Comments First year In this project both computers and tablets have been used. Within the different tasks ICTtechnology have been used for searching information, writing, communication and creating. A large number of productions have been made, such as presentations, movies, flip- and ebooks. The great majority of students felt that they have improved their ICT-skills, language-skills and learnt more about European countries, culture and way of life.
Final year - students evaluation After the final year a majority of the students felt that their level of English had improved, something that the English teachers at the different project school have confirmed. Further more the students have improved their ICT-skills and knowledge about European countries. Improving computer literacy, language and learn about European countries was cornerstones in this project and therefore, according to our evaluation we reached our goals.
Final year - teachers evaluation For the teachers this project has facilitated an unique opportunity for staff training in a number of fields. All teachers, besides those who taught ICT, felt that their ICT-skills have improved. We found that everyone who already wasn't fluent in English felt that their English have improved. The way the project work have been organised in the different school has varied . In some school the project work have been integrated in classes, predominantly English and ICT, in other schools project work have been an extracurricular activity. The project have helped to motivated students to learn English and experience different cultures and learn about family life in other European countries that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. Further more, students have experienced a personal growth as individuals by meeting new people with different culture and background. This, we belive, will help to fight racism and xenophobia.
