1. INTRODUCERE Asteptarile in cee ace priveste educatia s-au schimbat. Strategia Europa 2020 specifica aceleasi scopuri in ceea ce priveste parasirea timpurie a scolii si frecventarea educatiei superioare. In 2013 Comisia Europeana lanseaza 'Opening up Education' pentru deschidere spre inovare si competente digitale in scoli. In 2012, 12.7% din cei de 18 pana la 24 ani nu finalizasera liceul (din raportul UE TWG despre ESL). Multi elevi nu sunt incantati sa invete, deoarece nu-i vad rostul. Elevii au nevoie sa vada ca cee ace invata este relevant pentru ei. Programa scolara trebuie sa faca legatura intre ce invata elevii in clasa si ce au invatat deja. Elevii vor sa conecteze ce invata nou cu lumea din afara clasei. Predarea se poate axa pe problem reale, pe care elevii le vad importante. In lumea de azi, informatia si cunostintele sunt in crestere. Nimeni nu poate invata tot despre orice subiect, ceea ce poate parea adevarat azi s-ar putea dovedi a fi fals maine, si slujbele pe care elevii le vor avea cand vor fi absolventi s-ar putea sa nu existe inca. Din acest motiv, elevii trebuiesc sa fie invatati cum sa proceseze, analizeze, si sa foloseasca informatia, si ei au nevoie de competente adaptabile pe care sa le aplice in toate zonele vietii realeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;doar sa le predam idei si fapte, fara sa-i invatam cum sa le foloseasca in viata reala, nu mai este de ajuns. Toate tarile Europene si-au reformat programa lor in ultima decada spre un invatamant care are in vedere rezultatul. Asta inseamna ca in loc sa urmatim doar continutul obiectului predate de profesor, sa contina afirmatii care sa rezume ce trebuie elevii sa stie, sa inteleaga sau sa fie capabili sa faca intr-o anumita etapa a procesului de invatare a obiectului de studiu. In ultimii ani, reformele programei in multe tari s-au axat pe aducerea acestei competenteâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; bazata pe abordare mai aproape de predarea competentelor cheie. Aceste competente cheie sunt alcatuite din aptitudinii de baza si transversale. Statutul aptitudinilor de baza (limba si comunicare, matematica, stiintele), ca si limbile moderne, este bine stabilit, promovarea aptitudinior trasversale (IT, aptitudinii civice si atreprenoriale) sunt ramase in urma. Scolile trebuie sa se adapteze si sa dezvolte noi moduri de a preda si invata care sa reflecte o lume in schimbare. Scopul scolii trebuie sa fie sa pregateasca elevii pentru a avea succes dupa ce termina scoala. Profesorii trebuie sa foloseasca timpul in predare pentru ca elevii cum sa gaseasca, sa interpreteze, si sa foloseasca informatia, decat sa foloseasca cel mai mult sau tot timpulpentru a prezenta informatii.

P a g e 1 | 188 Erasmus+ 2015-1-BG01-KA219-014218

Sa punem proiectele in programa Profesorii trebuie sa integreze TIC in invatarea centrata pe elev. Lumea online schimba modul in care educatia dispune de resurse, este oferita si placuta. In urmatorii 10 ani, piata eLearning este proiectata sa creasca de cincisprezece ori, reprezentand 30% din intreaga piata a educatiei. Traim in societati conectate, unde din ce in ce mai multi oameni, de toate varstele folosesc technologii digitale in viata lor de zi cu zi. Oricum, cand multi copii merg la scoala, ei intra intr-un sistem care nu reflecta aceasta realitate de zi cu zi. In toate tarile Ministerul Educatiei vede alfabetizarea in media digitala ca esentiala pentru succesul in societatea globala. Dar cei mai multi profesori nu au incredere in tehnologie precum si in aptitudinile lor in cee ace priveste tehnologia. De aceea consolidarea integrarii digitale in invatare si predare este atat de important. Invatarea pe tot parcursul vietii si competentele digitale pentru profesori sunt prioritati ale sistemelor de educatie. Multe examene din ultimii doi ani (precum PISA) arata nivelul scazut al elevilor competentele in matematica si interesul foarte scazut la obiectele de studiu stiinte. Astfel de problem pot fi vazute si la alte obiecte de studiu. Un alt caz in ceea ce priveste predarea traditional in scoala. Predarea in scoala a plasat invatarea traditionala in categorii de obiecte de studiu cu etichete precum Matematica, Biologie, Engleza si altele. Aceste impartiri artificiale pun accent pe diferentele dintre obiectele de studiu mai mult decat pe asemanarile dintre ele. Aceste impartiri lasa elevii sa faca ei insisi legatura dintre notiunile invatate si lume. Unii elevi nu se pot adapta la a face aceste conexiuni transdisciplinare. De aceea procesul de predare invatare in scoala trebuie sa se axeze pe dezvoltarea acelorasi teme la mai multe obiecte de studiu. Proiectele scolare pot ajuta in aceasta privinta. Profesorii pot implementa proiectele scolare in programa scolara. Abordarile interdisciplinare in predare sunt sprijinite de guvernul Bulgar si sunt parte obligatorie a " Cerintelor sistemului de stat educational in ceea ce priveste invatamantul", in special component cultural si educationala "Stiinte sociale si educatia civica". O alta problema sociala este ca elevii folosesc mult timp pentru a juca jocuri sis a discute in retelele sociale. Profesorii trebuie sa invete elevii sa foloseasca PC/tabletele/Smartphon-urile nu numai pentru a se distra, dar sa resolve problem reale. De aceea ei pot folosi TIC pentru a lucre in proiecte. Pentru a face asta profesorii trebuie sa puna accent pe competentele lor digitale si sa-i invete noi metode. Putem rezuma ca: -

Predarea trebuie sa creasca motivarea elevilor sa frecventeze scoala si sa reduca abandonul scolar timpuriu.

Predarea transdisciplinara este o abordare importanta inovativa.

Exista nevoia de a imbunatati frecventa tinerilor si a aptitudinilor lor de baza si trandisciplinare.

Elevii si profesorii sa-si sporeasca TIC si competentele digitale.

Scopul nostru este ca acest Manual sa ofere profesorilor o idee, cum sa-si imbunatateasca educatia clasica folosind PBL- invatarea bazata pe proiecte, predarea transdisciplinara si sporirea invatarii TIC si dezvoltarea competentelor digitale, astfel incat sa scada abandonul scolar. In acest Manual veti gasi seturi de lectii, dezvoltate de profesori din cele sase tari din proiect. Ele va vor indruma cum sa implementati activitatile proiectului in predare. Credem ca aceasta abordare va spori competentele de baza si transdisciplinare si abilitatea lor sa vada toate obiectele de studiu ca un set de idei cu legaturi intre ele. Am hotarat sa dezvoltam cercetarile noastre intr-un exemplu, intr-un proiect scolar. De ce am ales un proiect eTwinning ? Deoarece eTwinning is modern si o comunitate a scolilor din Europa care se dezvolta foarte rapid Anul trecut (2016 ) eTwinning a sarbatorit 10 ani. Platforma eTwinning pune la dispozitie o moderna, sigura si gratuita e-platform pentru profesori si elevi cu o varietate de unelte online, precum Evenimente Live, TwinSpace-ul proiectului, Chat rooms sigure etc. Numele proiectului nostru eTwinning este â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sa discutam despre mancareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Cautam o problema, pe care elevii o vad importanta. Aceasta poate fi elevi supraponderali si nevoia unui stil de viata sanatoasa. Pentru a rezolva problema scolile pot crea elevilor obiceiuri de nutritie sanatoasa, sa stie mai mult despre nutritia sanatoasa si sa deprinda cateva aptitudinii simple despre gatit. Idea noastra a fost, tema sa fie examinata sub diferite aspecte si implementata in obiectele de studiu. TIC/tehnologia mobila si competentele digitale sunt unelte. In acest Manual puteti gasi find Planuri de lectii pentru - Biologie, Chimie, Matematica, IT, English, Literature/&Drama si Sport. Am incercat sa grupam cateva lectii ca un set de lectii sis a le prezentam intr-o abordare interdisciplinara in sugestiile noastre. Experti de la Universitati din Umea, Craiova, Sofia si Atena au fost implicate in acest studiu. Ca parti interesate au fost implicate autoritati nationale si locale din domeniul educatiei, institutii de sanatate, si asociatiile parintilor din toate tarile din proiect.

2. DESCRIEREA PROIECTULUI ETWINNING OBIECTIVELE PROIECTULUI

1. Parintii si familiile elevilor participanti vor afla mai mult despre nutritia sanatoasa, stil de viata sanatos si schimbarea obiceiurilor de nutritie. 2. Elevii vor sti cum si vor incepe sa foloseasca dispozitivele mobile in invatare. 3. Vor spori competentele â&#x20AC;&#x153;de baza si trandisciplinareâ&#x20AC;? si capacitatea lor de a vedea toate obiectele de studiu ca un set de idei interconectate. 4. Vor spori competentele digitale si TIC ale elevilor si profesorilor.

DESFASURAREA ACTIVITATILOR Un proiect care se va desfasura pe doi ani. Numarul scolilor partenere poate varia, dar prea multi parteneri ar complica managemantul proiectului. - Schimburi de E-mail-uri intre scoli. - Aplicarea pentru proiect eTwinning. - Crearea unei paginii Facebook pentru o diseminare ami buna a rezultatelor proiectului. - Organizarea unui Baseline Survey - Rezultatele ne vor ajuta in planificarea si masurarea impactului Va ajuta elevii sa-si dezvolte competentele de a lucra online poll/quiz. Pentru rezultate mai bune profesorii pot folosi online tool pentru a alcatui intrebarile. Ei pot folosi Tricider (www.tricider.com) pentru a gasi diferite intrebari. Sugestia noastra este pentru trei baseline surveys: o 1 quiz despre 'slow' food si stil de viata sanatoasa. o 1 quiz ce cred elevii despre modelul clasa traditionala si comparatia cu modelul flipped classroom , invatarea bazata pe TIC, abandonul scolar si motivele acestuia. o 1 online survey pentru profesori/parinti ce cred ei despre predarea folosind invatarea bazata pe TIC. - Competitie online pentru logo-ul si sloganul proiectului. Echipe mixte, elevii vor colabora online. Sugestia noastra este sa incarcam toate logo-urile, create de elevi in Tricider. Apoi sa lasam elevii sa adauge comentarii, sa-si exprime paperea si sa voteze. - Amenajarea unor spatii ale proiectelor si informatii pe un ecran in fiecare scoala. Toate informatiile pot fi online, dar spatial proiectului este ceva ce elevii si vizitatorii il pot vedea chiar si atunci cand internetul sau electricitatea sunt oprite. Page 4 | 188 Erasmus+ 2015-1-BG01-KA219-014218

Sa punem proiectele in programa - Prezentati activitatea proprie. Sugestia noastra este sa folositi Padlet. Puteti crea pe www.padlet.com un panou interactiv unde elevii vostri pot publica texte, fotografii sau filmari video. O alta optiune este folosirea Forum de pe TwinSpace-ul proiectului pentru aceasta activitate. Numele forumului poate fi ‘Nice to meet you’ si fiecare elev poate publica un tread cu numele sau. Ceilalti pot incarca comentarii sau ‘likes’. - Schimb de 'Taste' felicitari de Anul Nou. Aceasta activitate poate fi interdisciplinara in predarea obiectelor de studiu Arte si TIC. - Vocabularul tematic ‘Tasty Vocabulary’ in toate limbile proiectului si in Engleza. Colaborarea online intre scoli. Elevii pot lucra pe un spreadsheet (poate fi Google Spreadsheet sau shared spreadsheet din Office 365). Este bine daca elevii creaza imagini pe care le vor folosi pentru Vocabulary design, nu doar sa ‘copy’ si ‘paste’ de pe Internet. Distribuirea online pe Issuu. O idee interesanta este sa incerce sa creeze e-book cu cateva din free e-tools (Calibre, ePUBee Maker, Sigil sau alte tool). Tmpul sugerat pentru aceasta activitate este de doua luni. - Competitia de eseuri online - 'The bread - symbol of life'. Lectii de limbi moderne This can be very interesting -

way to learn how to write an essay. IT lessons – students can work on their essay to

develop ICT skills for word processing. - eBook 'Tasty Nutrition Guide', available in all project languages. Students will make researches about typical dishes from national cuisine. They will analyse the nutrition value and create tables and charts. All suggested dishes will be collected in one book. - Webbinar 'Can healthy food be cheap? This activity can be organized as a live event on the project TwinSpace. Dissemination of the project activity is very important part of the project. Students can share information not only on TwinSpace or Facebook, but also on other types of Medias. They will be better motivated for language lessons with topic "The texts in the media sphere function and structure".

