Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2015 Newsletter

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Three months after completing the project, in
December 2014, the students of II Primary School
Čakovec were surveyed again. The goal of the
survey was to see if the project had fulfilled its
aims. 54 students of grade 5 and 8 in the school
year 2014/2015 were surveyed – the students who
participated in the project in the previous school
year and were still primary school students. The
results offer the conclusion that carrying out the
project on the theme of e-waste was justified and
that the project had a positive impact on the
students’ attitude towards e-waste.

The following example of integrating eTwinning
projects into classes of IT is the project
˝Sustainable Energy – Clean Energy for the Future˝
which was awarded with Croatian national award
Comet 2013. Students created educational and fun
materials where they presented the use of
renewable energy sources with a special emphasis
on their homeland. A videoconference was held with
partners from Spain and a joint online survey was
carried out. The project was integrated into classes
of IT of grade 6 within the units Internet, Creating
Presentations and Multimedia. Projects tasks to
develop information and communications skills and
learning about Web 2.0 tools were planned for
grades 7 and 8. In this project pupils learned how
to use Prezi, Pixton, Glogster, ProProfs flashcards,
Goanimate, Zondle, ProProfs games.
