GOALS

Foreign language has been everyone's nightmare. People have difficulty even learning their own language, which is even more difficult in languages ​​they do not know at all.

In fact, if it is compared with the similarities of their own languages ​​and language education is gamified, let alone adults, even adults do not have difficulty learning a foreign language. As is known, children are an empty slab and it stays the way it is processed. For this reason, by introducing a foreign language into life, by exposing children, by scoring better in games, we implicitly teach language rules, pronunciations and word meanings

By integrating Web2 tools, that is technology, into our curricula, we aim to gamify the subjects we have covered in the lesson and to fine-tune them like lace.

      It is our greatest goal to both teach without getting tired and to make the knowledge they learn permanent by increasing their desire to learn.

• Introducing partners: Teachers from different cultures in different countries come together and learn about the project's purpose and objectives.

• Orientation: It is important that students are included in the project from the very beginning and a sense of ownership in them. The aim is for them to take responsibility and responsibility in eTwinning. Students are asked what their expectations are at the beginning of the project. Students will see this project verbally as a writer and realize that their opinions are given importance. They will notice what is valuable. They will even watch their progress gradually, gradually.

• Communication: e-Twinning consists of classrooms without walls. Students will meet their peers from different countries and can learn about their different adoption potential. Teachers will also ensure their personal development by brainstorming.

• Collaboration: Students will learn all the missing parts of collaboration by using different web2 tools. A partner's students will also receive gifts from their students and hiss enough as the additives come out.

• Assessment and evaluation: Students, as teachers and parents, will have the opportunity to express their opinions and make suggestions about activities. The results of the evaluation will help to build better in the future.

• Follow-up: When the project is finished, there is an opportunity to disseminate the results achieved to different school communities. It will be shared at the important point of the project and in this way; Students in the project will hiss their recognition. Sharing the project outcomes will also have a positive impact on the development of eTwinning in the school and the growth of the eTwinning team.

ICT tools - web 2 tools

It is very important to be fully informed on what and when to use.

http://teachersgodigital.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ETWINNING-AND-ICT-TOOLS-1.pdf

Our project has used a variety of web2 Tools in order to manage a productive outcome.

What are Web 2.0 Tools? These tools are internet tools that allow the user to go beyond just receiving information through the web. The user is expected to interact and to create content with others. Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter are examples of Web 2.0 tools. Web tools can be used to enhance teaching and collaboration among teachers and students as well as increase professional collaboration between educators.

Here are examples of Web 2.0 Tools that are currently being used in MPS: MPS Google Drive. Share and archive documents. Collaborate. Create forms. Build spreadsheets. Post presentations. With Google Drive you really don't need MS Office anymore. Plus, working with others is suddenly seamless. Imagine the classroom possibilities afforded with real-time collaboration!

Edmodo provides teachers and students a secure place to connect and collaborate, share content and educational applications, and access homework, grades, class discussions and notifications. Our goal is to help educators harness the power of social media to customize the classroom for each and every learner.

Office Tools

Oh sure, you have a stapler, a copier, and access to other tools. But, what if you could gain access to file converters, presentation tools, and other management resources from almost any computer? Or if you could download some tools and use them from your computer at any location? These tools could make your life a little easier or at least help you out of a jam.

30 Boxes: 30boxes is a calendar tool that has the extra feature of allowing you to track headlines from RSS Web feeds. You can add your calendar to Google's Blogger or to your Facebook page. Share it with friends, family, or with students who need to know when that project is due.

Meetings or reminders can be set by dragging their instance onto a calendar and into a time based schedule.

What's nice is that these blogs are free to use, although some may be free to specific groups of educational professionals or learners. And, these content management systems range from very, very easy to use to somewhat sophisticated (that is, you might need to know some code for installation or maintenance).

WordPress: This tool is free, and you can set it up on a personal Web space or use the free spaces offered at this site. WordPress is known for its excellent community support.

Storage

Nothing beats a backup for storage; however, when you need to share files or if you need to gain access to files from another computer, online storage and transfer is the way to go. However, we don't suggest uploading student test papers to grade on vacation in the Bahamas. That's counterproductive.

4shared: Teachers can enjoy 15GB of free storage space with 4shared.

Diino: The 2GB free account is limited to two users logged in at the same time.

Integration in the curriculum

An integrated curriculum allows children to pursue learning in a holistic way, without restrictions imposed by subject boundaries. The curriculum includes reading, writing, listening, speaking, literature, drama, social studies, math, science, health, physical education, music, and visual arts. The curriculum also incorporates investigative processes and technology. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining partnerships with families; having knowledge of children and how they learn; and building upon the community and cultural context.

The project My World My Life has focused on Integrated teaching and learning processes that enable children to acquire and use basic skills in all the content areas and to develop positive attitudes for continued successful learning throughout the learning process.

We have focused on developing children’s attitudes, skills, and knowledge and helping them make connections across the curriculum

We have created activities

1. that provide for a range of abilities;

2. that are both teacher-initiated and directed and child-initiated and directed

3. whole class, small group, and individual experiences

4. opportunities for critical and creative thinking

5. teacher, peer, and self-assessment

6. opportunities to experience learning as a meaningful whole

Therefore we have managed to integrate English language learning with geography when identifying our countries on the map. We developed arts and craft skills when we designed our logos and posters. We made use of IT skills for learning how to creat digital content. We learned Turkish and Romanian languages when we created the dictionary.
