"During this partnership we will explore innovative teaching practices regarding controversial issues using ICT and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). The controversial issues are connected to our theme Internet of People and Things (IoPaT) and can be topics such as ""Big Brother Society"" and ""Ethics on the Internet"".We have rapidly entered the age of the Internet of People and Things (IoPaT) when both we and the technology are constantly connected and online. We can take part in the lives of distant friends through video chat applications and through other social media. We can in real time follow where they are, what they do – and of course what they just ate. The IoPaT can also simplify our daily lives since we can operate and monitor household appliances and other forms of technological devices from wherever we might be. In schools IoPaT gives teachers and students an opportunity to create authentic and motivating learning situations. With IoPaT there are also risks and challenges. There is an obvious conflict with IoPaT and the right to integrity and the risk of personal information ending up in wrong hands. It is proved that for example social media causes stress because it appears that everyone else has a perfect life. With social media, it’s also easy to influence people in other ways and fake news and alternative truths are issues we need to deal with every day. Bullying is nothing new, but cyber bullying means a comment remains forever and can be heard by everyone.Our schools have become aware of how IoPaT affects our students today and how it will affect their future lives. Another aspect is that IoPaT soon will be a integrated part of the teaching. In this partnership, we will critically reflect on these issues, both with our students regarding challenges in their daily and future lives, as well as between teachers regarding how IoPaT could be a part of the teaching in a balanced way.First, we see a need for our students to develop tools to handle conflicts and controversies that come along with this such as fake news, polarization, cyber bullying and limited privacy in our lives. During our partnership, our students will work on three eTwinning cycles with various joint student tasks concerning IoTaP. We will also arrange two short-time pupil exchanges where students will work together exploring the field of IoTaP, face to face. Regarding this aspect our partnership will result in enhanced action competence to handle these issues for our students, as well as improved English skills and raised cultural awareness.To achieve this the teachers involved need to develop and exchange teaching methods and teacher skills regarding this complex form of teaching. We will arrange short-time staff training events focusing on this. We will receive joint training by experienced teachers and researches and we will work together to exchange experience and know-how about CLIL, controversial issues education and other forms of interdisciplinary methods. These activities will result in not just more competent teachers, but also new teaching methods as well as concrete student tasks to use I our everyday teaching at our schools.During the staff training events, we will also discuss thought-out manners to implement ICT-tools and IoPaT into the classrooms. Differences between our schools open up for discussions about the pros and cons which these new tools inevitably cause. Through job shadowing and reflective discussions, we can compare our different schools and with the help of the comparative didactics methods we can learn from each other and critically reflect on our own practices. These activities will result in better prepared schools that can implement IoPaT in a sound and efficient manner so the new technology will support students' learning as well as their social, democratic and personal development.Primarily, the project objective on a student level is to raise awareness of the challenges of IoPaT and equip students with knowledge and action competence. The students will develop a cultural awareness that controversial issues could be viewed from different points of view. Secondly, the objective for teachers is to expand competences to teach both CLIL and to teach about controversial issues. In the future, language skills are vital and innovative and interdisciplinary methods is the way to improve student motivation and their language skills.The third objective is to use comparative didactics in order to critically reflect on our own practices using educational ICT-tools , today and in the future"
