This project idea came out when the smart boards settled in our classrooms three years ago and supported by the delivery of the tablets last year. Seeing some misusing of these devices or being lack of the technology skills we needed to recommend teachers to attend some courses on these subjects by using the opportunity for school education staff mobility under Erasmus+ programme.Some of our teachers had heard about the innovative method "tablet-oriented flipped classrooms" when they joined seminars and conferences abroad, focused on using technology in the educational field , youth and pupils on the net. And They offered to learn and implement this new learning and teaching method in our school. The whole school staff agreed and decided that the only way to learn and to implement this innovative method is to join an international training course relevant to this topic. Our goal is: teachers become more confident and competent with technology appropriate to the classroom, so that they can create the ultimate collaborative, interactive classroom of the twenty-first century and ultimate enhance the teaching and learning experience for all learners.This project focuses on the use of language and ICT skills and tablet app. as an educational tool in classrooms and at home as well.. The main goal is to improve the skills and enpower the usage of the skills. This Learning Event aims to show to teachers how they can encourage their pupils to use mobile devices in learning. The target audience is mainly teachers who want to explore the possibilities with the use of mobile devices, such as smartphones. Other targets are students and their parents. During the event we will learn mobile educational applications that pupils can use in and out of the classroom, close the gap between the devices that pupils have and that are not properly explore in educational contexts, promote news ways of teaching and learning and alert teachers to integrate the use of this devices in eTwinning projects.The most important goal of the project is to prevent the early school dropping by the help of using innovative learning and teaching methods at school.
