day report
At the
beginning of the program, the headmaster greeted the partners as well as the
coordinator of the Croatian team, followed by a welcome ceremony. The school
choir performed a song in Croatian and English, the students of the special
educational needs program performed the play Little Red Riding Hood, and the
4th grade students performed a dance act.
This was
followed by a tour of the school. Participants in the project were conducted by
3 Croatian students. Students in almost all classes asked foreign partners
where they come from, if they like Croatia and how to pronounce their names.
The tour was followed by a formal part.
Official
meetings were held in the library. At the beginning, the school headmaster
presented the analysis of the teacher's questionnaire, and then the computer
science teacher Ivana Primorac presented the analysis of the student's
questionnaire.
After the
analysis, we conducted a discussion in which teachers from Tahiti said that
their students have limited internet access or no internet at all. They taught
distance learning in a way that they copied the necessary materials and carried
it from student to student to their homes. Classes were also held on TV, and
they used the Pronot platform to post materials.
Teachers in
Portugal as well as teachers in Croatia have a different experience with
distance learning. Portuguese students received laptops, and Croatian students
got tablets from the state, so they could follow distance learning without
hindrance. They also had no problems with the internet, most students have high
speed internet. Teachers in Portugal, as well as teachers in Croatia, have
concluded that teaching without teachers in the classroom is not good and that
online teaching is only a necessity. In online teaching teachers need to be
more prepared, and students just do what is necessary so that the results of
online teaching were not as expected.
Turkish
students had classes on TV, they also had poor conditions while holding online
classes. Their students also did not have the conditions to work remotely. The
biggest problem was with students who have a lot of siblings, so they did not
have the conditions for live teaching to attend at home in peace. Out of 1,000
students only 100 received tablets - the poorest students.
After the
first meeting we went on a tour of the city where we saw the main sights, park,
church and fort.
In the
afternoon, we held the second part of the official meeting where the Croatian,
French and Turkish teams presented some web tools used in teaching of English,
Music and Science.
The Croatian
team presented the web tool Toontastic and how it can be used in English
language teaching.
The French
team presented how they use Padlet, Quizlez and mind maps in teaching.
The Turkish
team presented how they use various web tools such as Quizlet, Wordwall, Chegg
and Kahoot in Music teaching. In the end of their presentation, all project
participants played one Kahoot quiz and had a good time.
Portuguese
team presented the use of the web tool EdPuzzle in computer science teaching,
but also in all other subjects.
