Project summary

Nowadays, in order to design new educational orientations and resources to develop innovative environments in education, efforts are being made to provide education in the form of formal, informal or nonformal aiming at disseminating e-life cultures from pre-primary education institutions to tertiary education and to ensure its continuity. Today, there are lectures on computer usage in schools, everyone is being encouraged to own a computer and the lessons are trying to be given by computer support.In addition, computer-based education practices and internet-based projects have been developed in schools to develop student-centered teaching transfer studies from teacher-centered instruction. * When the scientific literature in Europe and Turkey was searched, the following problems were identified. • Teachers are inadequate in using the technical side of ICT. • Teachers can not follow the new teaching approaches sufficiently in terms of professional development. • Students can not learn to use technology because of the lack of recognition of Web 2.0 tools and ICT in planning, and the inadequacy of in-service training activities. •The school environment is deprived of activities that improve students' creativity. • Teachers can not pursue innovative approaches and literature adequately in terms of creativity and communication technologies. *The benefits / qualifications we aim to develop with the project are; • To be able to use ICT related concepts correctly and in place. • Ability to use application software prepared for a specific purpose. • Ability to use Network and Internet applications in place. • Enhancing the quality of education by support learning environments with educational software, electronic references, application software and educational games •To learn creating models and simulations with three dimensional technological materials. • Integrating ICT tools into learning environments at every stage. • Provide all students with access to all sorts of advanced ICT tools during their education life. • To teach all the students the skills of accessing information, problem solving, processing and presentation of information with information technology tools and teaching them how to use ICT tools in daily life. Number and Profile of participants: The Partnership includes 6 partners from all over European Countries. All partners have previous experience in implementation of common projects. They are key actors within their own country and bring with them knowledge and experience of the latest strategies, best and innovative practices and activities related to ICT. ITPM meetings will be held with 13 participants (3 from schools 2 from technical partners). 6 participants from the coordinator and 5 participants from other partner schools will join to the LTT events with a total of 16 participants . Description of activities: All project activities, e.g. questionnaires, seminars, extracurricular activities, workshops, educational e-materials, e-modules, meetings, service in training courses, ICT based lessons, curriulum, etc. are designed and organised to improve ICT skills, effective usage of ICT tools in education.

Objectives

Nowadays, with the aim to design new learning content relevant for distance forms of education, the discussion is being made on the level of readiness of schools for effective distance education. The question of the readiness of schools for distance education is very broad and it does not concern just the equipment of schools with ICT, but also, the skills of teachers to implement effective distance learning. Considering this, the NET project overall aims have been defined as follows: - To develop cooperation between the community, school, teachers, and students through the use of advanced information technology tools. - To support learning environments with educational software, electronic references, application software, and educational games. - To integrate information technology tools into any learning environment. - Providing access to all sorts of advanced information technology tools throughout the life of each student. - To provide all teachers with the ability to use the right information technology tool at the right time and in the right place.

Background

The project NET has been applied before COVID-19 pandemic, in the era when computer-based education practices and internet-based projects have been developed student-centered teaching transfer studies from teacher-centered instruction. Teachers, who are the stakeholders of education, were in a key position in achieving the highest possible benefits of using technology in schools. From this point of view, the concept of the NET project aimed to contribute to the development of the skills and knowledge of the teachers to diversify their capacity in the digital area. The idea of the NET project focused on objectives related to the learning content delivery tools via ICT and promoted innovative methods and didactical approaches, developing learning materials and tools as well as actions that support the effective use of ICT in education. The current crisis caused by COVID-19, highlighted the importance of the NET project goals as the need to teach in primary schools using digital technologies and online platforms has become more prominent than ever. In order to optimize didactic, methods and learning resources to make distance learning as much effective as possible, huge efforts after March 2020 were being made around the world.