Project Activity (summary): 1. Creati un ‘Tasty Nutrition Ghid”. – Elevii trebuie sa cerceteze despre mancaruri traditionale, nationale, care este valoarea lor nutritionala si cat de sanatoase sunt. Vor cerceta ce inseamna slow cooing si traditiile Bulgaresti in aceasta metoda specifica. Elevii isi vor largi cunostintele in lectiile de Biologie si Chimie. 2. "Prepararea mancarurilor traditionale Bulgaresti”. Aceasta activitate combina notiuni cu abilitati practice. Elevii vor pune in practica ce au invatat din cercetarile lor pentru ‘Tasty Nutrition Ghid’. Profesorii si elevii vor gati cateva mancaruri traditionale Bulgaresti. Activitatea aceasta o vor desfasura in scoala, in camera special amenajata cu echipament de bucatarie. Inainte de activitate elevii vor studia la orele de limba Engleza cum sa explice procesul de gatire. Ei stiu deja multe cuvinte, din activitatea ‘Crearea unui ‘Tasty Vocabulary”.

Sa punem proiectele in programa 3. Diseminarea activitatilor proiectului. Unul dintre cele mai importante lucruri pentru fiecare proiect este sa distribui informatii despre munca. Elevii trebuie sa stie cum sa scrie un articol pentru ziare, pentru radio, television sau Internet. Elevii trebuie sa cunoasca diferentele in cee ace priveste diferitele mijloace media. Asta vor studia in lectiile de limba Bulgara si limba Engleza.

Inter-subject connections: Acest set de trei lectii prezinta cum profesorii de la trei obiecte de studio diferite pot folosi activitatile proiectului sa schimbe exemple folosite in scoala in lectii cu cerinte din proiectul eTwinning. Lectiile sunt pentru elevii din clasele a 9-a, dar pot ajuta toti elevii cand vor trebui sa-si promoveze sau sa publice informatii. Cronologic, in acest set elevii vor incepe cu lectia de Limba Bulgara si Literatura ‘Textele in sfera media - Functii si Structura’. Tema de rezolvat face legatura intre lectiile de Engleza si IT. A doua in set este lectia de Limba Engleza ‘Textele in Engleza din media - Functii si Structura’. Si ultima lectie din set este lectia de IT. Profesorul de informatica poate dezvolta toate cele sase lectii din Capitolul “Word processing”, Theme 2 ‘Creating and editing text’, Theme 3 ‘Document formating’, Them 4 ‘Insert objects in text document’ and Them 5 ‘Pre-print work. Print text document’ on one task - the homework assignment ‘Create media texts of interviews and reports regarding the school event "Preparing traditional Bulgarian dishes", eTwinning project 'Let's talk about food’'.

State Exams (SE)in limba si literature Bulgara – rezolvarea cerintelor 23-31 din acest format SE. In aceste cerinte elevii vor recunoaste texte cu stiluri functionale diferite si vor putea extrage informatii din ele, pentru a retine si scrie un rezumat al textului. Aceste notiuni sunt necesare pentru elevi in orele de limba si literatura Bulgara pentru studiul mentionat in programa pentru toate clasele, a textelor literare si de asemenea cand dezbateri si discutii au loc legate de probleme umanitare.

Cross curricular links before the lesson

Tehnologia informatiei – in orele anterioare competente au fost create pentru lucrul cu smartphones / tablete si rezolvarea de teste in Mentimeter. Elevii pot cauta informatiile pe Internet. Limba Engleza - elevii sunt constienti de textile media care apar in manualul de limba engleza pentru clasa a 9-a. Istorie si Civilizatie - elevii au notiuni despre public speaking si retorica in studiul Imperiului Roman.

Cross curricular links after the lesson

Limba engleza- analiza comparative a mijloacelor lingvistice din media in ambele limbi. Etica si Lege - studierea acestui obiect clasa a 10-a bazat pe notiunile lor despre articolele jurnalistice elevii vor putea face o declaratie publica ca un text oral si scris a unei probleme etice. Biologia si educatia pentru sanatate – aptitudinile de a extrage informatii si public speaking vor fi folosite in ore, care au fost formate in timpul orelor de limba si literatura Bulgara. Tehnologia informatiei –temele pentru acasa si materialele din lectia de limba si literature Bulgara vor fi folosite in exercitii de tehnologia informatiei legate de ceea ce se introduce, editeaza si formateaza in textul publicatiei.

Learning Objective: Elevii vor recunoaste caracteristicile de still ale textelor media si vor putea crea texte in forme orale si scrise, vor detine aptitudini pentru dialogul intercultural si vor putea, ca un rezultat al planificarii transdisciplinare adecvate, sa foloseasca media electronica si tehnologiile multimedia si vor putea participa efectiv si constructiv in viata social, formand abilitati pentru prezentari creative ale ideilor.

Project Activity (summary): 1. Create ‘Tasty Nutrition Guide”. – The students from all project schools will work few months on this task. They have to make a research on traditional national meals, what is their nutrition value and how healthy they are. For that they will get help from their Biology and Chemistry teachers. The lesson ‘Carbohydrates – monosaccharide, polysaccharide’ is one of the Biology lessons, where students have discussed one aspect of the task. Students will work also on the assignment to create a suggestion for healthy nutrition menu/diet. When they are ready, they have to present the suggestions to the classmates. In that way, the need to know how to create goodlooking computer presentation doesn’t look out of sense. When all information is collected and students decided which five meals will include in the Guide, they have to use the same Word template to create five files with five Page 38 | 188 Erasmus+ 2015-1-BG01-KA219-014218

Let’s put the project into the curriculum

traditional meals. They have to embed in the documents text, photos, charts etc. When students are ready all files will be collected in one e-book. The book is created in English and after that the students will translate it in their languages. Bulgarian students study in IT lessons in 10th grade the Module: "Integrating of ICT Activities". It consists at least 10 lessons. This Module is perfect to develop the last part of task about the Nutrition Guide. In this set only the description of one IT lesson is included – How to design a good-looking presentation, from the Module ‘Computer presentation’. But as future work more Lesson plans can be developed. 2. Create ‘Tasty Vocabulary’. Students will work on the same shared Google Spreadsheet to create the Vocabulary in 7 languages. Teachers of Biology and Chemistry can discuss with students different nutrition groups of food. English teacher will help them to find the proper terms and words. This activity is not directly connected with the present description of lesson plans. The activity could be used for the IT subject in 10th grade, Module ‘Computer networks’. For this module students have to know how to search for Information in Web; be able to find information by set of criteria in the local and global network; making file transfer and communication in real time etc. 3. Web binar 'Can healthy food be cheap?. For this activity students will use all information and skills from all lessons in very flexible way. For this activity they need not just to repeat some facts, but also to thing, to analyze and make conclusions. That is why the students will use the knowledge from the described set of lessons for the web binary activity

Inter-subject connections: This set of four lessons presents how teachers from four different subjects could use project activities to substitute school-like examples in lessons with tasks from the school eTwinning project. Chronologically, in this set students will start with Chemistry lesson: ‘Polysaccharides. Starch.’ The homework assignment makes connection with Biology, English and IT lessons. Second in the set is the Biology lesson: Carbohydrates – monosaccharide, polysaccharide. The Biology teacher will make relation with the knowledge from Chemistry lesson. Basic terms and names of the substances from the both lessons should be translated in English. So, the third place in this set is for English Language lesson. And the last lesson in this set is the IT lesson. Students have to create for Biology lesson a homework – a presentation of ‘Healthy nutrition diet’. In 10th grade students study Module: ‘Computer presentations’. For this module they have in total at least 6 lessons. In the beginning of the Module the IT teacher could give the students a task to create a presentation ‘Healthy nutrition diet’. The idea is to use the technology of Problem Based Learning on this task to develop student’s skills to create good presentation. You could ask where our eTwinning project is in the picture. When the students are in 9th and 10th grade they will work on the eTwinning project ‘Let’s talk about food’. During this two years the students will see, that Biology, Chemistry, English and IT are not just labels, but also give them real skills and knowledge that they can P a g e 39 | 188 Erasmus+ 2015-1-BG01-KA219-014218

Links with previous lesson(s)

At pre-secondary level students study ICT as a subject from 5th grade. In 10th grade they already have some skills how to create a computer presentation and how to work with MS Power Point. They know how to create a new presentation in PowerPoint, how to add text, images, video, sound and effects. Students know how to use computer programs to create different components that they will use in the presentation – video, sound, images and photos. During the previous lesson: - The studentshave learned the possibilities to present information to the audience; which tools they can use for that; which requirements by low (licenses) or ethics they have to follow. - The students have received a homework : 1. Go to the project TwinSpace Forum: BG : IINTER-SUBJECT TEACHING: ICT-BIOLOGY-CHEMISTRY-ENGLISH and read Garr Raynolds 10 tips for a good presentation. 2. Check at the eT project’s TwinSpace Forum BG: "The texts in the media sphere - function and structure"created in 9th grade and at the Forum Tasty Nutrition Guide for videos and texts about healthy nutrition.

Healthy Food and Healthy Lifestyle /SWEDEN Let’s talk about food – eT project Theme: THINKING, TALKING AND SHARING IDEAS ABOUT A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE Örnsköldsviks Gymnasium is an upper secondary school with 1,700 students aged between 1619. 177 science and business students have taken part in the project at three different occasions during the two-year-project. The time given for the project has been two weeks, 25 lessons, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary studies. The subjects included have been Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Swedish, English, Business, Natural Science, and Physical Education. Initially pupils from the six Erasmus+ project participating countries completed a Quiz consisting of 11 questions. Students were asked to answer questions such as “Do you consider your nutritional habits healthy?”, “How many hours on average do you sleep?” and “Do you find time for sports?”. The result of the Quiz was used the first year to inspire students in their work. The second year, though, the students work was based on the answers of a local survey conducted by the school nurse. All first-year students at Örnsköldsviks gymnasium take part in this survey in order to get a general picture of students well-being. Questions and answers about “students stress over school”, “sleep”, “eat candy, cookies, potato chips” and “juice, drink sweet soda, energizers, sweet tea or coffee” was used. A two-hour-long introduction followed during which the students were informed about the different activities for the two week of interdisciplinary studies. Teachers from each subject was a part of the introduction. As a start a short film “Hungry Planet” 1 introduced the talk about food and what a family eats during a week. The film shows photos of families from 24 different countries. The families show what food they eat for a week, and the average cost of it. The pupils were then asked to talk two minutes in pairs about their own families food for a week and they were also asked to guess the price of it. Some of the students presented their thoughts for the others. On a Padlet2 each student wrote about three words that they associate to Healthy Food and Healthy Lifestyle. They used their smartphone or laptop. Most words were about exercise, sleep, stress, blood sugar and biomolecules in food. A picture of Maslow's hierarchy of needs was shown and pupils received information that the focus for the two weeks of work would be on physical needs, such as sleep, food, and water for example. The result of the quiz as well as parts of the local survey were presented and served as inspiration for the students work. To get a global view of sugar consumption students were

Let’s put the project into the curriculum asked to answer the question “Which country do you think eats most sugar?”. Students answered a question at Mentimeter with their smartphone or laptop. Countries to choose among were Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Romania, Sweden and Turkey, i.e. the countries involved in the Erasmus+ project. All pupils thought it was Sweden that had the highest sugar consumption. And statistics from the website Gapminder showed that Sweden has since 1961 been the country with the highest sugar consumption. After that pupils were asked if the United States has a higher or lower sugar consumption than Sweden. Students thought that the US has higher sugar consumption than Sweden and that is correct.3 Then followed a film which permitted the students to get a wider view on the hidden sugar in groceries and how to make healthy snacks. After the film the work for the two weeks was presented. A schedule of the first week's lessons was presented. One task was to compose a recipe for a Healthy smoothie and justify why each ingredient was selected. During the end of the two hour long introduction students were informed about how a good research question can be formulated. Another task for the two week work was to choose an interesting part of Healthy Lifestyle and Healthy Food and compose a research question. During two weeks our students worked in pairs, formulated a research question, gathered information, looked at statistics and interviewed their parents or grandparents. With the help of ICT tools they then put together a simplified Pecha Kucha presentation, 10 slides and 20 seconds for each slide. The different technical tools used were iPad or Laptop, PowerPoint or KeyNote and for iPad the app Show Me. Of course students also used Internet to gather information. Students also learned to be source-critical throughout the process and to disclose their sources. The work in pairs and each presentation showed how the students knowledge met with the knowledge criteria in the national curricula (see Table 1). At another lesson students saw a film which permitted them to get a wider view on the effects of an overconsumption of sugar. Students answered a questionnaire about the film during a lesson outdoor and when their were skiing. After the two weeks work students presented their work to each other. Teachers used the Selfevaluation rubric, see below, to give the students feedback on their work. After that students answered a poll and the result was good. Almost 80 % of the students thought that work in pairs was good. ⅔ of the students thought that they had improved their skills in ICT. Almost 60 % of the students thought that it had been interesting and educational to work in this health project. Around 40 % of the students thought that the two hour start was interesting and provided useful information about the project. More than 50 % of the students thought that working in the same project in many subjects had improved their learning. 75 % of the students thought that the film about the effects of an overconsumption of sugar raised interest and

