The term 21st Century (called technological era)skills,has brought many requirements in terms of education.It makes essential different constructions,innovations and reforms including meaningful and lifelong learning.In this aspect,TPACK(Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge)has come into prominence expeditiously.TPACK is a framework for teacher knowledge for technology integration.Knowledge that teachers need to effectively integrates technology into teaching subjectspecific curriculum within specific contexts.Briefly,technology changes not only what the teachers teach but also how the teachers teach.Role of the technology to better impact on students learning gains importance day by day.In current project each partner use technology in their classes in a way but the essential thing is the knowledge of the correct usage of technology by means of TPACK.With this project each partner ll have opportunity to learn not only TPACK but also the effective usage of Web 2 tools in classes and interdisciplinary CODING;the alphabet of new era,in intended context by attending the lectures and exchanging of good practices among the partners from Germany as a coordinator country, England, Turkey, Lithuania, Italy and Spain. In the scope of the current project apart from observing the good implementations of partners and making inferences, our objectives on teachers and students are to: -raise communication and social skills, gain them self improvementi,improve their technological, pedagogical and content competences -supply an opportunity to algorithmic and analytical thinking, enhance their productivity -develop their teaching proficiencies with the implementations used in EU countries -to improve digital competences -strengthen pupils’ motivation towards the school subjects by using the technological methods -supply an opportunity to algorithmic and analytical thinking -gain problem solving ability and expressing themselves independently and creative thinking -teach them the importance of obeying the rules and the results of them -gain them the knowledge of responsibility, raise environmental awareness, the importance of recycling, -gain them the emotions of success and self-confidence -improve their competences, gain lifelong maintained experience -gain them sense of entrepreneurship to adapt to developing world -gain them the knowledge of the correct usage of technology and improve digital competences -gain them permanent learning by concretizing of abstract concept In current project, in order to reach our goals there will be six learning teaching training activities in each partner country. Two of these activities are for the educators and the others are short term exchange of group pupils. At first, each partner will build a project management team under the guidance of contact person of the country. All activities have been planned for the students who are between 10 and 18 and their teachers. The project team of each partner will decide the students and teachers according to the criterions. In the activities, the effective usage of TPACK is aimed and during the project, Coding and Web 2.0 tools will take place to support our students and teachers in the digital era that we live in. At the end of the project the educators will be able to improve their digital competences by attending the meetings and applying the activities;raise their skills and competences. They will be able to adapt themselves and their classes to the changing world. In terms of the students, they will be able to improve their sequential, analytical and algoritmic thinking, improve digital competences by using technology in classes including integrating CODING.
Digital learning and livelong learning are didactical keywords in our common world of the 21st Century (called technological era). For the common practice in schools, there is a huge lag on concepts, digital skills of learners and educators and lacks on best practice examples, wich this project wanted to counter. In this aspect, TPACK (Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge) has come into prominence expeditiously. TPACK is a framework for teacher knowledge for technology integration. Knowledge that teachers need to effectively integrates technology into teaching subjectspecific curriculum within specific contexts. Briefly, the technology changes not only what the teachers teach but also how the teachers teach and the students need this kind of change because of the changing role of technology in their life, learning and working. This change in the view of our students was very visible in the projectlogo (P1) and the change of how to teach was very impressive at the prepared "typical" and "digital" lessonplans and connected videos (P4). The Covid-19 Pandemic showed us during the lockdown and homeschooling also very impressive, that our educational system still misses concepts, digital skills and best practice examples and this in spite of the fact, that our students are digital natives. The problem about this was, that the skills of educators and learners were focussed on private usage of mobile devices, applications and programmes (e.g. Social Media) and not on educational usage. Also at that point, our project prepared some answers and countered the problems successfully. To make learning visible, we've started and ended with pre- and posttests or little repetitive games concerning the knowledge of the educators and students before and after the workshops or mobilities (e. g. P10, Kahoot and Mentimeter). We've also started a survey for the parents of the participating students (P16) concerning benefits and misfits of the usage of digital learningenvironments, hard- and software or media in total. In this context, we've analyzed, that cyber mobbing and sexual abuse in the internet are huge problems and talked about that during and after a workshop in Lithuania. We've also prepared some little lessons or workshops for our schools concerning these thematics (P14). In this project, in order to reach our goals, there were six learning teaching training activities in/from each partner country. One of this activities was an online mobility (GB) and two of these activities were blended ones (LT and TUR). The last benamed ones because of travelling restrictions or missing permission depending on Covid-19 and/or the outbreak of the war between Russia and Ukraine. In total, despite of the pandemic situation, there were enough possibilities during and between the mobilities to gain or improve the intended knowledege concerning web 2.0tools, applications, language and digital, analytical, mathmatical, algorythmical and coding competences by the educators and learners and to prepare successfully other project events. An impressive and very creative example is the preperation of a robot made from recycled material during lockdown and homeschooling (P9). To spread best practice, usefull applications and web 2.0tools which were presented or prepared during the mobilities, we've posted them openly for common on Facebook, eTwinning and our own projecthomepage (P1 and 17). Connected to this, we've introduced them and other results of the project to our colleagues, parents of our students, family and friends during conferences (P17). Also the planted cherry tree or the other plants of the partners are going to be part of longlasting research concerning humidity and growing in biology and geography lessons (P7) and always remind us about the Erasmus+ project and caring about our environment and solving problems. The digital learningenvironment and infrastructure is always changing - also people are changing and we all need to follow up the change, to be part of this technological era. Livelong learning and staying tuned became a factum and requiers training and further education. Being catched by change was also a huge thing in our project. During the project, two important websites (WeSay and eTwinning) changed and we had to react properly (e.g. P2, please look below for futher explainations). The benamed project events are just a few of the ones, we've prepared during the project.
