Erasmus works

Some of the most outstanding 3rd of ESO works

Adopting the Erasmus project methodology and making it sustainable at our schools

Not only was the methodology of the Erasmus Project adopted by teachers in their daily teaching, in fact we have been using it for quite a few years and evolving with the new pedagogical trends and the development of the ITC tools we have had at our disposal. Both teachers and students have already been fostering our digital competences and Soft Digital Skills, as this kind of outputs mean teamwork, problem solving, critical thinking, entrepreneurship, empathy, cultural awareness etc.. Furthermore, gender equality has been present topic in our curricula from at least the turning of the 21st century.

Our English department has been working, at least partially, by creating competence-based projects and doing different kinds of practical works, which have improved the students’ level of English, as we could test during the mobilities. None of the 21 participants had any problem to communicate with the British students and teachers. I must say that the bilingual sections, in separate groups, played a key role in this achievement. As we can see from the projects, part of which are about English literature, culture and history, cultural or intercultural awareness has always been present.

This methodology and digital competences were the tools which allowed us to fulfil the Erasmus project efficiently, as the students did not have to do anything very different from what they had already been doing for years, apart from the topics. Here I have to say that the ITC teachers are also doing a great job, because the students’ command of the tools to create the outputs is absolutely their merit. 

In these works we can see the advances in the use of ITC tools and programs to develop new and richer creations, from the ITC point of view.
