CEI 4 C IN EDUCAȚIA DIGITALĂ– parte din cursul COMPETENȚE TRANSVERSALE ÎN ȘCOALA CONTEMPORANĂ, realizat ca urmare a participării la activității de tip job-shadowing în cadrul consorțiului Erasmus+ al Casei Corpului Didactic, anul I de acreditare. ( formator modul : Militaru N, ambasador eTwinning si Erasmus+).

În acest modul s-a pus accentul pe modul în care proiectele Twinning duc la formarea celor 4 C- comunicare, colaborare, creativitate și gândire critică în educația digitală.

Comunicarea digitală a devenit extrem de importantă în era modernă, având un impact semnificativ asupra modului în care oamenii interacționează și colaborează. Astfel, printre beneficiile comunicării digitale găsim faptul că aceasta se face în timp real, că îmbunătățirea abilitățile digitale și productivitatea, că ne permite să colaborăm la distanță și avem acces rapid la toate materialele de care avem nevoie pentru activitatea noastră.

Colaborarea digitală se referă la procesul prin care oamenii  lucrează împreună online pentru a atinge obiective comune, pentru a crea conținut sau pentru a rezolva probleme. Aceasta implică utilizarea tehnologiei și a instrumentelor digitale pentru a facilita comunicarea, a împărtăși informații și a coordona activități, chiar și atunci când participanții se află în locații diferite. Colaborarea digitală poate avea loc într-o varietate de situații, de la locul de muncă la proiecte educaționale și de voluntariat.

Creativitatea digitală este utilizarea tehnologiei și a mediului digital pentru a dezvolta și exprima idei originale, concepte și conținut în moduri creative și captivante. Combină abilitățile creative cu instrumente și platforme digitale pentru a crea lucrări de artă, proiecte multimedia, design grafic, conținut video, muzică și multe alte forme de exprimare. Creativitatea digitală joacă un rol important în cultura digitală modernă și poate fi aplicată în multe domenii, de la arte și divertisment până la afaceri și educație.

Gândirea critică digitală se referă la capacitatea de a evalua, analiza și interpreta în mod rațional și rațional informațiile și conținutul găsit online. Aceasta implică aplicarea gândirii critice tradiționale într-un mediu digital în care există multă informație, dar și dezinformare sau manipulare. Dezvoltarea gândirii critice digitale este esențială pentru a naviga în mod eficient în era informațională și pentru a lua decizii informate și informate.

Aceste abilități nu numai că îi ajută pe elevi săi navigheze pe drumul spre succes în lumea digitală, ci îi pregătesc și pentru viața într-o societate modernă în care tehnologia joacă un rol din ce în ce mai important în fiecare aspect. Educația digitală care evidențiază cei 4C  nu se limitează la utilizarea tehnică a dispozitivelor sau a aplicațiilor, ci încurajează și abilitățile necesare pentru gândirea critică, inovare și interacțiune umană pozitivă împreună în mediul online.

ZERO POLLUTION IS OUR PLANET’S SOLUTION

About the project

About our project

The environmental issues and their impact on our life and planet require a global action from all the citizens in general and the need of a specific environmental education at schools, so that they have an active role and can be the change for the environmental conservation. For the goals to be reached, everyone needs to do their part:: governments, the private sector, and civil society. As citizens, i.e. members of a local and global community, students have a part to play to contribute to a sustainable future and to find useful solutions collaboratively to make their school, community and the world a better place to live..The project will turn around 2 main starting points for all the students involved: 1- how can we have an impact in our community to make the world a better place and contribute for a sustainable future. 2- how can we reduce water consumption, wastes and the amount of plastic in our planet and community?
The project ranges from September to May 2019

AIMS

LET’S EXPLORE EUROPE!!!

Creation of an European Tour Guide for children which will include pictures and information about the most beautiful places in country access roads, events and more useful information.

Choosing the logo- a competition among the participant countries in which students got to vote the logo they liked the best!

The main objective of the project is to share information about cities between partner schools and creating together a guide. Alos, developing key competencies to improve skills in scope of using ICT tools as well as the English and German language is another important objective of the project. What is more, the chance of being able to work together in common tasks teaches students about the importance ands responsabilities in team working tasks.

