Erasmus+ tečaj/Course: AI for Education: Exploring the Frontiers of ICT, 2-7 June 2025, Rome, Italy
Predavač/Trainer: Leonardo Ferrara
Organizator/ Host organization: Europass Teacher Academy
Izvještaj sastavila/ Report written by: Elena Kladarić
Moje ime je Elena Kladarić i učiteljica sam razredne nastave u OŠ Pantovčak u Zagrebu. Ove školske godine radila sam na pola ranog vremena u 3. razredu te predavala nastavne predmete: Hrvatski jezik, Tjelesna i zdravstvena kultura, Likovna kultura te vodila izbornu nastavu (Dramska skupina). Pohađala sam tečaj „AI for Education“ od 2. do 7.6. u Rimu, Italija.
Odlučila sam pohađati tečaj o umjetnoj inteligenciji u obrazovanju jer smatram kako je važno biti ukorak s informacijsko-komunikacijskom tehnologijom koja se već sad oblikuje načine učenja i poučavanja. Željela sam steći kompetencije koje će mi pomoći da svrhovito integriram UI u redovnu nastavu te učinkovito komuniciram s učenicima o odgovornom korištenju UI-ja u njihovom radu.
Cilj mi je unaprijediti vlastiti pedagošku praksu, povećati motivaciju učenika te pomoći razviti digitalnu i kritičku pismenost u skladu s izazovima 21. stoljeća.
My name is Elena Kladarić and I am a primary school teacher in Primary school Pantovčak in Zagreb. This school year, I worked part-time in a 3rd-grade class, teaching Croatian Language, Physical and Health Education, Visual Arts, and leading an elective course (Drama Group). I attended the course “AI for Education” from June 2 to June 7 in Rome, Italy.
I chose to attend this course on artificial intelligence in education because I believe it is important to stay up to date with information and communication technologies that are already shaping the way we teach and learn. I wanted to gain the competencies that would help me meaningfully integrate AI into my regular teaching and communicate effectively with students about the responsible use of AI in their work.
My goal is to improve my own pedagogical practice, increase student motivation, and support the development of digital and critical literacy in line with the challenges of 21st-century education.

6. DAN – 7.6.2025., subota
Zadnji dan bio je rezerviran za kulturalne aktivnosti. Škola je u sklopu tečaja ponudila vođenu turu po rimskoj boemskoj četvrti Trastevere pod nazivom:
“Secret Rome: Trastevere Undergrounds Private Walking Tour”, a uključivala je obilazak manje poznatih povijesnih i arheoloških lokaliteta.
Obilazak je trajao 3 sata te uključivao dodatno vrijeme za povezivanje s drugim učiteljima i razmjenu kontakata.
6. DAN – 7.6.2025., Saturday
The final day of the course was dedicated to cultural activities. As part of the program, the school organized a guided tour titled:
“Secret Rome: Trastevere Undergrounds Private Walking Tour”
Participants explored Rome’s bohemian Trastevere district, discovering hidden historical and archaeological sites.
The tour lasted approximately 3 hours and offered a unique cultural and educational experience.
In addition, this time provided valuable opportunities for networking with fellow teachers, sharing ideas, and exchanging contacts for future collaboration.

Sudionici: 3. razred osnovne škole, 21 učenik
Opis aktivnosti:
1. SAT:
a) Pripovijedanje uz Invideo AI.
Korištenjem videa izrađenog preko internetske stranice Invideo AI (o kraju školske godine i aktivnostima preko ljetnih praznika) učenici prvi put samo gledaju video (bez zvuka). Tijekom gledanja drugi put, prozivam ih da naprave „govor preko videa“, odnosno ispričaju dio priče koju vide. Učenicima potom puštam video sa zvukom koji čita UI (videa na hrvatskom jeziku u besplatnoj verziji još su uvijek vidno slabije kvalitete što se tiče govora). https://ai.invideo.io/watch/aSinZVRNB8t
b) Čitanje i interpretacija pjesme „To je ljeto!“ Irene Ivetić.
c) Stvaranje plana ploče.
d) Odgovaranje na stvaralačka pitanja u udžbeniku (osmisliti pjesmu koja se sastoji samo od glagola).
2. SAT:
a) Pitam učenike smatraju li da je pjesmu Irene Ivetić moguće uglazbiti. Slušamo dvije verzije izrađene korištenjem platforme Suno:
I. balada: https://suno.com/s/BP2wgxUOOXCmDYOT
II. rock: https://suno.com/s/MGkmEca8o0hq8PfZ
b) Učenici koji žele pjevati dio pjesme se jave i izabiru svoje grupe. Ostali u grupi daju ritam te svi skupa rade verziju uglazbljene pjesme.
c) Samovrednovanje i vršnjačko vrednovanje. Na kraju sata učenici razgovaraju o svom vlastitom doprinosu grupi te doprinosu drugih, s naglaskom na kreativnost, suradnju i izvedbu.
d) Za domaću zadaću učenici dobivaju radni listić za čitanje s razumijevanjem teksta i radnog listića generiranog preko platforme Diffit.

1. ACTIVITY
Subject: Croatian Language
Grade: 3rd Grade (Primary School)
Lesson Topic: That’s Summer! by Irena Ivetić (poem)
Lesson Duration: Double lesson (2 × 45 minutes)
Curriculum-Based Learning Outcomes:
A.3.1. The student actively listens to and understands a literary text appropriate to their age and language level.
– Expresses personal impressions and emotions related to the literary text and connects it with personal experience.
– Identifies and names basic poetic devices (e.g. rhyme, rhythm, repetition).

Activity Description:
Lesson 1:
a) Video-based storytelling activity using Invideo AI.
The lesson begins with a short video (created with the Invideo AI platform) about the end of the school year and summer holiday activities. In the first viewing, students watch the video without sound. During the second viewing, students are called upon to narrate or "voice over" parts of the video, creating a story based on what they see. Afterward, the teacher plays the original version of the video with audio narration generated by AI. (Note: The free version of the tool currently provides lower-quality speech synthesis in Croatian.) https://ai.invideo.io/watch/aSinZVRNB8t
b) Reading and interpretation of the poem "That’s Summer!" by Irena Ivetić
c) Creating a board plan.
d) Creative writing activity from the textbook
Students respond to creative prompts, including composing a short poem using only verbs, inspired by the original text.
Lesson 2:
a) Exploring music and poetry – Can poetry be turned into a song?
The teacher asks students if the poem by Irena Ivetić could be set to music. Two AI-generated versions of the poem (created with the Suno platform) are played:
I. Ballad: https://suno.com/s/BP2wgxUOOXCmDYOT
II. Rock: https://suno.com/s/MGkmEca8o0hq8PfZ
b) Group musical performance. Students who wish to sing parts of the poem volunteer and form groups. Other group members provide rhythm and support as each group creates their own musical interpretation of the poem.
c) Self-assessment and peer evaluation. At the end of the lesson, students reflect on their work and assess their own and their peers' contributions, focusing on creativity, collaboration, and performance.
d) For homework, students receive a reading comprehension worksheet and an additional worksheet generated using the Diffit platform.
