Map
Students will collaborate to create a common mind
map sharing their data collection using their tablets
and creating a mind-map (Coggle web2.0 tool).
They will be encouraged to think about the relation
between the driving question and their findings and
about their next steps, comparing thoughts and
findings while sharing them throughout their
transnational teams. (Think-pair-share assessment)
thinking. What we have here is a scenario within an
eTwinning project as an example of innovative
teaching of History and Geography, of English
language as well as Social Studies with the aid of
Europeana’s Galleries, where pupils and teachers
will have the chance to develop their abilities in the
sector of ICT.
Make
Students will use their tablets or the Computer Lab
to write, using Google drive, journal entries about
their findings and experiences, trying to answer
questions such as: -What do you see in this photo?
-What is the year that it refers? -Who is the owner?
-How it is connected with the topic of your team? -
What kind of information gives us? -Can you
compare your city's harbour with one of the photos
and find differences and similarities? Each group
has a specific assessment to do according to their
skills and interests. Each country's teacher observes
them while working and gives the necessary
advises.
Ask
Students present the first activities during an
eTwinning Live Event, give and receive feedback.
They also look at the project's process and ask for
comments from the teachers. Teacher will show
them in the Computer lab the Thinglink web 2.0
tool and explain how they can post marks of
harbours adding photos and videos.
Re-make
Students will watch what the participant countries
uploaded in the collaborative Thinglink harbours'
map of Europe. They will pay a visit to the nearest
harbour to take photos, come in contact with local
authorities to collect information adding afterwards
on the map the selected information according to
their sub-category.
Show
Students will present their work with the participant
countries during a scheduled Live Event in
eTwinning. They will, also, show the product to
their schoolmates communicating and collaborating
with their peers from abroad encouraging
interpersonal skills. After disseminating their work
and products, they will be encouraged to evaluate
the project and their work by using a rubric.
Employing this kind of scenario, students will be
encouraged to develop inquiry skills,
communication and collaboration skills, creativity
and innovation, ICT skills, as well as their critical
