The Comenius 1.3 school project Developing digital skills @ school, which started in September 2005 and will end in July 2008, focuses on ICT. Teachers and pupils learn how to deal with the computer and its multiple resources.
Their digital literacy is being developed to enable them to use various digital tools in the classroom and to communicate across the borders using an electronic learning environment. The DigiSkills teachers design, share, compare and enhance teaching methods and materials. These materials and methods are then experimented in class and - if found applicable - also implemented in the partner institutions.
Co-operation is developed through training sessions, face-to-face meetings at the participating schools and continuous collaboration and exchange of ideas on our electronic platform Claroline DigiSkills. The project results as well as the experiences of the participant teachers are published in our electronic newspaper, the C-DigiSkills Journal. The main stages of the project are described in a blog, called Roadmap DigiSkills. Photos are being exchanged in our DigiSkills webalbum.
There is continuous evaluation of the project work, which is published on a regular basis on this website (http://www.digiskills.eu/).
The participating schools are carrying out a parallel eTwinning project with the same title, which has the purpose to make the pupils of the participating schools work on a bi- and multilateral basis. A website of this E-DigiSkills project has been created. A videoblog about the pupils' activities during the final meeting in Prague is available here.
