The purpose of the “Active Learning (AL) with ICT in Kindergartens and Primary Schools” activity:

The purpose of this activity, as per the context, is to promote active learning with the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in kindergartens and primary schools. The primary goal of the activity is to provide participants with the opportunity to explore and implement active learning methods with the support of ICT, thereby enhancing the teaching and learning process.

Activity Objectives:

1. School Visits and Presentations on Blended Mobility in Each Country: Participants will have the opportunity to visit the school, explore classrooms, and participate in workshops on blended mobility in each partner country. Presentations will be held to share the gained experience and knowledge.
2. Module 1 – Active Methodologies: Participants will explore various active learning methodologies, such as problem-based learning, problematization, project-based learning, peer instruction, design thinking, case method, and flipped classroom.
3. Module 2 – Distance Learning Platforms: Participants will investigate the possibilities of distance learning using platforms like Edmodo, Google Classroom, and Teams, from both the perspective of teachers and students.
4. Module 3 – WEB 2.0 Technological Tools: Participants will explore the capabilities of programs that facilitate autonomous and active learning from the perspectives of both teachers and students, such as Padlet, Biteable, Emaze, and Genially.
5. Module 4 – Monitoring and Evaluation: Technological tools (e.g., Quizziz, Office365, Kahoot, etc.) that assist in monitoring learning progress and enable the selection of new strategies to help students facing difficulties in keeping up with their peers will be explored.
6. Module 5 – Learning Scenarios: Collaborative online learning scenarios will be developed among participants, promoting active learning. Strategies and tools that allow for quick feedback will be shared.
