Let's document our learning - an online magazine with Joomag
Description of the activity
​
Active learning and peer – to –peer cooperation is the main methodology for LTT. Students of six different countries will communicate in English and
cooperate in pairs and groups, during workshops and later via internet, which will lead to development of 21st century skills: communication,
creativity, collaboration, critical thinking. WEB 2.0 tools and 21st century skills used in the classroom will spell success for our learners in the future,
winning greater capability as independent and curious individuals. Peer-to-peer cooperation means that pupils will be taught by pupils with teachers
from 6 European countries preparing the pupils for this task and supporting them in the implementation, Teachers therefore have to take on new
challenges, have to develop new ways of working and learning and have to live up to these new expectations. The pupils will learn to act
independently and responsibly. All these collaborative and language skills are highly important in today's labour market.
During the meeting in Turkey students will work in teams and take take part in workshops on using web 2.0 Internet tools in the classroom, where
they can try their skills and abilities.
Teachers and students will set up accounts on Joomag Internet tool. Students will create a common magazine with pictures of project
activities and articles.
Teachers who attend the meeting as accompaning persons to students actively participate in workshops together, get trained and familiar with new
tool. After return they are responsible to implement new tools and project tasks to lessons and school curriculum.
