Way to go, boys and girls!
With my 6th graders in the 1st Primary School of Pyrgos,Greece, in December 2018, we participated in a video workshop under the guidance of Paolo Beneventi, during the Camera Zizanio-Olympia Festival that takes place in Pyrgos every year. It was a highly Interactive and creative workshop! Students explored the magical world of multimedia and had the opportunity to produce their own beautiful original collaborative work
Students discovered the creative use of video cameras, explored the magical world of multimedia and began to make things happen in order to present their view of the world.
Many thanks to Paolo Beneventi for his guidance and patience, to Camera Zizanio Lito Theodosiou Nikos Theodosiou and to everyone who helped and contributed to making this production! Olympia Fest #creativity #imagination #communication

Happy GaP at School at https://twinspace.etwinning.net/45896 is an eTwinning project that focussed on games pupils from different countries can play or even create. Creative and original activities helped the participants not only to become aware of the of the way pupils can connect and interact. of the various cultural similarities and of the empowering qualities of ICT.
Feel the Story is a collaborative project carried out by five elementary schools in Greece, P
ortugal, Turkey, Italy and Poland. It took place during the school year 2017-2018. Digital Storytelling, Project Based Learning and CLIL are the principal pedagogical approaches applied in the project in order to help learners develop their productive and collaborative skills.
Through the pedagogical use of stories and fairy tales, combined with the pedagogical integration of ICT, in an interactive environment, the participation of students in the implementation of the program has strengthened their creativity, improved their cognitive, communicative and social skills and familiarized them with a multitude of applications and online tools.
Online quizzes and games, pictures and cards as well as dramatization are some of the products of the pupils’ work. They even created their own story in the end. A kit of activities is the creative product of the collaboration of the students.
Let’s hope it can inspire other students too!
Carefully structured learning outcomes, clear and specific expectations from the students, challenging yet manageable tasks and collaborative activities contributed to the creation of various, multimedia and interactive products in our project, Food 4 All, https://twinspace.etwinning.net/48612
The questionnaire in the beginning of the project, the tale of bread ebook, the video presentations of the recipes, the information about healthy diet, the plate pledge, the mock United Nations Conference on Malnutrition, the hunger trees as well as the final evaluation boosted the students’ self-confidence and willingness to take initiatives.
The project has been presented during the school year in various educational events:
Ss’ reflections show that they developed their cognitive as well as communicative, collaborative and social skills.
Parents’ highly positive feedback proves the success of the project which has offered learners an unforgettable learning experience. This picture demonstrates the significant impact of the project not only on the learners, the immediate participants of the projects, but also on their parents who learned about all our work and the implications of the issue we explored through their children.
Teachers managed to raise ss’ awareness on global issues, become familiar with ICT tools and get inspired to take action. Our collaboration was highly creative, focused and effective. We learned from each other, shared practices, ideas and goals.
Let’s hope that through our project we are driving change!