Let’s put the project into the curriculum English In the Swedish curriculum for the subject of English it is stated that the teaching of English should aim at helping students to develop knowledge of language and the surrounding world so that they have the ability, desire and confidence to use English in different situations and for different purposes. A second aim of the teaching of English is that students should be given the opportunity, through the use of language in functional and meaningful contexts, to develop all-round communicative skills. Working Description For two weeks our pupils focused on the aspects of healthy lifestyles. During the English classes they studied health related texts and worked with exercises. Our pupils practiced listening comprehension watching a film dealing with the bad effects of an overconsumption of sugar, which hopefully gave some of them a wake up call about their own of sugar. Furthermore, the pupils were given the task of interviewing their parents, thus finding out how our eating and drinking habits have changed during the course of a generation. This introduced pupils to the craft of interviewing and presenting gathered information via ICT tools. All participants in the project, from Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Italy, Greece and Sweden, were asked to write an essay entitled “The Bread of Life”. In the essay they discussed and made some research, on the etymology, history, nutritional significance, and popularity of bread among other things. Five essays were chosen from each participating school and a winner was finally honoured. Another competition was arranged prior to the essay competition. By Christmas all pupils competed in creating a Christmas card expressing the country’s typical Christmas food and traditions. As a final assignment our pupils were given the task of creating an oral presentation where they demonstrated the answer to the topic related question they initially had decided to focus on. This was done in pairs and presented to their classmates.

Biology In Biology the pupils were to develop the ability to analyse and find answers to subject-related questions and to identify, formulate and solve problems. Another aim was the ability to reflect on and assess chosen strategies, methods and results as well as the ability to plan, carry out, interpret and report field studies, experiments and observations, and also the ability to handle materials and equipment. The pupils should receive knowledge of the importance of biology for the individual and society. They also had the chance to develop their ability to use knowledge of biology to communicate, and also to examine and use information. One part of the curriculum is evolutionary mechanisms, such as natural selection and sexual selection and their importance in speciation. Another is the nature of biology and its working methods as identifying and studying problems and issues using reasoning from biology. Furthermore different views on societal issues based on biological explanatory models e.g. issues concerning sustainable development. Working Description In a few lessons we taught the students which biomolecules a cell is made up of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. The biomolecules come from our food so it is important to eat well and varied. Teaching also brought up how humans bred a few different species to increase yields and affect nutrient content. Although the cell's energy and metabolism, pupils had an overall picture of the cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Pupils put together a recipe for a healthy and tasty smoothie. The origins of the ingredients were examined, and also how they have evolved over time. By using the Internet and the iPad or laptop the pupils learnt how the plants have been bred by humans. The ingredients in the recipe were justified on the basis of how the body uses the different biomolecules. By using the NFA database of nutritional content for each ingredient pupils created a table and a chart for their smoothies. During a laboratory session students made their planned smoothie and together with the other pairs of pupils they enjoyed the smoothies and carried out pH tests using filter paper drained with decoction of red cabbage. In this project students got the opportunity to identify issues based on biological explanatory models and the role of knowledge for understanding problems with health.

Chemistry In Chemistry the students were to develop the knowledge of chemical concepts, models, theories and working methods, and understanding their development. Another aim is the ability to analyse and find answers to subject-related questions, and to identify, formulate and solve problems. Also the ability to reflect on and assess chosen strategies, methods and results. The ability to plan, carry out, interpret and report experiments and observations, and also the ability to handle chemicals and equipment. The students should also get the knowledge of the importance of chemistry for the individual and society. The ability to use a knowledge of chemistry to communicate, and also to examine and use information. One content is reactions and changes such as acid-base reactions, including the concept of pH and buffer effects. Another content is analytical chemistry with qualitative and quantitative methods of chemical analysis, e.g. chromatography and titration. The students should also get the opportunity to determining views on social issues on the basis of chemical models, e.g. sustainable development issues. Working Description Chemistry teaching considered the most common strong and weak acids and strong and weak bases. The students learnt strong acids and strong bases proteolysis. They also learnt how to measure pH with natural indicators, such as red cabbage and with a digital pH-meter. During one lesson within a laboratory students were measuring how the carbon dioxide content in the exhaled air was changed by increased physical activity. Acid-base titration was used as a method of analysis with digital pH-meter and sodium hydroxide with the concentration of 0,0100 mol/dm3 as a titrator. During the tasting of different smoothies the students made pH measurement using filter paper stained with decoction of red cabbage. In this project students have got the opportunity to determine views on social issues such as overweight, diabetes, healthy lifestyle and healthy food on the basis of chemical models.

Mathematics In the Swedish curriculum for the subject of Mathematics it is stated teaching in mathematics should aim at students developing their ability to work mathematically. This involves developing an understanding of mathematical concepts and methods, as well as different strategies for solving mathematical problems and using mathematics in social and professional situations. In this project we focused on: - Examination of how statistical methods and results are used in society and in science. - Strategies for mathematical problem solving including the use of digital media and tools. - Statistical methods for reporting observations and data from surveys, including regression analysis. Working Description During three lessons in Mathematics we worked with statistics and health. We used three different websites, National Food Agency Sweden, Gapminder and Statistics Sweden - SCB.

Find facts and make diagrams with Excelhttps://www.livsmedelsverket.se/en In this lesson the students get to know the website of Livsmedelsverket, the Swedish National Food Agency. They learn how to find facts about different kinds of food. For example they take out what nutrients a recipe contains. They make diagrams with Excel which shows the amount of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in their recipe.

Make and interpret diagrams

https://www.gapminder.org/

In this lesson the students get to know the website Gapminder. First we use the website together to see a short film with Hans Rosling, a Swedish professor of international health. In his lectures he often use statistics and Gapminder to show facts on various subjects. The pupils learn how to make diagrams using Gapminder and they practise to interpret information from statistics. They also see how important it is to have real facts before you can draw conclusions. 3

Find more statistics and within a special topic

http://www.scb.se/en_/

In this lesson the students get to know the website Statistics Sweden. It is an administrative agency which main task is to supply customers with statistics for decision making, debate and research. The students start with some general questions so they get to know the website. Later when they work with their research question in the project of Healthy Lifestyle and Healthy Food, they can find statistics within their special topic.

Let’s put the project into the curriculum

Physical Education and Health Skills in and knowledge of physical activities and how various lifestyle factors impact human health is fundamental in enabling people to be able to take responsibility for their health. Teaching should lead to students developing knowledge of how their own bodies function at work, and the importance of lifestyle. Teaching in the subject of physical education and health should give students the opportunities to develop the following: ● Knowledge of the importance of physical activities and experiences from nature for physical ability and health. Core content - Teaching in the course should cover the following core content: ●

Impact of diet, drugs and doping substances on health and performance.

Working Description We have seen the movie " That Sugar Film" after which the students answered questions related to the movie. Students have received a good foundation to stand on when it comes to the importance of diet on health. Students have discussed the hidden sugar that we are exposed to every day. We also had a theory lesson around the subject of diet and then the pupils have made smoothies based on their acquired knowledge about nutritional and health.

Project Activity (summary) From what pupils learn in the involved subjects they learn to analyze what they eat and choose a healthier alternative. Furthermore they learn to formulate good research questions. In pairs they decide on one question, which they answer using different ICT tools and an interview with some older people. The pupils present the results by means of a Power Point using recorded English speech to accompany the presentation.

Inter-subject connections In Mathematics, pupils learn how to use statistics and to draw diagrams. In Biology, pupils learn about plant breeding and how different foods have changed their nutrients over the past 5 000 years, with focus on sugar content. In Chemistry pupils learn to see differences between biomolecules and how the body use different molecules, such as fatty acids, amino acids and glucose. They also learn to measure pH and to use a natural pH-indicator such as red cabbage. In Physical Education the pupils learn new ways of exercising called e.g. Tabata. They were also taught the importance of regular exercise in order to have as good a lifestyle and health as possible.

Pupils use English as much as possible all through the project. All presentations are performed in English.

Statistics and Health

Get facts about food using https://www.livsmedelsverket.se/en/ and draw diagrams with Excel.

Livsmedelsverket is the Swedish National Food Agency and on their website they present their vision: “We work towards the following goals; healthy dietary habits, safe foods and fair practices in the food trade. Our tools are regulations, recommendations and communication. Our recommendations and communication support consumers in their everyday life, for example when shopping, feeding their children and cooking. Guiding consumers towards healthy dietary habits is a big challenge and a very important task for the National Food Agency. Food legislation is in essentially harmonized within the EU. The National Food Agency takes an active part in the development of new legislation in co-operation with other EU member states. Food safety is the responsibility of the company that produces or sells food. The food control, which includes drinking water, is carried out by the National Food Agency at the national level, the County Administrations at the regional level and the municipal Environment and Health Protection Committees at the local level. The National Food Agency is the competent authority when it comes to environmental issues in the food sector. We encourage people to learn more about eco-smart food choices and how to minimize food waste.” a) The following table and graph are from the NFA survey "Riksmaten 2010-11-adults". Use them and describe / compare candy consumption among men and women.

b) On NFA page, you can also use the Food Database to see which nutritional a certain recipe yields by selecting: Food and content, nutrients, food database, search nutrient Now, use the food database to find out which nutritional content of this recipe for spinach smoothie. Spinach smoothie ½ avocado 20 g spinach 1 dl mango 1 ½ dl milk 3% • In recipes it is not always the weight in grams, but often as a volume of dl. Converting between weight and volume can for example be made at http://livsmedelsinfo.nu/volymvikt.aspx • On the page with the nutrient you go to the heading "Selected weight" and then you can do differently to create a spreadsheet with the right amount of ingredients in their recipes: Option 1: You enter one ingredient at a time, specify the correct amount in grams, "Saves" lists as Excel. In the Excel program highlighted and copied lines of energy, fat, carbohydrates and protein and paste into a new spreadsheet where all the ingredients in the recipe as pasted. Finally plott a chart/diagram. Option 2: You write all the ingredients with the weight of 100 grams, "Saves" list as Excel. In the Excel program you can make formulas and modify the worksheet so the weight should match to the recipe After that you plott a chart/diagram.

Evaluation Pupil Learning & Progression By listening to students’ discussions, we felt that all students participated the best they could. We believe that neither rapid progress nor reaching out to all students will be achieved after just one lesson. However, we found the lesson a good start of the project and the pupils had good and interesting discussions. They practiced their discussion phrases and shared opinions with each other. As for means of measuring the outcomes we walked around and checked all groups to make sure everybody participated the best they could. Teaching & Classroom Management Bý focusing on communicative practice during the first lesson we helped our students to improve their communicative skills. The discussion phrases was a useful tool for them and helped them to better interact with each other. They learned how to listen and give response to their fellow students. Planning & Subject Knowledge Working on a trial-and-error basis where we learn to make the necessary adjustments, not only in our teaching but also in our planning. Also, by sharing teaching materials and experiences with fellow teachers. To continually evaluate the work in class by listening to students´ opinions and ideas.

Project Activity (summary): The project's goal is to influence students’ daily life on certain issues related to “health”. To help them link the acquired knowledge with real life. To promote inter-subject education and learning based on ICT. This will lead them to reconsider their attitude towards common practices but also to change their attitude towards school. The research questions that students will have to answer are: 1) What new habits are considered unhealthy? 2) Why are they considered unhealthy? 3) What alternative practices are there? To achieve our goals, we will develop the methodology based on an exemplary project, but the principles can be adapted for any other project. A project on healthy lifestyle will be used as a tool. The work on "SEARCHING FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE" will give added value to our work - will help to create new practices that promote healthy living.

