As this Erasmus plan was submitted just before the advent of the pandemic,it turned out that our needs in the field of new technologies were really great. The aims of this specific project are the following: -improving the digital training of teachers so that they are capable of introducing innovative pedagogical learning practices in their classrooms. -Utilization of Open Educational Resources and Open Educational Environments in the widest possible range of students. -Integrating digital hardware and software into the teaching process. -Integrating ICT into the classroom,in course delivery,examination and assessment. -Expanding the school’s international network,developing more contacts with teachers from other European countries and forming networks with teachers,trainers and institutions of other European countries,with the aim of exchanging ideas and practices on education. -Approaching the student’s world and managing classroom problems in the best way. -Certification and recognition of the digital training of the participating teachers.
In Geniko Lykeio Akrotiriou we have set the goal of enhancing our teaching methods with the integration of ICT in the learning process as well as strengthening the digital literacy of our students. This project was planned to improve the quality of our provided work and to harmonize the school’s procedures with the needs and the requirements of the modern era. There is great diversity in the social and educational background of our students (a significant percentage pertains to children of rural families and another percentage involves children of middle-class families). There are also students of immigrant origin, and some others are bilingual (children of officers or academics) while a small number οf our students are of refugee origin. Apart from that, those ones who have been diagnosed with learning disabilities, are examined orally or with the use of alternative forms of examination. Therefore, inclusive education, the integration of ICT/multimedia in the educational process and internationalization are a strong necessity for our school.
