Pöllönkangas school is a comprehensive school in the city of Oulu . There are c. 500 students (6-16 years) and about 40 teachers at our school. During the past few years we have focused on two big themes: "Finnish School on the Move" and "Eco-Schools Programme". At the end of last year we were awarded the Green Flag. We want to continue promoting sustainable development issues and the physical activity among school-aged children. Further more we concentrate on ICT skills and new learning environments. We still have insufficient ICT equipment but this state should improve after renovation. We just got our first 16 iPads for teaching. So the need for training is huge. The pupils are getting more heterogeneous and more tools and ideas are needed to create individualized teaching. The pupils are digitals natives and learn languages, particularly English, on the net and by playing games. Teachers need to brush up and update their skills in an authentic atmosphere among native speakers of English. It is important to attend courses around Europe to get contacts for new KA2 and eTwinning projects. And while gaining new skills teachers get more confident with their language abilities and become more active participants in future projects. The training courses selected are all included in our main themes: recycling in art, Eco-Schools, sustainable development, environment protection, use of ICT and technology in teaching and language courses (English and Spanish). The aims are to develop pedagogical competence and ICT skills, to get familiar with new learning environments and to raise teachers' and students’ awareness of environment. The emphasis will shift from a teacher-centered environment to a learner-centered one. There are seven of us applying and we have worked as a team filling in the application and preparing materials that tells eg. about our school and the Finnish school system. We are going to plan two questionnaires: a pre-course one to be filled in before attending a course (monitoring one's teaching and setting the targets for training) and another for evaluating the course afterwards. After the teacher training the teachers will arrange workshops for colleagues spreading and sharing new ideas and methods and thus getting the most out of the courses. The courses bring new content to our curriculum, too. Our Erasmus team will publish some information of the project on the school's website and start a blog linked to our website. We will write articles and publish them on the intranet of Oulu city and try to get them published in the local papers, too. We hope that the project will lead our school to a more carefully planned use of new technology and to new innovative ways of teaching where the focus is on pupils and braver usage of new learning environments. In addition, we believe that the "Eco Schools" themes and sustainable development will be normal daily routine in our school work in the future. Digitalisation would lead to easily updated teaching materials and thus would make us a paper-free school.
