Reflections and tentative conclusions about the cooperation. What did we expect? What have we achieved?
On the whole
The school blog is ultimately a colourful magazino, in which the students will present themselves and their genuine interests in multimodal texts made up of ideas, images, sound and video, without offending or provoking. Suggestions and recommendations are welcome.
Our main objectives are to deepen the students' awareness of the global nature and potential of the Internet, to sensitise them to the significance of the respect to the human being, to deepen the relationships between European teenagers, to acquaint them with other European cultures, to promote tolerance towards the other, to make peaceful coexistence possible for all.
English is essential, parallel to their native languages, where necessary.
Posts include multigeneric texts (of a wide range of text types) such as diagrams, sketches (created by the students or computer scanned), pictures, animation, zigzaw puzzles, crossword puzzles, survey questionnaires and more. One student help the teacher and undertakes the tasks of the blog manager who has access to the code number and is responsible for uploading posts and comments.
It is required that all teachers involved get to know each other through either their school blogs.
Enjoy the project! Good Luck!