Inter-subject connections: The aim of our project is to sensitize students in habits that promote health. To this end, itemizing habits are produced that students should adopt or should avoid. Therefore, a related vocabulary, brochures, photographs, posters & exhibitions are created. These are free for use P a g e 99 | 188 This project is funded by the European Union

All the students worked in a process of oriented guided inquiry environment, polls were created, there was a constructivist learning experience; risks and gains of diets for people were made clear. Students have an opportunity for active learning, an opportunity for reflection through or writing a response. Abstract concepts are taught using concrete examples and students are given an opportunity to explore real-world connections. Students are given an opportunity to process information verbally by summarizing in their own words, writing articles, discussing, or explaining something to others. Teaching & Classroom Management The lesson plan provided a means to determine if the lesson’s objectives were met by each student. The facts to be learned were clearly stated, with strategies for learning them. Students were helped with attention to details. Information was presented visually by making use of youtube nutrition 101, writing key words on the board. The whole process is meant to discover connections in the real world. Planning & Subject Knowledge To provoke cognitive interest of the students and improve the quality of classroom – a number of various interactive techniques are envisaged: team work, discussion. Planning takes time but if we give students tools and guidance their outcomes are possible. ICT Literacy- students use tools to research, organize, communicate information and create new products by using it.

Effective Teaching Ideas for Modern Education Narcisa Mihaela Udrea Constantinescu – Romania Abstract: This article focuses on the need of being flexible and adapt our teaching methods to the needs of nowadays’ society. We live in a world of change and progress. Everything changes very quickly. As teachers, we have a huge responsibility. We are not only their learning partners, but also their examples. We are not the main source of information anymore. Our role is constantly changing. What we have to do now is to guide our students, to monitor their progress, to give a reliable feedback and encourage them to pursue their goals and dreams. The questions are: ”Are we able to replace our own methods of teaching with the new ones?” ”Are we able to be objective and criticise ourselves?” There are five suggestions that could help us: 1. Try to be objective and see things from a different perspective; 2. Adapt your methods; 3. Use your students’ digital knowledge; 4. Help your students to be teachers; 5. Be yourself a good learner. These few suggestions and a lot of work could help us improve our methods and become better teachers.

Effective Teaching Ideas for Modern Education ”Innovation”, ”invention”, ”discovery”, ”progress” are only some words which describe our daily reality. Every day we learn about different things. A modern device has been invented, it was designed an interesting appliance to make our lives easier, to beautify our houses or, simply, to help us relax; our mobile phones become smarter and smarter. They can do a lot of things by a simple touch or a vocal order. We are witnesses of a fast changing world. And we have to be flexible and to adapt ourselves in order to survive. As teachers, we have a huge responsibility. Working with people is one of the most challenging jobs in the world, working with children is even more difficult. We play an essential role into their lives and formation and we have to be aware of this reality and to improve ourselves and our teaching methods. We all choose some people to be our models or examples. But are we ready to become ones for our students? Are we able to see ourselves from another perspective, to be objective and criticise ourselves? It is essential to do it because we live in a world of progress. Nobody is perfect so all of us can improve something to himself/herself. The traditional approach puts the focus on the teacher. He/she is the most important in the classroom. He is the source of information, he is the source of examples, he is the master of all the activities. Most of us has grown being taught into this way. Maybe many years we taught using this method. Then new methods and approaches have been developed and we had the opportunity to experience some of them. Many teachers nowadays would say that they do not follow a single method. Most of them use different methods or principles from different methods according to the needs of their own students and classes. Most of us develop the so called ”personal methodology”.

Page 150 | 188 Erasmus+ 2015-1-BG01-KA219-014218

Let’s put the project into the curriculum The most important thing is to be able to avoid our own assumptions about education such as: ”a lesson should last for about one hour”, ”mobile phones should be switched off during classes”, ”students come to school to learn and teachers come to school to teach”. Being open-minded and ready to change and experience new methods can be the key of success. I think it would be interesting to pay attention to only five ideas given in the book: ”10 ideas for 21st century education”. 1. Try to be objective and see things from a different perspective ”In a traditional classroom, students sit in rows at individual desks or small tables, facing the teacher. There’s a very good reason for this: they are designed so that teachers can efficiently transmit information to groups of students. This made sense when teachers were students’ most accessible information sources. But in an age in which wireless internet means we are literally surrounded by information, we no longer need students in rows facing the teacher. The pursuit of 21st century skills – collaborative problem-solving, IT, information and economic literacy – require 21st century teaching methods. The role of teachers can no longer be to impart knowledge but to guide, discuss and, of course, measure the progress of students so that they know when more support is needed. Today, innovative schools are designing classrooms for the pursuit of knowledge, rather than its conveyance, and even doing away with them altogether.” Maybe we cannot change our classrooms, but, at least, we can experience this new method of teaching sometimes and see how it could influence our students’attitude and feedback. 2. Adapt your methods ”In England, when we talk about a child with ‘special educational needs’, we are referring to a child with diagnosed learning difficulties. But the fact is that everybody has ‘special educational needs’: we approach problems in our own way, grasp concepts at our own pace, and respond differently to different kinds of feedback. Good teachers have always taken account of this, but the structure of conventional schools limits the extent to which they can personalise learning. In most schools everyone studies the same thing, at the same time, in the same way. What is personalised, generally, is how much they are expected to understand. This has come about because when one teacher is presenting material to a large class and then personally gauging how much of it each of them has learned to apply, there is not enough time to provide each student with a course of learning tailored uniquely to suit them. However, this is beginning to change, partly (though not entirely) because of digital technology.” Unfortunately, we do not have the time and the possibility to adapt our methods to each and every student but we can try to put more efforts into being more flexible and adapt our methods of teaching to each group of students. 3. Use your students’digital knowledge ”Imagine you have been given an urgent task to do at work which requires a bit of research. Unfortunately, you only have 60 minutes of scheduled computer access today, and it P a g e 151 | 188 This project is funded by the European Union

Erasmus+ 2015-1-BG01-KA219-014218

Sa punem proiectele in programa doesn’t begin for another four hours. You have a smartphone, but you’re not allowed to use it in the building. What do you do? It seems obvious that any professional work produced in this context would be lacking in scope and accuracy. Technology has revolutionised our relationship with information in the real world, and we take for granted our ability to access it anywhere, at any time. This is even more pronounced for young people who have grown up with technology as an integral and ever-present part of their lives. Today’s students are natural investigators, researchers and synthesisers of information. These skills can be put to powerful use in any classroom: the days of IT as a discrete subject, taught at designated times in computer labs, are numbered.” If we have students who like using technology, why not using this into our own advantage? Why not to give them tasks which involve the use of technology? We can reach our goals easier and more pleasant. And the student will love our course. 4. Help your students to be teachers ”The job of a teacher is a challenging one, encompassing a diverse range of roles and responsibilities. But this does not mean that teachers have skills and qualities that belong exclusively to them: students, too, have long been informally inspiring, advising, supporting and offering a listening ear to their friends and classmates. Indeed, schools are beginning to recognise the potential of harnessing and developing these assets in order to help students to work in complementary ways alongside teachers, enabling them to play a more active part in shaping their own education and that of their peers.” Let yourself helped by your students. It will be a cooperation from which everybody will benefit. 5. Be yourself a good learner ”The challenges of the 21st century place demands on young people to be good learners. They need to be resilient learners, able to make mistakes and learn from them. To be independent learners, willing to take ownership of their learning. And to be flexible learners, ready to use different learning strategies to navigate and adapt to a rapidly changing world. If students are to achieve this they must have effective ‘teachers of learning’, who fully understand the process of learning – and the best way for teachers to achieve this is to become learners themselves.” From time to time switch your place with your students. Would you be satisfied by a teacher like you? What would you improve? Reflect to these questions and act accordingly! In conclusion, be yourself a good example, be flexible, adapt your methods to the needs of the new society. Try to be objective and take your time to meditate and change everything you are not satisfied with. We live in a world of change and we have to see the changes as ways to improve ourselves and our teaching methods not as obstacles in reaching our goals. Bibliography:

Using a competency-based approach, the blended and online opportunities activate higher levels of learning. Innovation in pedagogy is evolving simultaneously with the growth of the blended learning and its numerous adaptations as the online tools are associated with improved critical thinking, research, and computer skills generating a combination of flexibility, independence and experience,apart from providing clear instructions and expectations, and making use of appropriate media. The blended learning approach is flexible and adaptable allowing teachers to create instructional activities and assignments that offer students the opportunity to work collaboratively, in accordance with their interest and abilities. In addition, it stimulates the use of project-based and experiential learning through the facilities the blended models provide, giving students the opportunity to search for information, attend group work, and further develop projects that showcase their learning processes and outcomes.

Sa punem proiectele in programa Numerous advantages are addressed by the blending learning system. It provides the most efficient and effective learning experience by combining different learning environments. On one hand blended learning provides professional development for teachers. Professional development isan essential element to the success of the blended learning initiatives. Apart from becoming technology “addicted” users and they develop their skills at technology integration in a blended environment. They become experts in managing the teaching process and personalizing learning. Furthermore, they find it easy to adapt and improve the curriculum by introducing IT resources and media for the development of the 21st century skills. Consequently innovative ideas are prone to emerge, leading to a higher quality of what and how it is taught to enhance students ‘learning outcomes. On the other hand, students benefit from many the many advantages the blended learning brings. Offering more than the face-to face instruction does, blended learning definitely boost motivation, being more attractive and easier to use. Students might use remedial resources and additional learning resources anytime, anywhere online having access to up-to-date learning opportunities, if desired. They are given direct experience and exposure to the technology applications which enable them to conduct research, analyze data, select, synthesizeand present information Students can work through a specific task or problem as often as they want, until they reach their learning goal. Being permanently encouraged to take responsibility for their own leaning, they are encouraged to practice more and improve their skills working in a more active collaborative environment which imply communication and creativity stimulation, having the possibility to form virtual groups for specific topics or specific levels of competence. Blended learning meets multiple challenges in relation with work assessment. A set of limitations may be identified when dealing with assessment and yet flexible solutions seem to be offered by the blended learning system. Although online, similarly to the traditional testing system feedback and assessment is provided to check the depth of students’ learning. The online tests make the grading more transparent by removing the subjectivity factor and are easier to register and yet there is no innovation when referring to the types of activities used to assess students. However, informal assessments of creative and collaborative work may be created to assess the high levels of critical thinking and creative skills. They are becoming more and more popular also because they allow transferability from one context to another. An important drawback of the informal assessment is that the blended assessment method will require extra efforts from the teacher who has to take into account the learning objectives, the progress and the feedback as students come from various backgrounds and the assessment should be created for each learning environment in order to obtain the best learning result. Therefore accurate and meaningful assessment remain subject to the teacher’s mastery level. Suitable to most of the learning theories, adaptable to any school level, flexible in combining methods, tools, assessment tools, capable of activating both low-level and high-levels of Page 154 | 188 Erasmus+ 2015-1-BG01-KA219-014218

Let’s put the project into the curriculum thinking, blended learning remains open to almost any kind of blend and to all types educators. In conclusion, blended learning is becoming an increasingly popular form of e-learning, particularly suitable for use in the process of transition from traditional forms of learning and teaching towards e-learning.

"Integrating innovative teaching tools into the curriculum to optimize student learning" Olivia Nicolae Liceul „Charles Laugier”, Craiova, Romania Abstract:The current context of rapid changes within the socio-economic framework and the daily technological innovation utter the urgent need for an appropriate educational system and for common schools strategies which should include not only practical topics enriching thus the school curriculum and offer, but also new solutions and teaching tools which could facilitate a more life-oriented approach and perspective on what teaching and learning should be nowadays. The difficulty of the task is highly recognised, though, since the focus on academic performance and the pressure of the testing system tend to put an emphasis on the performance of the core subjects rather than on the 21st century skills and learning outcomes. Departing from such issues, new teaching approaches advocate the implementation of crosscurricular innovative tools to optimise the learning outcomes.

