Workshops in the STEAM classroom, a poscard lab, with the use of tablet was very didactic since all the students in a group participated. This aspect favored the interaction with teachers from all countries, so the activity was especially enriched. The workshop was led by the English teacher Raffaele Mercuri and the ICT teacher Carmen Sindorio.
Workshop with the expert astrophysicist Nino Ragussi with the cooperation of the Science and Maths teacher Maria Micheletti. This activity was aimed at learning about the work that the school does with the community and how it integrates this type of experience into its daily activities.
In teams, teachers design activities that can be carried out collaboratively in eTwinning projects.
The project kick-off meeting, in which all attendees and those from the reception school participated.
For this workshop, each school had to answer some questions in advance. Afterwards, we were shown the radio workshop. In this space, fully equipped with microphones, mixing desk and computer equipment, programs are recorded and then published. The Italian students explained to us how the workshop worked and made us participate in a podcast program, in which they themselves executed all the necessary actions to carry it out. You can listen to the result in this link.
It was particularly motivating, with the participation of students, teachers (Aurora Cusato and Daniella Raffaella Carnevale) and an expert volunteer. The partners requested prior preparation of this workshop by all partners and the activity proved to be very motivating.
