UN CORTOMEGRAJE PARA EL FESTIVAL DE CINE DE L'ALFÀS DEL PI: EL USO DE LAS TIC EN EL AULA PARA LA MEJORA DE LAS COMPETENCIAS BÁSICAS
Date du début: 1 juin 2015, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The pre-primary and primary school Veles e Vents has a great interest in improving the quality and efficiency of education, an objective which is included in the Europe 2020. With this purpose, and taking into account the encountered needs, the school has put forward a project that can generate an improvement in the areas of new technologies applied to education, competence in a foreign language, and awareness of the European dimension. In this way, we intend to obtain a greater quality in education through the use of ICT, which in turn will result in the increase of linguistic competence and European dimension. Our school has been part of a web of multilingual centres of the Comunidad Valenciana for six years, and has been teaching a non-linguistic subject through the CLIL methodology for four years. Thanks to the experience and the competences acquired by the teachers in this kind of methodology, we have obtained a baggage that we intend to widen and perfect through the use of ICT applied to education. The school will address an important budget to the purchase of the necessary material (15 iPads) to obtain the expected objectives. But our methodological needs are greater, and this is the reason why, in order to carry out a training activity on the application of new technologies in the classroom, we want to send two of our qualified teachers in foreign language teaching to Dublin during the second half of July. So as to make the most of the training period, the chosen teachers will have to have a minimum level of B2 (CEFR) in English, a minimum knowledge on ICT, and to have a permanent position in the school. These teachers will carry out a series of preparatory activities for which we have already established contact with the Apple Centre in Valencia. The training course will be addressed to teachers that are interested in incorporating new technologies to education. It will allow the teachers to learn about new methodologies related to teaching, to create ICT resources for the teaching-learning process, and to learn about image and sound edition. The use of these digital resources will foster the development of competences in linguistic communication, in science, in mathematics, etc. Furthermore, it will allow teachers to contact colleagues from other European centres, and spawn future collaboration relationships. On their return, the teachers will start to apply the knowledge acquired during the training period to their lessons. The activities carried out by the children will be displayed in the school website, in the teachers' personal blogs, and in a highly visible point in the school hallway. Platforms such as YouTube and eTwinning will be used to post the students' work on the Internet. Throughout the month of October of 2015, workshops will be organised for our school teachers, for teachers from the other schools in town, as well as for other teacher training organisms. These workshops will be focused towards diffusing the new techniques, methodology and knowledge acquired in the training course. Teachers will in turn share the new knowledge with their students. Thanks to this transmission of knowledge, the students from our school as well as the students from other schools will, in the long run, benefit from the experience. From the month of November onwards, the school will start sharing their first project-related activities via eTwinning with the partners that we have at present, as well as with the contacts established during the stay in Dublin that have the same needs and concerns as we have. The activity that will give an end to the project, and which will encompass all that has been learnt during its implementation, will be the recording and editing of a short film by the students, with the iPads and the technological strategies acquired. Due to this activity, the results of the project will be widely spread inasmuch as the film will be presented to the National Cinema Festival of l’Alfàs del Pi, which is a festival with an important media impact at every level. With the fulfillment of this project we intend to increase the motivation of the students in the different areas through the use of ICT in the classroom. This motivation will lead to better results which will be observable thanks to the comparison of the assessment tests of the year 2015-2016 with the tests of the previous year. We aim to achieve a structural change in the methodology of our school that can endure in the future. Thus, we aspire to turn our school into a referent in our area with regard to teaching via ICT and to foreign language teaching methodology, as well as endow the school with a strong European character.
