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:
When the adventure came to an end, a day before fishing the school year, all students involved in the project were asked to anonymously answer a Google form. 48 kids out of the 52 were able to do it:
19 kids out of 48 have answered yes, it's been positive (red)
12 kids have answered yes, quite positive (orange)
11 kids have answered, yes very much (blue)
Please note that nobody has said that AI has not been useful at all and just a small minority, 6 children has said not much.
It's been very clear that children really enjoyed working together on this adventure with new friends from Africa. 36 kids answered positevely to this question.
The most voted one was to learn knew things (27 kids) followed by to learn new words in English, to find new ideas in English, and to be more ready to communicate with my friends from Nigeria in English.
Then, with 22 answers they also affirmed that AI was useful to write in English and with 21 answers to speak in English.
8 children also highlighted that AI was interesting to get feedback and comments.
Just 2 kids said they found AI not positive at all.
43 children out of 48 agreed this adventure helped them learn English. As English teachers we are so excited to see they have realized they have improved their English skills while doing way more than that, becoming real young activist with a real contextualized goal in mind: Save water, save lives.
They also mentioned (33kids) that thanks to this project they have been able to learn how to use AI and how to write good prompts. A very special and important skills that seems we all need to master in the very near future.
32 children also highlighted that thanks to this project they improved how they work in groups.
Finally, with 21 kids in boths answers, they also mentioned that thanks to this opportunity they ahve been able to make new friends and learn new things from the World.
Half of the children that voted chose the best option for this question. In which they showed that 24 children agreed that this has been a fantastic project indeed.
12 children answered "very good". 9 "good" and 3 regular.
A' sigut el millor projecte d'angles i de tots que fet. Perque m'ancantat parla amb els de Nigeria i fer un comic.
M'ha agradat moltíssim el projecte!
M'agradaria aprendre a usar molt mes l'IA per unes altres coses.
Tot ma semblat chulo tot moltes grasies per el progecte.
Que m'agradaria que sempre fer projectes com aquest. D'aquest projecte m'agradat molt la videotrucada.
M'encantat!!!voldria fer un altre projecte!!!
Vull seguir fent aquest tipus d'angles de fer videotrucada amb altres paisos fer projectes...
Gràcies a la nostre mestre d'anglès per fer i ajudernos en el projecte.
All of the families who answered the feedback form agreed that it was a FANTASTIC educational proposal.
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.
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!
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!
Participating as a researcher in this telecollaborative project between Spain and Nigeria has been one of the most enriching experiences of my career. I found myself learning constantly, about the lived realities surrounding water and sustainability in different contexts, and about the transformative power of authentic global exchanges and the inner workings of different school contexts. Also, the generosity of the teachers involved deeply moved me. The warm welcome me into their discussions, their planning and their classrooms and into their professional reflections with openness and trust, allowing me not just to observe, but to truly understand their pedagogical decisions, their challenges, and their hopes for their students.
What made the experience especially meaningful was witnessing the enthusiasm of both teachers and students throughout the project. Their energy during the collaborative sessions and the final event was contagious; it was clear that this was not simply an academic exercise, but a lived, emotional experience of global connection. After the final event, several parents approached us with tears in their eyes, expressing how powerful it was to see their children participate in an international initiative of such relevance and dignity. In those moments, the impact of the project extended far beyond research outcomes or curricular goals—it became a shared human experience that affirmed the value of education as a bridge between communities.
Being part of this project has been a genuine learning curve, one that stretched my thinking, sharpened my practice, and reminded me of the extraordinary things young learners can achieve when we trust them, guide them, and give them space to grow.
What stood out most for me was the power of teamwork. This adventure was never the work of one teacher, one classroom, or one country. It was a shared effort, carefully woven together by the project organizers, the teachers on both sides, and, most importantly, the students who brought it to life with their curiosity, energy, and creativity.
Watching the children collaborate across continents was inspiring. They navigated new tools, new partners, and new ways of learning with a level of openness that adults often struggle to match. Even when challenges appeared, technical limitations, time differences, or the natural uncertainties of telecollaboration, the students pushed forward with determination. Their willingness to try, to adapt, and to support one another showed me just how capable young learners are when we empower them.
