The State Comprehensive Institute "Frederick II of Svevia", located in the territory of Mascalucia, hugs a part of the fraction of the population of peripheral Massannunziata and a part of the area the country's central. The town of Mascalucia is one of the largest centers and populated hinterland of Catania, with a population of around 30,500 inhabitants, has a socio-economic-cultural reality where strange citizens living guardians of old traditions and a cultural heritage handed down, together with a growing number of migrants from the nearly capital. In our school there are about 130 teachers and 1300 students aged 3-14 in pre-primary, primary and midle classrooms.There are several multimedia lab (a lot of classroom are with Lim and with tablets)a digital environment and a creative atelier for digital music. As far as our scope of work we are mainly focusing our interest in “ vertical curricula”, that describes the whole way a student accomplishes, from nursery school to secondary school, in a perspective of a “ unitary knowledge” so, some teachers use social teaching platforms and create virtual classrooms for recovery the basic sKills on italian language, on math, on english and to make a evaluation for parallel class using the methodology of open and flipped classrom. In all the classes there is a Lim and a tablet, and some are also modular organized as classes 4.0 with the presence of tablet in which many teachers use different apps such as kahoot, quizziz, padlet. learning diary, open source or windows applications to realize motivating and engaging activities for the students of the three school segments. Moreover, often in the national / international days / weeks dedicated to Coding, a series of activities of introduction to coding and computational thinking are carried out in the form of events, involving all pupils, large and small, with a fun and playful approach. From unplugged activities, with paper and pencil and challenges with Cody Roby, to courses and lessons on Code.org, to learn but above all to have fun and discover new opportunities.Among the extracurricular activities of our school there are several projects dedicated to ICT and the development of computational thinking: -With projects ECDL ( European Computer driving licence) for pupils from primary and middle school degree. -With projects of the school newspaper for pupils from secondary school degree -With a project on computational thinking "The hour of Coding« -With a project on math slkill wih spreadsheet. The digital animator, digital team and teachers with digital skills will be the powerful elements of the project, however in our school several teachers are prepared in innovative teaching using the social educatio platform, several education apps, and experiencing the time of coding so our institution can offer to the Erasmus Plus is our experience accompanied by the use of on-line educational platforms for innovative teaching and motivating.

We have one supervisor, 10 senior, 8 junior, 9 teachers and one speech therapist. . All lecturers have initial computer literacy and the desire to use digital tools and applications to achieve the identified pedagogical goals but are not confident in themselves.

We may exchange knowledge and experience on Euroepan level and this is a great value. Projects are produced in the classrooms by students in the ‘innovative ideas program’. Each class has a smart board in our school. We aim to adapt to the developing technology and integrate it into our lessons. We also have our students to use it for educational purposes. A school project team was formed at the meeting, all the teachers joined. The project team consists of 9 teachers. It was chosen from the willing teachers that they have project experiances and know foreign languages. Everyone is aware of closing all of their project work even though the task is distributed on the team. Leaving of a person does not affect the qualification of the project team. If the contact person leaves the task, Ali Haydar Ceylan will undertake this task instead of the project team. We use Student-Centered Method, Active Learning, Multiple Intelligence Theory, Cooperative Learning Method etc. during the lessons. Also product which is made by students is very important long term learning so classroom atmosphere improve education. Our teachers have experiences create stop motion animation films, web 2.0 tools.

Primary School no 1 under the name of Kornel Makuszyński in Marki is a public school for children from 7 to 14 years old. There are eight levels of education and about 700 children and 80 teachers. Levels from the first to the third are called Early Education Stage - pupils are taught different skills divided into material blocks such as: artistic, mathematical, Polish block. The foreign language which is obligatory for all children is the English language. Pupils from 10 years old are taught different subjects for example: Science, Polish, English, P. E., History, D. T., Music, Maths, I.C.T. The second foreign language which is implemented at the 7th level is German. Our school has just started to bring in coding during I. C. T. lessons for the youngest pupils - it is an element of educational programme. One of the most important motivation to join this project is possibility to gain new experiences, new ways of teaching and using technology during the lesson. As a result to improve the quality of education in the whole school. Additionally, as a newcomers in Erasmus + project we hope to expand our knowledge connected with foreign cultures and languages. This project is a great chance for the whole school community to unite and take part in a new challenge in order to make teaching and learning more profitable value. - Who will be the key people in charge of running the project in the school? In case these persons leave their post in the future, who will take over their role? We want to combine technology with language, I believe my school needs it.We took part in etwinning training about coding and we practised with our students different offline activities to prepare them for more complicated coding tasks. It was a great fun. During language lessons we like using Voice thread for practising pronounciation, quizlet, voki, tagxedo, pixton and other useful tools to master language skills. We're ready to prepare workshops to show how does it works on our lessons and we hope to get some fresh ideas from my new friends engaged in a project.
