Objectives

We had five objectives in this project. These were: - developing digital competences that the teachers have; - adapting to today's technology world and bringing digital materials to the classroom; - developing digital tools according to our students' needs and interests; - developing interaction between student and teacher, providing their active participation; - increasing the quality of online and distant education. Apart from these main objectives, cultural interaction and English practice were also aimed.

Background

The first inspiration on our project was our school missions and visions, which are to raise teenagers by using the strategies, the methods and techniques of this technological era, to present a teaching and learning environment according to modern digital world, to be an institution which becomes a brand in contemporary education. Besides this, we got also inspired by the Digital Education Action Plan that the European Union adopted for the years between 2021 and 2027. It has two priorities which are to foster a high-performing digital education ecosystem and to enhance digital skills and competences for the digital age. When we carried out the needs analysis in our schools, we saw in the rates that teachers' digital competences were not enough and the students were not interested in digital education and digital tools so much. Without partner countries and organizations, this learning process would be limited within our country. Therefore, the information and the experience we would acquire within our own country would be peculiar to only our nation itself. Consequently, all partners found it necessary to organize mobilities in each country after seeing weaknesses in our digital competences in our need analyses.
