Pedago-geeks

 

Being responsible and innovative educators in their respective schools, four partners in four different countries (Czech Republic, Italy, Lithuania and France), after careful analysis of their strengths and weaknesses as well as needs, worked out a two-year project which was perfectly tuned to their curriculum, programmes and school policies and ran complimentary along their school formal and informal education scheme to better address the needs of all school communities.

The project entitled "Pedago-geeks" aimed to develop ICT skills and team work skills - two essential competences to successfully join EU job market - through a considerable number of selective local activities logically leading to mobility activities designed both for students and teachers, followed by evaluation and dissemination actions. The idea behind all activities was to investigate and develop integrational ICT possibilities in different groups of subjects : science, mathematics, physical education and arts. The participants of the project and the benefactors of the impact were both students and teachers.

More successful academic achievements for students is a natural and logical objective of all educational processes. The other target group – teachers - are at the threshhold of immense changes in the whole education system and in desperate need of being equipped with new skills and qualifications. The project produced two kinds of results : tangible such as videotutorials, quizzes, slideshows, etc which are all gathered in this website, and intangible ones such as innovative approaches, ICT-based methodologies and teaching materials, new practices, more professional environment, etc.

The project is expected to have a long-lasting impact not only on target group but on all stake-holders involved. All in all, the project offered an innovative European framework of activities for academic, professional and personal development of school communities.