"Integrating innovative teaching tools into the curriculum to optimize student learning" The current context of rapid changes within the socio-economic framework and the daily technological innovation utter the urgent need for an appropriate educational system and for common schools strategies which should include not only practical topics enriching thus the school curriculum and offer, but also new solutions and teaching tools which could facilitate a more life-oriented approach and perspective on what teaching and learning should be nowadays. The difficulty of the task is highly recognised, though, since the focus on academic performance and the pressure of the testing system tend to put an emphasis on the performance of the core subjects rather than on the 21st century skills and learning outcomes. Departing from such issues, new teaching approaches advocate the implementation of cross-curricular innovative tools to optimise the learning outcomes. In order to tackle the present challenges and to anticipate possible problems, education should go beyond information seeking and students should acquire a set of essential skills, enabling them to rapidly integrate and evolve. Consequently, a deeper understanding of the learning outcomes is imperative and in accordance with the individual training needs, teachers should be able to boost students’ school-work transition and provide a new learning environment which offers the opportunity to forge dynamic relationships between teaching and learning. The necessity of increasing students’ awareness of their potential, of the skills they may use and develop in order to increase success in their life and for designing such contexts that provide guidance on how to best exploit those skills based on a personalized approach and on what actions students may undertake in order to reach their goals becomes essential. The focus turns on developing students’ creative confidence through projects that imply empathy, Page 156 | 188 Erasmus+ 2015-1-BG01-KA219-014218

Let’s put the project into the curriculum encouraging brainstorming and fostering communication and, in addition, problem-solving skills as support for internalising and making meaning of the diverse interdisciplinary academic content. The reflective learning across all curricula enables the understanding of the relevance all subjects taught in school have and of their interdependence, leading to improved solutions and innovative tools to facilitate the process. Apparently difficult to achieve at the level of an educational organisation, collaboration among various institutions has recently generated several approaches with the purpose of bringing valuable change into the matter. Such an approach was implemented, for instance, within the framework of the strategic Erasmus+ project, Hard-Soft Skilling-Charting your Career Path, 2014-1-RO01-KA201002736_1 whose scope was the integration of hard and soft core transversal skills learning as part of the 14-19 year-old high-school students’ development in 8 European countries, by the use of appropriate methodologies and tools to facilitate the process. With the view to identifying the real issues high school education faces, a comparative study was conducted in eight partner countries as a basis for a pro-active approach. Its conclusions led to the solution of designing innovative teaching tools, mainly an optional course syllabus, a teaching toolkit and a teacher’s guide on the teaching and learning of transferable skills, accompanied by additional tools that provide the connection between academic learning and the labour market: a web directory containing links to job opportunities on the labour market, a career plan model, an online resume creator, an online learning platform and an android application in order to support the attempt to integrate the transferable skills into the current school activities. The idea of creating such tools was to maximize learning potential, encouraging students’ self-reflecting and critical thinking on how to use the hard soft skills to chart their career path, offering access to information and attitudes learners may personalize and use. Additionally, the activities foreseen as framework for testing and evaluating the tools were carried on by mixed international teams of teachers and students in different foreign countries as well as locally in each school involved in the partnership. How exactly were the tools and materials used? Briefly, as part of the curriculum of several subjects regularly taught in schools, but mainly as an optional course for high school students. The transversal skills development implies the use of flexible interdisciplinary approaches and teaching strategies rely on the use of active teaching methods: simulation, problem based learning, cooperation, role plays, games; critical thinking methods; experiential learning linked to concrete tasks; assessment as well as self-assessment using teaching strategies which allow individual, peer and group work. Different teaching techniques and learning tasks were incorporated and their selection was in relation to the topic addressed. The mixture of methods was selected according to the students’ age, interest and profile. The choice of units was meant to encourage learners to make thematic connections and at the same time to relate content to real life issues, efficiently managing the resources and the P a g e 157 | 188 This project is funded by the European Union

Recycling previous knowledge from various fields, primarily technology, languages and soft-skills, and mostly combining the information in a steam considered essential to gain access to the labour market facilitated permanent learning. Intended as a skill-based syllabus, it can be regarded as “multi-syllabus” as it integrates different elements of other study areas: entrepreneurship, language learning, cross-cultural aspects, personal development, etc., students could have an overall perspective upon Activating the pragmatic use of the knowledge, abilities and attitudes the students possess in real labour market contexts, the methodology implemented was based on skill development and know-how acquisition and practice, and less on the theoretical aspects. The combination of teaching methods belonging to the personal development field with those oriented towards the real labour market domain will, on one hand, reinforce personal strengths and motivation and, on the other hand, channel these valuable assets towards early career guidance and worker profile building. The modular organisation of the tools encourages entire course completion or, according to each participant’s interest and progress a selection of the relevant modules and tools, enhancing autonomy and personal initiative. In conclusion, the project promoted a core of teaching tools implemented as part of the school based curriculum in any school, either general or vocational and the project as a whole illustrates a necessity of introducing changes in the school curriculum and in the schools.

Integrating ICT in the teaching-learning process Roxana Elena Budica, Liceul Charles Laugier, Craiova, Romania Abstract: This article presents theInformation and communication technologies (ICT) advantages and tools which can improve the teaching and learning process at schools. ICT have become common place entities in all aspects of life. Integrating ICT into teaching and learning is a growing area that has attracted many educatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; efforts in the recent years. ICT can change the traditional concept of learning process and the components of ICT should be integrated in the education program in such a way that teaching should be enabled to face the new demands and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of education at all levels in both formal and non-formal settings. Knowledge of ICT and ICT skills have gained tremendous importance for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teacher. ICT aims at transferring the old traditional paradigm of learning to the new paradigm of learning. Therefore, we must accept the new paradigm and technology in teaching learning process. Educational institutions need to develop strategies, plan to improve the teaching-learning process and ensure that all teachers are well prepared to use the new tools for boosting learning. Integrating ICT in the teaching-learning process 21st century is the age of Information and Communication Technology. All over the globe, there is a trend to use ICT in the teaching learning process. The teacher and learner must gain access to technology in order to improve learning outcomes. Educational reforms include successful designing and implementation of ICT in the teaching and learning process, which is the key to success. It involves the use of computers, computer software and other devices to convert, store, transmit and retrieve information and includes the services and application associated with them. ICT is an acronym that stands for: 1. Information-it covers the topics such as meaning and value of information; how information is controlled; the limitations of ICT; legal considerations; how data is captured, verified and stored for effective use; the manipulation, processing and distribution of information; keeping information secure and designing networks to share information. 2. Communication networks of sending and receiving equipment, wires and satellite links. 3. Technology-collection of techniques, knowledge of how to combine resources to produce the desired products, to solve problems and fulfill the needs; it includes technical methods, skills, processes, techniques, tools and raw materials. The integration of ICT in teaching learning covers multiple aspects:

TECHNOLOGY LITERACY refers to basic digital literacy skills to use technology, the ability to select and use the appropriate software available including internet in computer laboratories or, in case of limited classroom facilities, to complement standard curriculum objectives, assessment approaches, lesson plans and didactic teaching methods, overall the ability to use ICT to manage classroom data and support their own professional development. KNOWLEDGE DEEPENING The ability to manage information, structure problem tasks, integrate open-ended software tools and subject specific applications by using student centered teaching methods and collaborative methods and projects to foster students’ deep understanding of key concepts and their application to solve complex world real problems; by using network resources to help students access information, communicate with experts to analyze and solve their selected problems and use ICT and by allowing teachers to create and monitor individual or group plans. KNOWLEDGE CREATION Designing ICT-based learning resources and environments to support the development of knowledge creation and students ‘critical thinking skills, along with students’ continuous reflective learning, often result in creating knowledge communities for students and colleagues. IMPACT IN THE CLASSROOM The opportunities to develop innovative teaching methodologies and to deploy more interesting material that create an interest in the students provide better management of the classroom and students by enabling the teacher to concentrate on other tasks such as research and consultancy, facilitate optimum utilization and sharing of resources among institutions thereby reducing the cost of implementing ICT solution and to find appropriate online resources that can be used offline or converted to a paper based resource.

ICT tools in classroom. A variety of tools may be used in the classroom amongst which: 1. Social networks Recent surveys found that 73 percent of online teens use social-networking sites. The evolving world of Internet communication (blogs, podcasts, tags, file swapping) offers students new ways to research, create, and learn. 2. Blogging for teachers and students, made easy Edublogs provide teachers and students with a lot of facilities. Edublogs are: 

  

Safe and Reliable – Blogs can be completely private or open to the public. Since they only host education related content, Edublogs are allowed by most school filters where other blogging platforms are not. Student Friendly – It is as simple to add to and update a blog as it is to send an email. Teachers can easily create and manage as many student blogs as needed. Rich With Features – A few of the most popular features include discussion tools, video embedding, Facebook and Twitter integration and calendars. Research-Based – Engage students in their learning and enhance instruction through collaboration, student portfolios and endless classroom uses. 3. Wikipedia

Page 160 | 188 Erasmus+ 2015-1-BG01-KA219-014218

Let’s put the project into the curriculum Launched in 2001, Wikipedia represents a radical step in information access and availability. As writer and educator Will Richardson has noted, Wikipedia’s goal is nothing less than “collecting the sum of human knowledge” in a vast, constantly growing digital repository (60). Wikipedia in education - Wikipedia can also be a great educational tool in the classroom. Teachers can require students to improve Wikipedia articles or create new ones, which requires extensive research especially when creating new articles. Wikipedia is also very strict on citations; every line of text in the article has to have a citation. 4. Smart board Presentation tools are increasing in popularity for educators who want to share ideas and information with large or small groups of students. Interactive applications are in demand for educators who want to involve their students in learning with technology. The electronic interactive whiteboard is a device that combines both of these attributes; offering shared learning experiences for large or small groups, as well as for distance learning. In conclusion, integrating ICT in the teaching and learning process becomes imperative nowadays, not only as a modern and motivational factor but also as a challenging process which enhances the quality of education.

Computer assisted learning Prof. Daniela-Veronica Radu ,, Gh. Ţiţeica’’ Secondary School, Craiova, Romania Abstract: The computer, a modern means of education, has become indispensable in modern education, being used by teaching staff in the teaching-learning process. The use of the computer in education has the great advantage of facilitating the transition from the passive accumulation of information by students to learning by discovery. They practically learn to learn, developing their cognitive skills and strategies they will use in various other situations. This brings a great deal of flexibility in learning and in stimulating students to get involved in the educational process and to become a teacher's partner within the classroom. The computer cannot replace the teacher, which remains an active living presence in communicating with students, and this relationship cannot be substituted by interactive lessons. The teacher remains the factor that brings personal, human resources into the educational process and engages with his entire personality in education. It is the teacher who establishes live communication with students through intuition, empathy, creativity and adaptability to the specifics of his pupils, and he is the one who shapes their characters. In this process, the computer is an additional tool used by the teacher, a tool that changes the traditional learning system and allows the removal of barriers in accessing information In the teaching process of the various disciplines: chemistry, physics, mathematics, geography, biology, psychology, Romanian language, educational programs are currently used on a large scale, meaning interactive lessons adapted to the age and classes. Thus, the computer is the one that provides the pupils with instruction, each lesson following some sequences directed by the teacher, who also sets the educational objectives.

Utilizarea sistemelor informatice a câştigat teren datorită virtuţilor foarte atractive pentru elevi, accesibilităţii pentru aceştia şi facilitării prezentării informaţiilor. Folosirea calculatorului în educaţie are marele avantaj de a facilita trecerea de la acumularea pasivă de informaţii de către elevi la învăţarea prin descoperire, ei învaţă să înveţe, dezvoltându-şi în acest mod abilităţile şi strategiile cognitive pe care le vor folosi şi adapta în diverse alte situaţii. Acest fapt aduce o mare flexibilitate în învăţare şi în stimularea elevilor de a se implica în procesul educaţional şi de a deveni parteneri ai profesorului în cadrul clasei.

