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.
