Enriching the curriculum with ICT
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2018 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

Technology is now an integral part of everyday life and there are key skills that are imperative for children to learn that they will use in their personal and professional lives. This project is a way to begin to develop these skills with our students, preparing them for the future career market but it also offers valuable opportunities to expand our pedagogical practice and our own professional competences. As part of a staff meeting and through discussion with our Computing lead teacher we have identified as a school that we are not using the equipment we have to its fullest effect and that we want to develop staff confidence in using IT more creatively across a range of subjects.The opportunity to collaborate and learn from our European partners, will help us improve our future cooperation both as teachers and as future workers, using our languages in a meaningful way and developing our understanding of the huge potential ICT has in our lives. This project has 4 partners in England, Italy, Poland and Spain. We are all new partners and are keen to develop our skills, knowledge and understanding together.We are planning a 2 year project including teacher training and job shadowing.During the first year of the project (2016/2017) there will be a focus activity each term. In the first term teachers will participate in a course called 'Digital Classroom'. On returning from the course the teachers will develop a 'How to guide' that can be used a training tool with staff and can be shared on our etwinning webspace. This can ultimately be shared with a wider audience when we publish the space as a website. In the first year we will also work on producing digital postcards and a cartoon of a traditional tale across the partner schools.During the second year of the project (2017/2018) there will be a second wave of teachers attending training for the 'Digital Classroom'. The expectation will be that a second 'How to guide' will be produced as a training tool for staff, focusing on different skills. This will also be shared on the etwinning webspace. We will also work on producing a mini movie about day to day life in school and make a movie based on traditional dances using green screens.Assessment and dissemination are two of our main concerns whilst carrying out the project. All of the people involved, meaning parents, teachers and pupils, will evaluate an disseminate what has been done through different media. We will also carry out a clear audit of current skills/expertise across staff andpupils before the project begins and complete the same audit at the end of the project so that we have a clear measure for impact.The impact will also be visible on the work published on the etwinning space and the 'How to guides' produced for staff training. We will review our curriculum during the project to ensure skills acquired whilst we are collaborating with our partners are embedded as part of our ongoing curriculum. This will ensure that these skills continue to be taught and developed long after the project has finished. Longer term benefits are the increased confidence of staff and pupils to be creative and imaginative in their use of IT. There should be an increased use of the equipment available to staff and a tangible improvement in their confidence levels to use it.
