About the project

The project focuses on developing digital skills with a strict connection to English language learning. The main idea of the project is to promote using technology in an educational way - i.e. for studying foreign languages. Thus, not only the computer and Internet software are used, but also tablets, iPads and smartphones students use on a daily basis. The tasks in the project are divided into two sections: a descriptive one (where students present ready-made applications for learning English) and a creative one (in which pupils work in certain applications to prepare their own content). In the project a great attention is put to collaboration between students from partner schools. Pupils prepare quizzes, tests, interactive tasks etc. in international groups. Most tasks are linked to ESL curriculum.
The project started in October 2016 and ended in June 2017.