STEP 1:Pupils introduce themselves

STEP 2: Pupils talk about their school- short presentations of the participant schools.
STEP 3. Pupils invite their peers from other schools to a virtual trip to their town, they show them the main sites to visit, tell them what their town is famous for, they take their peers for a one-day tour guide around their town.

The students worked colaborativelly using Google power point documents in order to write their research on traditional dishes, important places, attractions for children and teenagers, costs, communication, etiquette and manners and important maps of the areas. They formed multinational teams and then they chose the aspects they wanted to research.

Another important product is the common document about food in which students wrote about traditional food in their countries and also their favourite food.

As collaboration is important, another pages was dedicated to the creation of a common game which included elements of culture. There are also puzzles about the capital cities and Kahoot games that children can play and learn new things while doing so.

EVALUATION

A HELPING HAND

And our project BEING E-AWARE, FEELING E-SAFE obtained the National Quality Label together with the partner school from Poland.

BEING E-AWARE, FEELING E-SAFE an E-twinning project of Romanian and Polish schools: Art High School “Ionel Perlea” and Szkoła Podstawowa w Lubeni, teachers: Militaru Nicoleta and Wilk Aneta. Students: Raluca Cirlan, Stefan Gheorghe, Ada Sima, Andrei Bracaci, Bogdan Neagu, Diana Ghita, Ivona Coman, Nora Filipoiu, Mariana Surugiu, Julia Cz, Karolina Buz, Catarzyna G, Catarzyna W,Milena D, Nadia B, Pawel W., Roksana B, Zuzia Warchol.

The aim of the project is to develop students’ awareness in scope of using digital media in a safe way. By taking part in a project activities students will get to know how to avoid risks stemming from the use of digital media.

They introduced themselves using either VOKIs or online presentations. They also wrote letters to one another and these were send by traditional post.

  Children created their code of netiquette and established the rules to be followed when one uses it.

Then, they made posters about what it means to be online. what e-awareness means to them. After each student finished the project, the others voted for the best ones.

Once this was completed, the children went on the chat room and had different talks about what e-safety means, what are the DOs and DON’Ts, what their opinions are concerning sites, blogs, games and the ways they can be safe when they are online.  At the end, their feedback on these subjects was made into a short presentation.

Then they went of the forum and they wrote their ideas for crosswords regarding e-safety and navigating on the net. These crosswords can be used during English classes on this topic.

ENGLISH PAGES FOR ALL….our new project

We found out so many interesting things so far…..

In Eastern Finland where we live children often go from door to door to wish their neighbours God’s blessing by whisking decorated and blessed willow twigs at them.

Poland has many  beautiful national parks.

These forms are in Lapland, where Santa Claus lives.

We found out about the Polish poppy seed cakes which seem to be delicious!!! It is a traditional Polish desert at Easter..

INVENTIVE WORLD OF ENGLISH VOCABULARY- an e-twinning project with Spain, Poland, Turkey, Finland and, of course, Romania.

Children explore the world of vocabulary by making pictionaries and filming dialogues using the given vocabulary. They have  the forum section where they can express their opinions on different topics.

Children created pictionaries on WEATHER, CLOTHES, FOOD AND DRINKS

These were made by the students from Spain, Finland and Poland

The project can be seen on the e-twinning portal.

We also include here various activities that we do outside the normal English class. These are different project steps or activities that we enjoy doing.

The following activity was suggested to us by  Zuzana Rynikova from Slovakia. Students choose a song from their country and make an English presentation of it. They had fun and really liked the activity.

Here is an example!

SINGER: ANDRA      SONG: FEMEIA (THE WOMAN)

I chose this song because I’m sure that it fits many women.The song is about stong women,how much love she has and her feminity  does everything in a relationship.She has an immense power to fight. She can overcome all.

Students: Birneata Alina Mariana,Dumbravu Ana Maria,Avram Afiana,Ionescu Mihaela (grade X A)

T eacher’s notes: She sings about how strong a woman can be. She is empowered by her love for the one next to her. She will always fights for what she wants. Her will is her strongest weapon. She may suffer and she may cry but she will always overcome her difficulties
