Osnovna škola Grigora Viteza Zagreb

U sklopu projekta Erasmus+KA2 Learn&Play With ICT koji se provodi u našoj školi učenici su sa svojim prijateljima iz Irske posjetili spilju Veternicu u Parku prirode Medvednica. 

Koordinatorica: Maja Vunderl Pasarić

Primary school Grigor Vitez from Zagreb is the only school in the Republic of Croatia, which is a regular school with regular students, and beside them, 130 students with special needs. Some of them are integrated in regular classes, but most of them are in special classes. Our school educates students who are members of ethnic minorities. In recent years we have noticed a greater dispersal of students in the course of primary and secondary schooling, and it was noted that some students acquire basic knowledge of lower level than expected. (Compulsory primary education in Croatia lasts 8 years, for children aged 7-15.)

Although our teachers have been improving regularly and individually, they did not have the opportunity to attend lectures and courses, or share experiences with other professionals on this issue. So, through agencies, we are involved in the mobility project Erasmus + KA 1, that allows us to, via individual mobility in the EU countries, acquire new knowledge, skills and experiences that will be applied in working with our students in the classroom. In order to modernize and improve the quality of the educational process we have to change the system, method, and access to our students and in the present time adapt it to the needs of the students, teaching them contents presented in a more interesting way. The possibilities of using e-textbooks in the classes open an entire new level of teaching with the help of information and communication technologies. The introduction of the Internet in classrooms and the use of computers, tablets, and other information technology require new knowledge and strengthened competences of teachers in that field in order to transfer their knowledge of different subjects to their students.

Our teachers are active members of the e-Twinning portal. By this portal our teachers inform each other of past experiences of other participants of similar projects in other countries, and already plan future cooperation with them and apply to online courses that will enable them further training in the field of implementation of ICTs in education. Using the benefits of the project on lifelong learning, we also support the European dimension in education. The participation of participants in individual mobility is confirmed by the Europass mobility certificates and certificates of participation in mobility in particular EU country from appropriate schools. These documents served us for further training through participation in future projects.
Except achieving main goals, i.e. reducing the risk of leaving school prematurely and increasing the basic level of knowledge, we want to raise awareness of the need for the use of ICT in education.

Project participants gain new knowledge and experiences, enhance different skills and achieve better language competence, with the goal of achieving further cooperation with other participants from other EU countries and developing new partnerships to implement future projects and disseminate the information about project results.
The use of ICT in teaching will allow easier and better adaptation of curricula to students with special needs and provide them with the possibility of greater independence in the learning process during classes and implementation of their free time. Here we see the extreme importance for students who have difficulties in graphomotor skills (they can’t use the stylus because of hand tremor), students with CP, visually impaired students and students with disorders of attention and concentration. To all of them ICT will be a great support in further education and thus increase their competitiveness in the labor market. The usage of ICT in classes motivates students to increase their level of basic knowledge. New skills and experiences will affect students to relieve frustration during the process of education and will reduce the risk of premature school leaving. It is important to note that the parents of the students supported the introduction of new ways of working through ICT and want to be active participants in the realization of the project, both now and in maintaining conductivity results of the project in the future. The expected results are that the use of ICT in education will reduce the risk of premature school leaving and that will increase the level of basic knowledge.

Our school supports its employees in their ambition to increase their knowledge, skills, experience and competence, and encourages them to contribute to the knowledge acquired by means of changes in education in the spirit of our time, with the aim of creating a stimulating working environment for students and teachers. Because of that, from 2016 to 2019 the school is included in another two Erasmus KA1 and KA2 projects.

The school collaborates with the local community through different projects on nutrition, health, first aid, local governments, kindergartens and elementary schools in the neighborhood. We all have the same goal: to create a safe environment for our children's education and adjustment of the educational process to the same process in European countries. In that way students with new skills and achieved knowledge will be additionally motivated for learning so they will not leave schooling prematurely, but become successful members of the society according to their acquired competences.

ERASMUS + KA2 projekt: LEARN & PLAY WITH ICT

(1.9.2016. – 31.8.2019.)

Erasmus K2 programi razlikuju se od Erasmus K1 programa po tome što ne uključuju stručna usavršavanja nastavnog osoblja u smislu njihovog pohađanja tečajeva, već su okrenuti razmjeni znanja i iskustava nastavnika i učenika među državama koji su partneri u projektu.

Osim toga, oni predviđaju ne samo mobilnosti nastavnika već i učenika škole a sve u svrhu povečanja njihovih jezičnih, kulturnih i socijalnih kompetencija.

