2021.
I learned through a series of interactive activities and practical workshops how to change our way of communication and learned how to teach others how to adjust their goals and expectations in life.
Certain contents, such as Belbin's methods, are applicable in my daily work as a class leader.
The course used methods that are useful and can be applied in class, but in my opinion, these contents could have been included more in the course management itself as a clear presentation of team management in education.
