    Preparing the Italian Mobility

     

    1. Project logo contest: Each partner school should present a logo for the project. The six logos could be presented into Twin space. Either partner school should vote the other logos (not yours, like Eurovision) giving 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 points. Send votes each country to Spain Coordinator. Votes will be shared on etwinning and we could know who was the winner.

    • It could be made through gimp or canva. Maybe there are other dedicated  software.
    • Size of the Logo 500px by 500px
    • Use scalable vector graphics format (SVG) or JPG or PNG
    • If possible create a mini tutorial about how to make the Logo and upload it to the wiki in etwinning.

     

    2. Make two presentations; one about your school and city, and another presentation about region, culture, country and so on. They should be presented during the Italian mobility. You can use, Prezi or PowerPoint or whatever you want. 

    • Important: You must send all presentations to the Spanish coordinator to be uploaded into our TwinSpace.
    • It could be made a mini tutorial about how to make a presentation in Prezi by a students. If possible upload the mini tutorial to the wiki in the twinspace.

    (P3) Project event and task (March - April)

    Preparing the Poland Mobility

    1. Students in all schools prepare the activity “Be a teacher by one day” where they will have to prepare a transversal subject unit using the flipped classroom methodology to deliver during the second short-term exchange of groups of pupils. This activity will be presented during the third mobility in Poland. The activity should be composed by:

    • A video lesson using Screencast-O-Matic or the Xbox game Bar (Windows + G) or whatever you want.
    • A quiz about the video lesson to know if students understood everything. You could use the software you like.

    There are some apps and software to do this:

    1. You could use software TED-Ed https://ed.ted.com/
    2. You could use QUIZIZZ https://quizizz.com/join
    3. You could create a video lesson with youtube and then use Kahoot for the quiz.
    4. You could find out other apps or software. There many on the Internet.

    Some guidelines: The idea is that students have the opportunity to put into practice the Flipped Classroom methodology. We could have some workshops where they could present their jobs as they were teachers. 

    2. Make a video lesson about the software you used and upload it into etwinning webpage and Stanka webpage.

    3. Students share online their jobs about “Be a teacher by one day”. The idea is that students share on etwinning theirs jobs as video lessons. During Poland mobility they could decide what was the best job. 

    4. Another possible and alternative activity to the previous is that students  find out and make a workshop about other resources using the Flipped classroom methodology. For example, how to use some of the next apps into the following link: https://www.commonsense.org/education/top-picks/best-apps-and-websites-for-the-flipped-classroom 

    5. Share everything into our webpage (Stanka) (Video lessons and quizzes)

    (P4) Project event and task (May - June)

    Finishing the first year project

    1. Students and teachers analyze results and share experiences on the web-based platform and on Twinspace.


    2. Spread our outcomes and experiences to the rest of the educational community in our local schools. For instance, inviting other teachers to see the methodology used in a lesson.


    3. Spanish pupils, who will participate in the long term studies mobility in Italy, will communicate and introduce themselves to their fellow Italian students.
