Promoting The Use Of Technology In Educational Process

Description

At least 52% of students have answered that they look for their Smartphones before even falling asleep. They are so addicted of this instruments, they are not able to live in a world without it. In their opinion a school without mobile phones has no meaning for them and their teachers too. Each responsible school have to promote a change in the way of teach or learn in the classroom, due to this advancement in technology. The use of this new technology will be helpful both for the students and the teachers.We decide to write this project to learn from each other about introducing digital instruments in the teaching- learning –evaluation process of all students. We intend to make our lessons more interactive. This collaboration between our schools is for helping each other, providing feedback and bringing up the best alternatives of a large diversity of ideas. We intend to attain the following objectives, through our projects activities:-promoting the use of technology in educational process;- enabling the teachers to apply innovative good practices in the teaching – learning - evaluation process;-increasing the teachers’ and students’ abilities in making use of the mobile apps during the learning educational act;-offering the possibility for all the teachers and students involved to collaborate and work together;- gaining / improving knowledge of mobile apps for educational purposes;-making changes in the classical practices in every school, member of this partnership.During our project we will organize 5 transnational meetings – 1 joint staff training event and 4 student exchanges. We will do the following activities: during the STE, all the partners will present 2 mobile assessment apps, including instructions for the other teachers to practice (10 assessment tools will be presented and applied during this even, and the teachers will also study a practical course about how to implement the Flipped classroom method), then, during the 4 LTTAs, 2 of the partners will present flipped lessons, providing assessment by using one of the apps already presented.We have chosen the topics for the LTTAs regarding to the students’ interests and needs, as following: LTTA 2 – Science; LTTA 3 – English; LTTA 4 – Mathematics; LTTA 5 – IT. The students and all the teachers involved in our project will discuss about the new methods, expressing their opinions about it and providing improvement, if necessary.The students in the target group are aged between 16-17 y.o, both boys and girls, a heterogeneous group with high and low achievers grades. Some of them have average financial background, others are at both ends of the cline. They all are involved as respondents to the initial questionnaire and they represent the basis for the selection of participants for LTTA2 to LTTA5.The teachers who will participate in the training event (LTTA1) are form different subjects (English, Maths / Science and IT). These teachers from the second target group will have a very important role in the transfer of knowledge to teachers in the school who participate in the next international meetings, being also part of the project team, in order to ensure their involvement during all the project.The project offers partners the chance to observe current practices in other European schools in terms of use of mobile technology, which they can transfer into their own school both through dissemination and by applying these aspects to their own teaching. Teachers will learn from each other in formal and informal contexts, will collaborate face-to-face and online, exchange ideas, practices etc. which will improve their flexibility in terms of approaches and methods. They will create lessons and use mobile apps for assessment purposes, which will increase their digital competence and self-confidence. As a result, the classes become more interactive, turning into a collaborative space, while students become more engaged in them. This can only improve the relationship between teachers and students and create a positive learning environment which benefits the entire school.We intend to attain also two kind of results of our project: a) tangibles (flipped lessons and assessment instruments, students’ collaborative work, analysis and a report produced at the end of the project about the using of new apps in the teaching-learning process, presentations of online apps by teachers in LTTA1, school presentations using online instruments, short movies made during the LTTAs, photos, feedback documents, evaluation results , questionnaires applied in the partner schools on the target group);b)intangibles ( students’ increased motivation, increased attractiveness and dynamics of classes, increased competence of teachers to use mobile apps in assessment and increased collaboration of students and teachers at European level, , improved skills and competences such as communication, intercultural, interpersonal, critical thinking, problem-solving).