Let’s put the project into the curriculum Calculatorul nu poate înlocui cadrul didactic, care rămâne o prezenţă activă, vie, în comunicarea cu elevii, iar relaţia aceasta nu poate fi substituită de lecţiile interactive. Profesorul rămâne factorul care aduce resursele personale, umane, în procesul educativ şi care se angajează cu întreaga sa personalitate în educaţie. Profesorul este cel care stabileşte comunicarea vie cu elevii, prin intuiţie, empatie, creativitate şi adaptabilitate continuă la specificul elevilor săi şi este cel care modelează şi caracterele acestora. În acest proces, calculatorul este un instrument auxiliar folosit de profesor, instrument care modifică sistemul de învăţare tradiţional şi permite căderea barierelor în accesarea informaţiilor. În predarea variatelor discipline: chimie, fizică, matematică, geografie, biologie, psihologie, se folosesc, în prezent, pe scară largă, softurile educaţionale, adică lecţii interactive adaptate nivelelor de vârstă şi claselor respective. Astfel, calculatorul este cel care oferă instruirea elevilor, fiecare lecţie urmând nişte secvenţe şi fiind dirijată de profesor, cel care stabileşte şi obiectivele educaţionale. De multe ori, calculatorul oferă şi modalităţi de exerciţiu după ce conţinuturile lecţiei au fost prezentate, pentru predarea unor elemente de bază, aşa cum sunt operaţiile aritmetice – adunarea, scăderea, înmulţirea şi împărţirea. La finalul secvenţelor de învăţare, există şi posibilitatea ca elevii să fie testaţi pentru a conştientiza informaţiile pe care le-au memorat şi înţeles şi pentru a corecta eventualele erori sau lacune. Testarea se realizează de obicei prin intermediul itemilor cu alegere multiplă, elevilor dându-li-se astfel posibilitatea de a reveni asupra celor învăţate şi de a consolida informaţia. Simulările utilizate în cadrul lecţiilor virtuale sunt de multe ori spectaculoase pentru elevi. Astfel, ei pot vedea cum se formează, de exemplu, formele de relief, pot asista la experimente de fizică sau de chimie, sau pot vizualiza rotirea în spaţiu a diferitelor forme geometrice. Înţelegerea diferitelor procese şi fenomene este mult uşurată prin oferirea unui suport vizual elevilor, aceştia devenind mult mai motivaţi să participe la lecţie şi să înveţe. Soft-ul educaţional poate reprezenta totodată şi un instrument cu ajutorul căruia elevul să înveţe prin explorare. Astfel, pot fi utilizate programe cu care elevii să scrie diferite texte literare sau să compună versuri, să realizeze aplicaţii pentru baze de date sau pentru a realiza un calcul tabelar. Elevii utilizează soft-ul în mod activ pentru a rezolva mai multe sarcini de gândire, ceea ce duce la o învăţare eficientă şi durabilă. Profesorul este din nou cel care setează obiectivele învăţării şi fixează cadrul în care se desfăşoară activitatea elevilor. Altă modalitate de utilizare a calculatorului în procesul instructiv-educativ este de a oferi resurse care să fie căutate şi accesate de către elevi, profesorul fiind cel care propune conţinuturile de învăţare sau temele. Fiind ales un subiect care va fi supus discuţiei în cadrul clasei de elevi, profesorul ridică diverse întrebări legate de subiectul respectiv, elevii având ca sarcină să răspundă la aceste întrebări, să găsească informaţiile adecvate, să le organizeze şi să ofere răspunsurile cerute. Folosirea calculatorului ca sursă de informaţii este foarte importantă, elevii putând accesa, de exemplu, Internetul sau enciclopediile multimedia. Acest mod de abordare stimulează P a g e 163 | 188 This project is funded by the European Union

Erasmus+ 2015-1-BG01-KA219-014218

Sa punem proiectele in programa învăţarea prin descoperire la elevi. Ei nu mai sunt cei care recepţionează informaţii, ci trebuie, în primul rând, să înţeleagă întrebările pe care profesorul le pune, urmând ca apoi să găsească ei înşişi informaţiile şi să le sintetizeze. Elevii sunt cei responsabili de găsirea informaţiilor din diferite surse, fiind incitant pentru el să ajungă la propriile concluzii. Este mai important modul în care elevul ajunge la aceste concluzii şi nu rezultatul în sine, aici intervenind procesul de gândire, modul de raţionament şi analiza şi sinteza informaţiilor. Având o anumită temă, cum este, de exemplu, fenomenul de încălzire globală, răspunsurile elevilor pot fi foarte variate la întrebările propuse de cadrul didactic, dar este mult mai important modul în care ei argumentează aceste răspunsuri, sursele de informare şi dezbaterile ce pot fi generate în cadrul clasei, pornind de la această bază. Profesorul este aici un facilitator al învăţării, nu mai este cel care oferă informaţiile de-a gata, iar sarcina pe care elevul o are de realizat este mai mult calitativă decât cantitativă. Crearea proiectelor multimedia este un alt mod de a utiliza calculatorul în cadrul procesului educativ. Pe de o parte, cadrele didactice pot fi cele care realizează prezentări multimedia şi le proiectează în cadrul clasei, prezentând diferite conţinuturi elevilor, fapt foarte des utilizat astăzi în şcoli. Pe de altă parte, elevii pot fi cei care construiesc propriile prezentări multimedia ca proiecte la diferite discipline, susţinându-le în faţa profesorului şi a elevilor din clasă. Acest tip de proiecte favorizează dezvoltarea creativităţii, pun în mişcare un sistem complex de integrare a informaţiilor şi abilităţilor, utilizându-se calculatorul practic ca un mijloc de comunicare. Modalitatea de creare de proiecte multimedia poate fi desfăşurată sub forma lucrului în echipă compusă din 3-6 elevi, ceea ce implică dezvoltarea la elevi a abilitărilor de colaborare, negociere, asumare de responsabilităţi. Şi în acest caz, profesorul are rolul de a facilita dezvoltarea proiectului, ajutându-i pe elevi atât la familiarizarea cu tehnologia, dacă este cazul, cât şi pe parcursul proiectului, însă elevii vor fi cei care decid conţinuturile şi forma prezentării. Calculatorul este utilizat însă nu numai în procesul clasic de predare-învăţare, ci şi în activitatea consilierilor psihopedagogi de orientare şcolară şi profesională a elevilor. Astfel, calculatorul poate fi utilizat pentru îndrumare şi orientare, fiind vorba despre programe interactive care oferă informaţii despre piaţa muncii sau despre diferite meserii, programe care pot facilita găsirea unui loc de muncă disponibil sau teste pentru stabilirea intereselor sau aptitudinilor profesionale. Calculatorul poate fi utilizat cu succes în şcoală, prin jocuri şi simulări – pentru învăţarea meseriilor, programe de autoevaluare – administrează chestionare şi stabilesc un profil al ocupaţiilor potrivite persoanei respective, teste psihometrice, redactare a CV-urilor, scrisorilor de prezentare sau de motivaţie, programe de ajutor în luarea deciziilor sau programe de căutare a informaţiilor – cele prin care poţi găsi locuri de muncă pe baza unor criterii stabilite. Toate acestea oferă elevilor o bază foarte importantă pentru pregătirea lor viitoare şi pentru integrarea lor socio-profesională, facilitându-le accesul mai uşor la piaţa muncii şi la deciziile de carieră. Există şi o serie de programe care pot fi utilizate pentru consilierea personală a elevilor, pe diferite problematici: prevenirea şi combaterea consumului de alcool în rândul elevilor, sau Page 164 | 188 Erasmus+ 2015-1-BG01-KA219-014218

Let’s put the project into the curriculum educaţie în sfera sexualităţii. Aceste programe pot fi parcurse în sesiuni succesive, oferind elevilor oportunitatea de a se implica în diferite decizii prin simularea unor scenarii din viaţa reală şi prin analizarea consecinţelor acestor decizii. Nici în cadrul consilierii, calculatorul nu poate înlocui relaţia directă dintre profesionist şi elevul consiliat, relaţie care oferă un cadru important pentru schimbare şi evoluţie a elevului, fiind însă un instrument util şi cu o largă aplicabilitate. Având în vedere toate acestea, calculatorul este astăzi cel care facilitează atingerea unor scopuri importante în învăţare şi poate fi utilizat de către cadrele didactice într-o varietate de situaţii. Pregătirea lecţiei în care este utilizat calculatorul este deosebit de importantă pentru profesor, deoarece atingerea obiectivelor de învăţare depinde în cea mai mare măsură de proiectarea didactică şi de stabilirea prealabilă a secvenţelor lecţiei. Cadrului didactic îi revine sarcina, foarte complexă, de a-şi antrena întreaga creativitate şi abilitate de a îmbina mijloacele tradiţionale cu cele inovative în cadrul lecţiei, în funcţie de obiectivele sale şi de adaptarea la caractersiticile psiho-individuale ale elevilor săi.

Abstract — Nowadays one of the most important active steps for the teaching systems is the possibility of adapting to the development of the technology and keeping track of the new trends in the fields such as ICT and IoT.Starting with the statistical development of these two concepts and the new technology trends, it must be said that, looking back, the teaching systems of the last decade have suffered a lot of changes influenced by the expansion of technology in this field.This article focuses on the results obtained in the Erasmus+ project 2015-1-BG01-KA219-014218-“Opening up education through the school projects and ICT”, that influence the teaching methodology in the “Independenta” high school. The study proposes an entire perspective over the teaching systems and educational process according to the new IT technology and the way of this technology influences the students learning ways. According to the time and the students’ ability to adapt, there is proposed a new model of teaching system based on web technology, interconnected tools and connectivity possibilities for better transfer for the information and better adaptation for the learning tools. Also there are presented a lot of measurements of implementing reports and results of new teaching methods involved in this project. Keywords—ICT(Information and communications technology ) IoT(Internet of things); teaching systems; modern teaching system ;

I. INTRODUCTION In our days, all the studies confirm that IoT has grown and developed as fast as the Internet. The Internet of Things, the connection of devices to the Internet is today part of the evolution and development that influences a lot of areas of everyday life. It is obvious that this influences today the teaching methods because the Internet has deeply rooted itself into our schools and elearning has become an actual method of learning in American school system and also in all the world systems. One of the main advantages of those applications consists in the efficiency of the resources taking into account the space, the time, the papers and the physicals needs of the teaching methodology. Also, with this opportunity, the teachers can use this technology to create “smart lessons”, rather than the traditional methods. It is most convenient to explore the students’ imagination, according to the new technology, that enables teachers to monitor all the teaching times, to offer images and video presentations in real times, or to compile and test algorithms with high capacity of computing with a higher audience or in front of hundreds of students. Research giant Gartner has estimated that 6.4 billion things will be connected to the internet and cloud in 2016, which is a 30% increase from 2015. They also estimate that by the end of the decade over 20 billion devices will be connected [1]. It is obvious that this development will influence the teaching tools and also will create new methods for the learning Page 166 | 188 Erasmus+ 2015-1-BG01-KA219-014218

Let’s put the project into the curriculum courses. Smart technologies offer an optimal consumption of resources starting from the papers and to all the education process times, distances and money. II.

THE OLD AEL PLATFORM AND RESULTS OVER THE YEARS

The “Independenta” high school has been using for more than 10 years the AEL platform for the E-learning lessons. This platform is a highly flexible system, which can be used in different languages, regions, levels of study and types of educational institutions [2]. The platform offers complete functionality for all participants in the educational process: 1. Students 2. Teachers 3. Directors of educational institutions 4. Administrative staff The factors responsible for the good performance of the educational process have an appropriate support in the decision-making, control, planning, tracking and forecasting environment through the AEL platform. With the help of this platform, which was provided to support teaching, testing, evaluation, and management of the educational process, and is currently one of the methods used. This environment is suitable to support a learning environment, fast, flexible and adaptable. Also, this platform enhances students' assimilation, stimulates analytical thinking, but also provides a boost to teamwork and collaboration. One of the most important problems in the learning process is the passing of the subjects from the automatic memorization process to the discovery process by experimenting or actively acquiring knowledge. In the next graphic there is presented the evolution on notes obtained by the students on the 5 different study subjects with records from the classical teaching methods versus the AEL system of courses, but in different consecutive years. It is observed that the E-learning tool offers better results with a difference average of 0.5 points. It must be said that the marks in Romania are included from 1 to 10. This study offers a perspective of the future of the teaching systems and give advice that the new online methods can be accepted by the students. It must be said that these types of courses and tests are done in the high school labs with the hardware and software offered by the school.

Another important step in the evolution of the teaching systems is offered by the feed-back of the students. Over the years, more that 80% preferred the e-learning method despite the classical methods. More of the students are accustomed to the new techniques and very interested in the evolution of smart devices for communications. Starting from last year a lot of students look very interested in the E-twinning idea and were enrolled in a series of specific activities in the interest of education. III.

PROPOSED STRUCTURE/ARCHITECTURE OF NEW E-LEARNING SYSTEM

It is obvious that the AEL platform offers a good but a old system for the E-learning techniques. After that there were tested a lot of free online systems for different courses such as Moodle, Sakai, Latitude Learning, Schoology, with the popularity ordered, our experience confirms that a good system for learning must be actual with the smart technologies in full development today. One of the first challenge is to offer the possibility to the student to access and to complete the homework on every location and with what smart device they want. The homework tests must be with resolutions only once and only once saved, but access via a laptop, smartphone or another device by the browser access. Also the courses can be accessed on-line.

Figure 1: Accessibility system [3]

According to the IoT trends, there must be listed a lot of new methods: mobile learning, gamification, virtual worlds, smart objects. The smart learning environment must contain recommends learning tools or strategies, detect the real-world context and to adapts the learning context to the public. Another interesting study is proposed by the [4] where the internet of things is presented in the smart school with a lot of smart objects. A poster for this compared study is presented in the next picture.

