ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

A high percentage of students completed all the good practices in unit 5. The three most performed were: "Following your steps" (89.8%), "Virtual costumes" (85.7%) and "What a dilemma!" (83.7%).

The best practices rated by students were "What a dilemma!" with 26.5% and "Virtual costumes" with 22.4%.

On a scale of one to four, with one being "a little" and four being "a lot", the students rated aspects such as motivation and their general view of the topic. We can conclude that 88% of the students felt very motivated and in general rated the subject positively.

Positive aspects include that they have learned a lot, they feel safer when surfing the Internet, the activities are appropriate to their age, they have enjoyed the cooperative group tasks, they feel they have improved their English language skills, they have met new peers from other countries, they have new tips on the topics they are putting into practice (taking care of their own and others' privacy; identity theft), they are more careful in the use of their social networks and their personal data. 

Among the difficulties, they point out those related to technological problems (Internet connection), language, or problems related to agreements or decision-making when working in groups. Of the latter, they commented that they were able to solve them successfully on their own. A very high percentage of students did not encounter any difficulties in the development of the activities.

Finally, they were asked to comment on changes they would make to improve good practice and suggest that there should be more games.

They conclude that working in collaborative projects makes the tasks easier and more fun. Overall, the unit has been very interesting.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

The questionnaire was mostly answered by teachers in the role of project coordinators. The most developed good practices were the following:

- Take the bait (83,3%).

- Following your steps (66,7%).

- Virtual costumes (66,7%).

- Turn on your traffic light (66,7%).

The best practice rated by them was "Turn on your traffic light" (33,3%).

On a scale of one to four, where one is "a little" and four is "a lot", they evaluated aspects such as the degree of adaptation of the activities to the age of the students, organisation of the activities, objectives, contents, timing, resources, materials, intrinsic motivation, and general perception of the unit. According to the results obtained, we can conclude that the activities were very appropriate for the age of the students (66.7%) and they were well organised and clearly explained. The objectives and contents of the unit were highly successful, and the planning was correct. The resources and materials offered were very useful (66.7%) and they felt quite motivated in the teaching-learning process. From zero to ten, in general terms, the unit scored 8.33.

Among the positive aspects, they pointed out that the way the activities were set up was a good way to start conversations about the topics under study. The pupils were creative, adapted to the different situations and their knowledge had increased. They felt that both the students and themselves have learned together through the mediation of the technologies. The activities showed the pupils' talents and reminded them of important aspects of everyday life.

With regard to difficulties, they pointed to the lack of motivation of some students and lack of time on other occasions, the language, and the difficulty some students had in answering the questions as they did not have mobile phones.

The suggestions are aimed at providing more time for the activities.

They concluded that the project was engaging and developed a range of skills in the students such as flexibility and adaptability; communication and collaboration. The topic was interesting for both teachers and students. The students were really moved by the good practices, they were interested in the cybersecurity challenges, and even the parents had many questions about safe use of the Internet. During the time of the unit, everyone improved their digital competences, making much more use of online learning.