Erasmus K2 projekt u kojem sudjeluje naša škola ukupne je vrijednosti 160.000,00 eura od čega naša škola u tri godine provođenja projekta dobiva 24.290,00 eura a sredstva će biti utrošena za provedbu projekta.

U projektu sudjeluju sljedeće države partneri: Irska (koordinator projekta), Bugarska, Makedonija, Portugal, Španjolska, Litva, Hrvatska te vanjski suradnik, Austrija.

Projekt se provodi pod nazivom : Learn&Play with ICT i logičan je nastavak našeg prvog Erasmus K1 projekta: Implementacija IKT u nastavi. Stoga je večina profesora koji su bili uključeni u taj Erasmus projekt aktivna i u ovom projektu. Svoja će znanja i vještine stečene na Erasmus tečajevima primijeniti u provođenju ovog projekta.

Aktivnosti za učenike koje će se provoditi za vrijeme provedbe projekta:

- Wordpress Web stranica na koju se dodaju sve aktivnosti u svezi projekta svih država sudionika

- Viber komunikacija: slike i kratki komentari iz svakodnevnog školskog života učenika iz država sudionika

- Skype: mjesečna Skype komunikacija između učenika država sudionika

- Školski radio: učenici uz mentora izrađuju kratke radio emisije na zadanu temu te se radio emisija postavlja na Web projekta i ostale društvene mreže

- 5 jednostavnih matematičkih igara za tablete, višejezičnu igru iz biologije (o biljkama i hrani država sudionika), Potraga za blagom (potraga uz pomoć QR kodova na mobitelima), Dragulj u gradu (učenici pričaju o nekoj povijesno važnoj građevini i događaju), Priča iz naše literature ( učenici prevode i ilustriraju hrvatsku bajku), izrada višejezičnog digitalnog slikovnog riječnika, višejezična računalna igrica:Reci svoje prvo zdravo na stranom jeziku te još neke kompliciranije igre koje za svoje provođenje trebaju WIFI te je za njih potrebna edukacija.

U projektu su predviđene dvije razmjene učenika: između Makedonije i Bugarske te između Irske i Hrvatske.

Stoga, već 28.5.2017., desetoro naših učenika odlazi na tjedan dana u Irsku gdje će pohađati nastavu te biti smješteni u udomiteljskim obiteljima. Maleni Irci u našu će školu stići 2018. godine.

Večina novaca iz projekta biti će utrošena na mobilnosti nastavnika i učenika, no materijali i oprema koji su neophodni za provedbu projekta biti će kupljeni iz sredstava projekta.

Osim na Wordpress-u projekt je dostupan i na sljedećim društvenim stranicama: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Viber te na našoj web stranici škole.

"Alphabet game"
An interactive computer presentation of the (western) alphabet with letter recognition, phonetics and numbers for all our target groups (regular, immigrant, refugee and children with special needs).

School radio & podcasts
Via YouTube, our school radio podcasts will involve regular reports about school life, songs and a series of easy language stories from each partner in their language and English.

"A Story from our literary Treasure Chest" (e-Book):
Pupils write a fairy-tale using simple diction and basic vocabulary so that learners of their language can understand it. They illustrate it which makes it a picture-book for early readers .

"A Jewel in Town"
Partner schools select a point of interest of their town ("a jewel"). They study it, write some short texts and produce a podcast. Additionally they will take short video scenes in which pupils explain their 'jewel'.

RADNI POSTUPAK

Each school in the group is aware of its responsibility and role in the project. All schools have practised and tested the ICT applications and skills which they will bring to the new project with their classes.

ERASMUS+ PROJEKTI U OŠ GRIGORA VITEZA

Erasmus+ je najveći program za obrazovanje, osposobljavanje, mlade i sport (2014.-2020.) a usmjeren je jačanju znanja i vještina, unaprjeđivanju obrazovanja, osposobljavanja i rada u području mladih i sporta. Naša škola je uspješna u prijavi i provedbi Erasmus+ projekata! Do sada su  provedena dva KA1 projekta, u tijeku je provedba KA2 projekta a u prosincu kreće treći KA1 projekt.

