Goals

They learn about regional originality of different countries. Develop skills in the use of multimedia tools in order to present photos or create photo slide presentations; improve communication and research skills. Develop our pupils’ abilities to communicate in a foreign language, share information and connect virtually.Make students aware of their local identity and its importance. Students develop their artistic skills, their creativity and originality working in a virtual team. To make students realise that we all live in one large family the EU. We are different, we have different customs, festivals, and foods but on the other hand we are the same. We all are modern people who want to live in a free society and to know about the others.

ICT toolsTwinSpace, Picasa or Flickr, Blogger, WordPress (can

be used instead of the suggested TwinSpace, otherwise we should spend time learning how to use TwinSpace and Twin Space is used by real project partners not like we are).Google doc presenatation or Slideshare presentation.

Google presentation would be nice too for us to try and share

To use the site Magazine factory to achieve an online newspaper.

Presentation may be published on slideshare.net.

Pedagogical basis Pupils can examine their own locality and compare it with those of

other places, so international collaboration can be encouraged.Move towards an education for diversity and multiplicity.Provide to pupils, the tools and flexibility needed to move from a cultural identity to another without too much fear.

Students become aware of the importance of collaborating. They discover their project partners by discovering themselves.

Pedagogical approach in this project is based on "project learning", "inguiry-based learning", "active learning", "peer-to-peer learning", “discovery learnining", "collaborative learning", "knowledge building", "connectivism", "learning-by-doing”.
