Virtual Education Center

Description

The 'Virtual Education Center' project is an education project designed to make learning more effective, to make educational environment more interesting, to learn by having fun, to have fun by learning. This project has been designed as a project of meeting education with real life, combining technology and education. The project arose from the need to accelerate education by avoiding , boring school environment, difficulty in learning and teaching some professions. Besides, as technology is improving schools need innovative teaching tools such as web 2 tools. Furthermore the students of today are very capable of using technology and they demand technology based learning. However, the teachers are not fully capable of using current digital tools. Besides, covid19 outbreak has deeply affected the way we normally teach. Distant education has become a necessity which requires using digital tools such as web 2 tools, virtual reality and augmented reality tools. Therefore we as a project team have decided to develop this project particularly learning and adapting virtual and augmented reality tools, web 2 tools and distant education tools to our education curriculum.The goals of the project are:- more intensive use of technology in educational environments- training from the abstract to a concrete method- fusion of real life and school education- making school more interesting and more fun- ensuring intercultural integration- ensuring the linguistic development of the participants-increasing the use of technology of the participants-adapting distant education strategies and tools-strengthening teachers' profiles by increasing their digital skills-combating with covid19 considering sustainability of educational activities The project will be coordinated by Spain. The project partners are Macedonia, Greece, Croatia and Turkey. The project covers students aged 11-19 years. The project's primary target group is about 2,000 students and 200 teaching staff from the partner schools . In addition, this figure will be around 5000 with the students in the surrounding schools. The project will last 24 months covering the period of 21.03.2021- 28.02.2023. Within this period, one-week project visits will be organized to each project partner school. The project was initially designed for teachers and students mobilites, but due to covid19 pandemic student mobilites have been removed from the project plan. Only 4 teachers or administrative staff from each project schools are going to attend Ltt activities. Each country visit will have a unique theme and activities will be organized based on this theme.

This meeting will be a meeting where all project activities and project results will be reviewed and dissemination activities are planned. In all country mobilities, some places such as factories, museums, natural places and historical places will be visited to ensure that the learning in the classroom environment is intertwined with real life. In all project partner countries, social and cultural programs will be organized within the scope of country visits. The outcomes of all mobilities will be shared within the schools of the project participating countries via seminars, conferences, practices after the completion of the mobilities.
