Summary of the International Exchange
Summary of the International Exchange
The participating schools and their teachers are in need of joint collaboration and help each other with curriculum building in the digital age, improving teaching strategies and language development in these difficult times is more important than ever. Maintaining contact between students and teachers across partner schools through mobilities is key to sustaining the covid-19 pandemic without disruption. Therefore In this partnership, we have decided to help each other to prepare for digitalisation by training our teachers for VR classroom delivery and testing the technology at all partner schools into daily lectures in specific subjects. The second priority is also to enhance the English language skills of the educators, especially in the Czech and Finnish schools so that they are confident to deliver lectures in the main European language. We aspire to make participating schools European places where students have European and global understanding of the subjects and teachers are able to provide them with this form of education.
The priorities of this strategic partnership are:
Innovative practices in a digital era.
Supporting the uptake of innovative approaches and digital technologies for teaching and learning.
Initial and continuous professional development of VET teachers, trainers, and mentors in both school and work-based settings
Participating teachers were exchanging their best practices from subjects at each school which are Arts, Maths, English, and Science. Every subject will be delivered once in the VR classroom physically.
The participants created unique materials for use in VR classrooms from each subject as an open educational resource. These can be primarily used by organisations in the project, but the results are available to the public for further use. The results of activities throughout the project will lead to easier application of virtual reality in distance learning at participating schools.