Prvi KA1 projekt “Implementacija informacijsko komunikacijske tehnologije u nastavi” proveden je tijekom školske godine 2014./2015. Osam sudionika odabranih u projekt su pohađali različite tečajeve koji  se tiču uvođenja ICT –a te su ih uveli u svoj svakodnevni rad s učenicima. Izuzetna važnost ovdje je za učenike koji imaju poteškoća u grafomotorici, ne mogu se služiti olovkom zbog tremora ruke, kod učenika sa CP, slabovidnim učenicima i učenicima sa poremećajima pažnje i koncentracije te darovitim učenicima. 

Drugi KA1 projekt „CVRČAK“ proveden je školske godine 2016./2017. sa ciljem moderniziranja nastavnog procesa i uvođenja kreativnih  metoda u nastavu. Ukupno je 12 sudionika ovog projekta, učitelja i djelatnika stručne službe, pohađalo 11 različitih tečajeva za jačanje učiteljskih kompetencija. Svim tečajevima je zajedničko da potiču upotrebu kreativnih i inovativnih metoda i oblika rada te na taj način daju svim učenicima jednake mogućnosti za obrazovanje, bez obzira na vrstu teškoća a nadarenim pojedincima postizanje visokih rezultata.

KA2 projekt: „LEARN & PLAY WITH ICT“ traje od 1.9.2016. do 31.8.2019. U projektu sudjeluje nekoliko država: Irska (koordinator projekta), Bugarska, Makedonija, Portugal, Španjolska, Litva, Hrvatska te vanjski suradnik, Austrija. Osim mobilnosti učitelja, u ovakvim projektima se organiziraju i mobilnosti učenika. Tako su naši učenici bili u posjeti Irskim učenicima. Cilj projekta je implementacija IKT u nastavi, kreiranje igrica za korištenje u nastavi i razmjena iskustava između zemalja sudionica.

Treći KA1 projekt „Raketa“ odobren je u pozivu za 2017. Godinu. Započinje u prosincu 2017. a cilj mu je jačanje učiteljskih kompetencija u uvođenju STEAM područja u razrednu nastavu kroz inovativne izvannastavne aktivnosti.

The Lithuanian partner school Endriejavo Pagrindine Mokykla invited for the first „Short-term joint staff training event“ between July 3rd - 7th 2017. Ms. Egle Skoleviciene and her team welcomed the representatives of all 7 partner schools to train their ICT skills under the guidance of various tutors. All partner schools had finished their school year so that they were free for this training week, but some of them had to leave their teachers’ evaluations and documentations weeks or cooperations meetings. 

A well balanced mix of working sessons, social events and some excursions cared for an instructional and pleasurable week.  Partners were accomodated in a Klaipeda hotel but the school bus brought them to the empty school building in Endriejavas, where the working sessions took place.

On the agenda was the finishing of the e-books. This had already been done by partners in the period since the last project meeting in Macedonia in April.

The main theme was the handling with Aurasma for the dominating theme „A juwel in town“ next autumn. Aurasma is a free app for iOS and Android devices. It uses advanced image recognition to blend a 3D image/video onto a 2D image. These blended images are called “Auras”. When someone holds the Aurasma app over a pre-marked picture, it will bring that picture to life. Partners should use this app to present a „jewel“ of their town, this may be a point of interest, a historical site or place of local importance. After demonstrating the pre-prepared Lithuanian Aurasma example, the Irish coordinator Mr. O’Beirn practised Aurasma on the smartphone for everybody, the Lithuanian school explained „Studio Aurasma“ (on the Aurasma website). 

Our ICT trainer Mr. Gerald Grahammer introduced Tynker coding to create interactive html5 simulations and presentations in several lessons over the week. Tynker is an alternative to Scratch junior and we decided to replace it. 

The Spanish partners demonstrated high quality audio recording with 2 pupils that came back to school from holiday for this purpose. Mr. Leonardo Loianno from Spain gave the partners an introduction to the Audiacity software to edit audio files. 

For the evaluation of the first project year the Lithuanian partners suggested Surveymonkey, an ideal tool that can be tailored to our needs. Partners were invited to work out the questions that suit best for our Primary school pupils to get a comprehensiv overview on what pupils have done and which activities they liked best. 

Our Portuguese partners showed us an example how to make little games for the mobile phone or online playing on learningapp.org. Partners tried themseves by copying and adapting an existing sample and replace the images and texts with their own ones.

All these trainings made partner fit for the project tasks of autumn 2017 until the next meeting in April 2018.

Ms Egle Skoliviciene offered her visitors an interesting frame programme. She took them to the amber coast near Klaipeda and to a local beekeeper. On Thursday July 6th was the Lithuanian National Day with folk dance from pupils of the school.
