After all the troubles during the migration process to the new eTwinning platform, we were able to create a new twinspace for the project and upload all the activities we have done throughout the project.

LTTA Portugal for KA226 Digital readiness for distance learning

Participants for GO! Atheneum Brakel : Katrien De Schepper, Christelle Soil, Katty De Vos, Lieselot Herremans, Carla De Pessemier en Jolien Verliefde.

Host school : INETE Lissabon, Travessa da Escola Araújo nº15, Lisboa

The entire group with a representation of 28 participants worked together in INETE school in Lisbon during this training week. We were warmly welcomed in our host school from March 6 to March 10 for even more collaboration and initiatives in digital education.

On Monday, March 6, we became acquainted with the Portuguese education system and how this school has taken care of its students during COVID, and what digital resources they have used for this.

Moodle was, among other things, the platform with which teachers gave their students digital assignments. The operation of this free platform was explained in detail and a number of assignments were ready for the group to experience how this platform works.

During subsequent workshops, under the supervision of the electromechanics students and Mr. Nirav and Jorge, we made a design of the undercarriage for a car using the Autocad program, followed by Fusion 360. Both enthusiastic teachers also demonstrated how to print different parts with 3D printer.

They also gave a demonstration with the laser and cutter.

The next day the workshops “digital tools for teaching” were on the program. Patricia and Cheila, two very dynamic Portuguese teachers, demonstrated all kinds of digital tools that can be used during the lessons: Wordwall, Animaker, Fakebook, Duolingo,Edpuzzle, ChatGPT and many other examples.

During the cultural program in Lisbon we visited Obidos, a very famous colorful fortress village with numerous alleys with small white houses painted with the typical blue and yellow borders around doors and windows. In Sintra we visited the castle and the beautiful gardens under the expert guidance of Cristina, coordinator of this project. We also visited the coastal villages of Cascaïs and Nazaré, known for its high waves and very popular with surfers. We were also introduced to typical Portuguese dishes and Fado music. During a visit to the Fado Museum in the Alfama district, we were introduced to the history of this passionate, sometimes sad music associated with Portugal.

The coordinators of this Erasmus+ project also met to prepare for the submission of the final dossier and to arrange other administrative matters. This perfectly organized and very instructive training week ended with the presentation of the certificates. INETE's teachers gave us a fantastic experience, not only educationally but also culturally, gastronomically and socially.

Participation in contest using Arduino by Greek school

 

As part of the Erasmus+ program  DIGIREDIL, during the Greek mobility, educators from the school conducted a workshop on the educational platform Arduino.The same educators utilized the produced learning materials  (presentations and worksheets) in the classroom, for the students in B class of the Computer Science sector. The students showed strong interest and expressed their desire to continue with a larger project, which was ultimately decided to be the participation of the Evening Vocational School of Giannitsa in the 4th Open Technologies Competition.

Στο πλαίσιο του προγράμματος Erasmus+ με το όνομα DIGIREDIL, κατά την ελληνική μετακίνηση,  πραγματοποιήθηκε από εκπαιδευτικούς της σχολικής μονάδας εργαστήριο πάνω στην εκπαιδευτική πλατφόρμα Arduino. Οι ίδιοι εκπαιδευτικοί αξιοποίησαν το παραγόμενο υλικό (παρουσιάσεις και φύλλα εργασίας) στην αίθουσα, στο τμήμα της Β τάξης του τομέα Πληροφορικής. Οι μαθητές έδειξαν έντονο ενδιαφέρον και εξέφρασαν την επιθυμία να συνεχίσουν με ένα μεγαλύτερο project, το οποίο τελικά αποφασίστηκε να αποτελέσει και τη συμμετοχή του Εσπερινού ΕΠΑΛ Γιαννιτσών στον 4ο Διαγωνισμό Ανοιχτών Τεχνολογιών.

Students in geology using 3-D models of Icelandic volcanos in the classroom.

 

We had students make different kinds of volcanoes in Iceland and they made a 3D model of the volcanoes and the surroundings.  Then we had another group of students studying  the models.  

The models are of different types of volcanoes who are created in a different volcanic eruption.

 

By using the model, the students can visualize each type of volcano better and understand better the formation process. 

They also had to find what kind of volcano they had and find as many they could that was the same type.