This study presents a full oriented connectivity school with complete coverage wi-fi with high performance, wi-fi sensors for classrooms doors, network application analytics monitors, augmented and virtual reality, surveillance security cameras, online testing methods, international collaboration such in the Erasmus + project, also e-books, tablets, and smartphones. This full connectivity has a lot of advantages and will be the future of learning in accordance with the fast adaptability of the childrens with the new technology. Our proposed system can offer the possibility to the students to schedule each time for the school activity beeing an online activity with deadline for homeworks, also a multicultural platform can be developed with such kind of tools for internet learning. Another improvement for the classical E-learning tools consists in the possibility of accessing from every places and at every hour, because the AEL platform does not offer this possibility. Flexibility is one of the most important things in this type of work for the students. The last facility is the possibility to work in independent teams and to organize these teams, to manage the time for studying and for testing by the students in groups. It must be said that the real distances between the students can be around 20 km and this online distributed system offers the possibility to access the accounts with a key of authentication such a personal social network, and to work with the team partners. ď&#x201A;ˇ

FUTURE WORK

Starting with the last multicultural project, with the partners from Bulgaria and Serbia this type of system can be extended to a multicultural platform for e-learning and for study in mixed teams. The base for this next step in the phenomenon of globalization will be to offer support in the main access to this account and to offer a forum possibility to teachers, administrative staff, students and parents to organize the study courses together.

CONCLUSIONS

One of the most important factors for the technological development of the learning systems consists in the flexibility of students offered today by the ICT possibilities and also by the IoT global connectivity. This study offers a perspective over some types of systems of learning used in [5], with multicultural factors. Starting with the old AEL system for learning used in the “Independenta” High School and from the resulted tests over the years, in this article is presented a new extension possible for an E-learning platform adapted to the new technologies and to the new concerns of the students. Along the study there was observed a good improvement in the interest shown by students for modern learning systems, for interconnectivity, but also for the possibilities of using new technologies and games to learn. This study proposes also a new extension for the next cultural research partners in the specific fields of the teaching environment, but also for the development of new tools adapted to the students' demands. 

Abstract — In this article is presented a new structure for big databases with information about high schools graduated students. This big data structure is useful for the big universities, for the big schools and also for companies and students to manage every skill and information about studies. In accordance with the evolution of the technology, the influence of IoT and the needs of big data information, it must be said that, in the future it is a need to develop such kind of structures according to the geographical career evolution. This study proposes a new perspective over this connection systems between high schools, universities and companies. This structure is based on the ICT capability of students, ease of access, the cost benefits and also a time and money benefits is expected to be explored at the European state level. This big data system is expected to be the next level of globalization because nowadays the possibility to access every university in the world requires a lot of costs for the enrolment and for acceptance. A feedback from the students of “Independenta” high-school and the collaborative project Erasmus+ 2015-1-BG01-KA219014218-“Opening up education through the school projects and ICT”. It can be considered a start for this proposed ideas. Keywords—information; connection systems; big database; Iot-Internet of Things;ICT- Information and communications technology ;  INTRODUCTION

In our days, globalization and the development of areas such as IoT gives a perspective in the educational systems. The new developed technologies offer possibility of access from every places and also keep information in big databases all over the educational career. In Romania, there were considered problems the integration of students from the high-school to universities and the lack of access to information for the career development. A big problem was found when a percentage around 30% of the students from the last year in college do not know what option to choose for the next level of preparation in the last year. Starting from this premise, it can be said that there is a difference between the information sources and the access of college students for the career development. Also in the universities part, a lot of information about the teaching and forming studies is hard to obtain and to access when students decided to choose a specialty. The first step of this proposed structure is to develop the ICT resources. A good example was proposed in the Malaysian school system. Introducing ICT into all schools in the country is a major undertaking, but it represents an investment in the future productivity of Malaysia’s workforce and a down-payment on the country’s future prosperity [1]. It is obvious that the education investment is the best strategy

One of the problems of the Romanian system is the rate of the college graduate students that do not follow a university and do not have a thorough study specialty. Nowadays with a facile access to the information system, to the connectivity systems is hard to explain this problem observed also in Bulgaria, but this study will propose a new big information connection database for ease of access and enrolment possibilities.  NEW DATABSE MODEL FOR EASE OF ACCES

Starting with the project, it can be said that the students from the “Independenta” high school from Calafat, Romania and "Tzar Simeon Veliki" high school from Vidin, Bulgaria will be able to adapt to every new technology in the field of ICT. The basic scheme of the ICT influence in an education system is presented in the next figure. Starting from this figure, the ICT capabilities of the students will make them adapt with ease every new system in the terms of internet and communication systems. Our project for the big database proposes a new strategy in the Educational models and a new communication system for the administrative staff of the colleges and universities and also the minister and central staffs. The retired from the former graduates is given by the transfer of the study documents, of the scholarships, between the high schools and the universities and their placement for the purpose of the specialty areas preferred by the students. The main information that will compose the big portal with the big data information are listed: 1)

Date of birth

Birthplace

Years of high school studies

Profile / Specialization

The grades obtained in the basics

National exam notes

Completions of training

Figure 1: Conceptual Framework for ICT Monitoring and Evaluation [2]

Also a good point will be the exam information, the dates for exams and the evaluation capabilities given by the universities to the future students. Most teenagers say the Internet's ability to help them with their schoolwork and to help them learn new things is one of its best features [3]. This potential role as educational tool is often the primary reasons why families get Internet access. Three-quarters of online teens (78%) say the Internet helps them do their schoolwork-47% say it helps them a lot [4]. Starting from this evolution, it can be said that an online system will be helpful for the step from college to university and for the best specialization for the students. A good example of University banner is presented in the next figure. In this figure is posted a banner of the Stamford University for access by students.

Figure 2: Stamford M.B.A. Admission Day [5]

The communication portal will support a lot of these types of web posters and announces for every university. In the next figure there is presented an empirical scheme of the proposed structures of information according to the students’ educational levels and to the universities’ requirements.

Sa punem proiectele in programa It must be mentioned that this structure is a basic one and can suffer a lot of changes according to the students feed-back and the administrative staff feed backs.

Figure 3: Model of the proposed databases

The Web also has the advantage of providing access to primary sources of information in most media (print, graphics, photographs, audio, and video) through streaming. This technology requires good organizational and pedagogical skills to profit from its enormous potential, and college training in its use will be essential [6]. Another good example is provided by the next proposed scheme in a Data Flow Diagram proposed by a project for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Student information System DFDâ&#x20AC;?, in [7] and use a new architecture for the admission system for the student in a university data base.

Figure 4: A Data

Flow Diagram [7]

Starting from the last diagram presented, the student information system must be able to offer information about the student according to the exam of the faculty. One of the most important improvement proposed is to transfer the information between college and universities online and to check the students previous experience and formation in real time.

Nowadays the education systems are in a full development and offer a big structures of dates according with the technology evolution. This study offers a proposed online portal for ease of access for students for the step between the college and universities. This online system must be able to synchronize the information from the education system along the career and to offer smart technologies access for students to the ads, to universities news and periods for admission. This study can be implemented on a multicultural architecture and can manage the students’ career. A good faculty means a good opportunity for the career and for a good job. The organized use of Web resources and collaboration tools for curriculum appropriate purposes is called telecollaboration. Judi Harris defines telecollaboration as “an educational endeavor that involves people in different locations using Internet tools and resources to work together. Much educational telecollaboration is curriculum-based, teacher-designed, and teacher-coordinated [9]. This proposed project can be implemented in the Romanian and Bulgarian study system and can offer a good time saving and mobility, but the students must be accustomed with the ICT tools. One of the basic points presented is related to the structure and general information about the studies that the future students of the university will be able to complete online and will be able to be checked in partnership with the graduate high schools. This proposal is just one step of the process of implementing the connection between universities and high schools on a multicultural level and managing professional evolution. 

ETWINNING PROJECTS – A MOTIVATING FACTOR FOR BOOSTINGTHE KNOWLEDGE OF ENGLISH AT SCHOOL Maya Kyulevchieva, a teacher of English, Ivan Vazov Language school Plovdiv, Bulgaria Abstract: The article presents briefly the main steps of the international eTwinning project “Click – Creative Learning in a Computer Kingdom” performed by 6 teams from Bulgaria, Poland, Italy, Greece and the Czech Republic. The author reviews the stages of applying different Web 2.0 tools such as Voki, Quizlet, Quizizz, Padlet, Dotstorming, etc. to English lessons in 8 grade in a creative way as powerful support in English teaching and learning.

It is a well-known fact that today, in the environment impregnated with technologies and absolutely natural for the new generations, while “new” only for us, the older generation, school is obliged to go together with the spirit of new and not to trudge behind our students. How to motivate students to study, to remember, if all the necessary information can be get with a click? How to motivate them to look for challenges and to face them? How to stir up their curiosity and keep their attention on a problem? Today every teacher looks for their own answers to these questions. Hardly is there a panacea, an only method to apply to every single case. But there is an instrument that has been inspiring and helping thousands of teachers and students to go together to the answers, doing it with pleasure for more than ten years. The instrument is called eTwinning- a real academy of knowledge, creativity, friendship and development in all directions. Students enjoy taking part in project work and always achieve higher results than their peers that have never been touched by the magic of eTwinning. It is not less important for the teachers to know this powerful instrument as it does not burden, it does not oblige but spreads knowledge, gives skills and leads to dissemination of the accumulated experience. I am saying this all with the conviction of a person having been working on eTwinning projects for ten years already, a person who knows very well their advantages. Over the years I have tried various ways to build up my teams – from teams of 5 -6 volunteers, or more numerous ones to involving the whole class to work. My last three projects were performed in a more or less constant co-operation with colleagues from Poland, Greece, Italy. This school year we have decided to study how a different use of new technologies will affect the progress in studying English at school. I involved my whole class of 8 graders and only a few of them had previous experience with eTwinning projects. The project CLICK – Creative Learning in a Computer Kingdom involves 6 partner schools from the abovementioned countries plus the Czech Republic and a second partner from Italy. The main idea is to promote the use of Web 2.0 tools in foreign language teaching, specifically in English language teaching. We had planned to use tools to activate the essential skills in foreign language teaching – listening, speaking, writing, as well as tools to help development of students’ vocabulary and grammar.

Erasmus+ 2015-1-BG01-KA219-014218

Sa punem proiectele in programa The first challenge – getting to know the project partners, was based on use of Voki. In our lessons we were just at the stage of studying suitable phrases to meet people so it was straight to the point: the students chose different Voki avatars and briefly told the others about themselves. The next step required applying their listening skills while deciding who is who: they had to listen carefully to other members’ presentations and tried to recognize the person catching some key skills or other features, e.g. who likes fishing, who likes writing poems, who sings, etc. We find this stage very important as our students could listen to various accents and pronunciation. Catching the mistakes in other people’s speech is also a skill not to ignore – it builds up attentiveness, self-control while speaking and aspiration for self-perfection. The next project step aimed to find the proper tool for accelerating the process of vocabulary studying. Here we talk about tools, typically used by teachers as ready-made sets that check the level of students’ knowledge. We wanted our students to step in teachers’ shoes and to create tests for their classmates. All students were divided into groups and worked in cooperation in international teams, which is one of the most highly valued features of the eTwinning projects. Every team had a specific topic to work with in the frame of the common task – to create a set of cards with illustrations and explanation of vocabulary studied by everyone: food, vegetables, home, shopping, human body, sport, etc. The tool chosen was Quizlet. This tool offers a great variety of options to work with the language. Once created, the cards, meeting the exact needs of a specific group, in our case – the project, can be used in different ways as the software has set options: multiple choice, matching games, spelling and pronunciational tasks and so on, all quite necessary for vocabulary study. In the beginning, the students started working uncertainly, but later they got enthusiastic and some of them created sets of 70, 80 even 120 cards. The moment of truth came when the collaboratively created sets had to be tested in class. The spirit of competition grabbed everybody, not a single student stayed indifferent. Even the most passive during the lessons students were now interested and tried to show knowledge and quick reflexes. It is the moment when a teacher feels satisfaction seeing the result of the efforts to motivate students to work, to show them that every moment of devotion was worth. And the benefits were quite visible. Only a few days later in a spontaneous conversation with my students it turned out that some of them had recognized Quizlet as their necessary tool for studying vocabulary, they had made their own accounts and had started creating sets to be used when studying new topics and revising. After finishing the next step we played in class again! And no one could blame us for wasting our time because this step resulted with ten grammar tests, each of them covering a specific topic – verb tenses, prepositions, adverbs, degrees of comparison, etc., created again in collaboration in international teams, using the tool Quizizz. Every team created a challenge for the others. At this stage every team had a teacher-mentor who could help or correct the suggested phrases. To avoid mistakes and anonymity, the questions first had to appear on Padlet walls. This tool gives great visibility and it was the reason to use another tool – Tricider to vote for the most active participant andDotstorming to point out the most interesting questions. Have you ever heard from your students the request: “Teacher, please, let us do a test!”? How often has it happened after the bell rings the end of the lesson students to ask not to interrupt the test and they refuse to have a break before they finish the Quizizz tests. Not Page 178 | 188 Erasmus+ 2015-1-BG01-KA219-014218

