What do we all think about this adventure?

Students, families & teacher/researchers

There is always room for improvement and teachers should always try to find some time to REFLECT. In order to learn and be able to get the most objective and complete points of view, we asked feedback from our students but also their families about this adventure. We knew that despite the fact that all families from our schools were very open and embarked really easily to the adventure, the use of AI with young students is still something to be researched and well anyalised to see how and when should be implemented. We are very grateful to each and all of them to accept the project and allow us to learn while doing it with their children. BIG THANK YOU!

Below you are going to briefly see the main highlight of all the members involved:

Very emotional sharing this project with other kids from different countries and even different continents!

It's been very enriching.

It's been a 360º project. Kids learnt English in a fun way which also give them values while dealing with important social topics, they learn new cultures and respect them and learn how to work in a team.

Everybody think their children learnt how to use AI thanks to this adventure together

Everybody agreed it would be nice to continue doing projects like this at our school

And what teachers and researchers think about it too?

Onyemowo Ejeme, teacher and founder Oakbridge Foundation

One of the most fulfilling aspects of being a teacher is watching my pupils take charge of their learning. In this AI project, despite some limitations with technology, I loved seeing the children lead with what they had. It was incredible to watch their determination.

The pupils truly embraced teamwork. It was important to them to work together, and even when conflicts arose, they found respectful ways to resolve them and share their thoughts without backing down.

Although I would have loved to see the children from both countries collaborate on a joint final project, which didn’t happen, the individual outputs were very impressive. They put great effort into conducting their own research, engaging with the community, and asking unplanned, thoughtful questions. Those were proud moments for me.

I deeply appreciate the learning opportunities that come with teamwork. One of my favorite parts of working on this project with the education team was discovering new and different ways to approach tasks.

I am incredibly excited to take part in similar projects in the future and can’t wait to continue helping students explore, innovate, and grow through creative learning experiences like this!

Maria Mont, English teacher at the Spanish School

It’s been an intense, demanding, and highly successful learning journey! As the saying goes, "No pain, no gain." Organizing and creating this project was no walk in the park, especially given its telecollaborative nature and our desire to integrate cutting-edge resources. We wanted to equip students with the skills to navigate these innovative tools. AI has made its mark on education, and as lifelong learners and educators, we need to embrace it—exploring both its advantages and drawbacks without letting fear of the unknown hold us back.

For me, this experience has been nothing short of a thrilling adventure. I've learned a great deal alongside my students and with the support of my coordinating team. I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity, as it's a true privilege to work in an environment where innovation is welcomed rather than hindered. I’d also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire educational community for their enthusiastic and joyful participation throughout this journey.

Here’s to many more exciting projects and adventures like this one in the near future! Cheers!