Let’s put the project into the curriculum because they want to get a higher mark but because it is fun. Well, I have already had several such requests after trying the Quizizz tests in class. I offered these tests to be played in pairs, in small or bigger groups as in our classrooms we lack computers and not all students own smart devices. We played the tests for fun, but I could see how seriously the students were reading the questions before choosing the answer. I enjoyed immensely their reactions to the mistakes or to the correct choices. But I also realized that these tests can be used to examine individual students on specific grammar topic and download and save the results. Also, Quizizz has a “Homework” setting which is still another excellent option to apply it as a useful tool in class. One more wonderful feature of the tool while creating a test is that you can easily import questions from other tests. Now we have 10 topic-centered tests. They are fantastic way to get ready for an exam, to revise. But the tests can be mixed up so that they contain questions from various topics, which is even a better method of revising. Or even testing students because of the options to jumble the questions and answers, thus avoiding the attempts to cheat. Our last step is more discovery-oriented. This time in national teams, students have to store various mobile apps suitable for developing different skills and knowledge – listening, speaking and pronunciation, grammar tests, vocabulary, games, etc. The apps have to correspond with students age group and to be applicable at different stages of English language studying. The choices, descriptions and recommendations of the apps are displayed on Google presentations, another very useful collaborative tool. All the suggested apps will be collected in an e-reference book. Meanwhile, for exchanging Christmas greetings, more interesting tools were used: Blabberize, as well asThinglink. Bulgarian students’ personal greetings were recorded with Vocaroo,and after that we hid the record in aQR code. If you have a scanner or a reader on your smart device, you can hear them. Even these small steps of our project were important as they provoked students’ interest. Inclusion of those indifferent students into games – tests of Quizlet, Quizizz and other tools of Web 2.0 is far not insignificant as nowadays attracting attention of the young people and keeping it is becoming a harder and harder task. Why do I consider our project successful? Because the fact, that students look for the tests created by the international teams, open and use them again just on their own will to play, to study or to revise, the fact that they are willing to prolong the lesson in order to play a grammar test, talks about the realized necessity of these and other tools usefulness.All the tests created during our work on the project will be a priceless recourse in our preparation for the final exam in 8th grade. I have already taken the chance several times, while substituting missing colleagues, to offer some of the tests to be played by other classes, even higher grades. They all admitted that it is a great way to advance in English studying and expressed their disappointment with not having worked like that. Another positive feature of the project is its long-term dissemination: the created products will be used in my work during the following years, with other students of my school. But also, due to the public character of the Quizlet and Quizizz tests, the influence will spread over anybody searching through them. The evaluation as well as the final analyses of the results are still to be done, but what I know for sure is that we will apply for a Quality Label, as our project meets all the criteria of a quality project and personally to me this project proved just another time the usefulness of implementing eTwinning projects in the curriculum.

Building up a Better World Elena Lazarova Prosveta Sofia Foundation, Bulgaria Every individual is unique,equally worthy and has the right to live according to their beliefs, customs,practices and established behavior rules. Globalization and migration have brought together peoplefrom different ethnic origins, religious backgrounds,beliefs, traditions and languages, but sharing a common space does not automatically result in overcoming the boundaries of historically constituted communities;it does not necessarily involve opening yourself to Otherness. In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world we need to learn to be more tolerant and value diversity, to learn from each other and build stronger and more dynamic societies. Schooling can play a key role for overcoming the historically developed negative attitudes to Otherness. To do so, teachers and students need tools and training. The Prosveta-Sofia KA2 Erasmus+ Othernessproject was designed to support teachers in their mission to teach students to open up to Otherness and value diversity. The partners - 3 NGOs from Bulgaria, Italy and Greece, and a university from Portugal - have created a Teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Manual comprising 48 teaching activities and 121 digital resources under 3 topics: Human Rights, Diversity and Active Citizenship, which are freely available at http://othernessproject.eu/en/activities_en/. Students take part in numerous interactive games, guided drama activities, computer simulations, etc., watch videos and participate in group discussions.

Проектният цикъл и управленските функции в детската градина, работеща по европейски проекти Project cycle and management functions in a kindergarten, working on European projects Евгения Михова, директор на ДГ“Братя Грим“, гр. Шумен, докторант към ШУ“Еп.К. Преславски“, eTwinning посланик Abstract : The report presents a survey among Bulgarian teachers and directors of kindergartens, which working on European projects. The relationship between the project cycle and the management of the childcare facilities is considered in the view of respondents. The results show excellent thematic preparation and a clear vision of the importance of this interrelation. Respondents see difficulty in identifying the controller's control function with control over the work of a project. The most pronounced management function, according to respondents, is motivation.

В условята на обединена Европа на учителите се дава възможност да споделят, обменят и развиват своеите професионални умения чрез проектни дейности. Първо чрез програма „Учене през целия живот“/2007-2013/, а сега и чрез програма „Еразъм+“ се насърчава проектния подход, както в преподаването, така и в мениджмънта на класа и образователната институция. Проектинят цикъл има процес на планиране, организиране, провеждане на дейностите и отчитане, което кореспондира с планирането, организирането и контрола в детското заведение. Мотивираната работа присъства и в двата аспекта. За да се очертае ясната взаимовръзка между проектния цикъл и управлението на персонала в този тип дейности,бе направена анкета. Попълнена е от 55 учители и директори. Те са от Шумен, Пловдив, Добрич, Гоце Делчев. 10,9% от тях са на възраст до 25 години, 21,82% са във възрастовата граница между 26-40г., 49,9% са между 41 и 50г., а останалите 20% - над 50 години. В тази извадка има 20% бакалаври и 70,91% магистри, като 9,09% не са дали отговор. В извадката отговор за сали 20% учители, 67,27% старши учители, 7,27% главни учители и 5,45% директори. Към настоящия момент вече няма длъжност младши учител- тя е приравнена с учител. В тази анкета без никакъв опит са 16,36%, с много малък-34,54%, среден такъв имат45,45%, а богат са посочили 3,63%. Зададен бе затворен въпрос: „Имате ли представа какво е проектен цикъл?“, с четири възможности за отговор- да, не, отчасти, не мога да преценя. Значителна част – 40% заявяват твърдо „да“. Малко повече от половината дават отговор „отчасти“ 50.90%, а 5,45% не могат да преценят. Още толкова категорично не са наясно с това понятие. Те са млади учители, без опит в проектната дейност. Резултатът демонстрира много добра теоретична подготовка на анкетираните педагози- всички работещи в детски градини. Той кореспондира с отговорите за наличие на някакъв проектен опит. Това дава основание да се даде доверие на преценката по следващите въпроси. Следващият въпрос е формулиран така: „Има ли връзка, според Вас, между проектния цикъл и управленските процеси в детската градина,в която работите?“. Това есъщо затворен въпрос с познатите вече четири възможности за отговор. Категорично виждат връзка цели 70,91% от запитаните, а още 18,18% я определят като „отчасти“,7,28% не могат да преценят и 3,63% категорично не виждат взаимовръзка.

Let’s put the project into the curriculum Последните две групи са от млади учители и такива без никакъв или малък опит в проектната дейност. Преживяната практика и теоретичната подготовка са дали основание на почти 90% от запитаните да видят ясна взаимовръзка. Важно е да се разбере дали работещите по проекти виждат ролята на директора с неговите управленски функции достатъчно ангажиран с проектния цикъл и доколко това е общ процес. Следващият въпрос е:“Управленските функции на директора- планиране, организиране, мотивиране, контрол, като цяло в детската градина свързани ли са с тези в проектния цикъл?“. И този затворен въпрос има същите четири възможности за отговор. Категорично „да“ отговарят 61,82% от запитаните , а 25,45% го виждат отчасти. Много малк процент- 5,45% са отговорили с „не“, а 7,28% не са могли да преценят. Последните са млади учители без проектен опит. От над 70% виждащи категорична връзка между проектния цикъл и управлението, тук малко над 60% посочват че тези процеси са напълно имплантирани в живота на тяхното детско заведение. Около 10% от техните гласове се преместват в отговор на последния въпрос „отчасти“, като от отговорите на въпрос по-долу, може да се направи извод ,че най-трудно виждат контрола в тази ситуация. Със следващият въпрос се оценява способността на анкетираните да наблюдават и оценят този процес. Проектинят цикъл има процес на планиране, организиране, провеждане на дейностите и отчитане, което кореспондира с планирането, организирането и контрола в детското заведение. Въпросът е :“ Ако имате проектен опит, считате ли, че работата по проекти е допринесла за подобряване качеството на организация, планиране и организиране в детското заведение?“. Също затворен с четирите познати възможности за отговор. Отново голям процент дава твърдо положителна оценка, отговаряйки с „да“- 69.09%. Още 20% посочват „отчасти“ ,а 7,27% не могат да пеценят. Има и отговори с „не“ 3,64%. С трудности в преценката са отново младите учители, без проектен опит. Тази категоричност в положителното отношение дава снование да се направи извод че проектите като цяло подпомагат управленските процеси. Извървяването на проектния цикъл учи и добавя стойност към качеството на управление на детската градина. Ценно е, че това е мнение повече на учители, предвид профила на анкетираните. Последният въпрос в тази анкета цели да извади на преден план най-ценното за управленския процес, което се постига чрез проектните дейности. В предходните отговори стана ясно ,че повечето анкетирани виждат ползата във всеки един от тях, но тук се търси провокация към тях да изведат най-полезните. Питането е :“ Кое от посочените е най-силно провлияно от проектната дейност, според Вас?“. Въпросът е затворен със седем възможни отговора, като всеки анкетиран има право да избере три от тях. Те са: • Планиране, • Организиране, • Мотивиране, • Контрол, • Работа в екип, • Авторитет и самочувствие, • Квалификация. P a g e 183 | 188 This project is funded by the European Union

Sa punem proiectele in programa Всички твърдения са изведени от отговори на въпроси в основната анкета и са пряко свързани както с проектния цикъл, така и с управленския процес в детската градина.Планиране и организиране- изцяло, конторлът е в релация с мониорнга и отчета, работата в екип е важна за качеството на изпъленние, авторитетът и самочувствието са условие за удовлетвореност и показател за успехав двете посоки,квалификацията е въздействие, резултат и условие за по-нататъчна ползотворна работа. Тук се представят две процентни скали, като първата е спрямо всички анкетирани, а втората като процент от общия брой дадени отговори, предвид дадената възможност за до три такива. Спрямо всички анкетирани процентното съотнощение е следното: планиране 20%, организиране- 52,75%, мотивиране- 43,63% контрол- 3,63%, работа в екип- 67,27%, авторитет исамочувствие- 49,09%, кв- 8,73%, организиране-23,01%, мотивиране19,05%, контрол-1,58%, работа в екип- 29,36%, авторитет и самочувствие- 21,43% и квалификация- 21,19%. Тук отчетливо най-много отговори са дадени за работата в екип, следвана от организиране, авторитет и самочувствие и квалификация. От резултатите става ясно ,че анкетираните виждат най-трудно контролната функция на директора в пряка взаимовръзка с проектния цикъл. Малко по-голямо доверие събира планирането, но то също е явно трудно разпознаваемо в този смисъл. Това е твърде условно, защото анкетираните е трябвало да изберат само три от предложенията, т.е. по презумция останалите остават важни, но не в най-голяма степен. Това ставя ясно и от възможността ,която е дадена в края на анкетата, за споделяне на нещо от запитаните. Интересен е големия процент запитани, които отдават сериозно значение на придобития авторитет и самочувствие. В контекста на трудните условия за работа и ниския обществен авторитет на професията, запитаните виждат възможност в поректната дейност, която подпомага самочувствието им и възможността да повдигнат авторитета на учителската професиа и сектора като цяло. От представените резултати става ясно, че проектния цикъл е заел място в работата на активните детски градини. Работата во европейски програма изгражда умения като работа в екип мултикултурна среда и др., които са изключително важни за успеха на всяка институция. Директорите- новатори търсят възможността, която дават европейските проекти, за да постигат по-добри резлтати в пряката си педагогическа едйност, но и да доразвиват своя екип.
