Our project 'Education Through Technology' aims at improving our ways to integrate technology to our lessons more competently and learning new methods of learning and teaching that young people will find more motivative for themselves such as Web2.0 tools and digital learning games.As a result of the surveys we carried out at our school we found out overusing technological devices was the top problem of most of our students.We also found out that teachers and students don't use them efficiently and they are not able to do research, lack of critical thinking skills, although they have all the opportunities to make research with technological tools, they cannot solve the problems in real life successfully.In addition, we have also found out that our students are techno-addicted so they suffer from health problems. In accordance with the 2023 EUROPEAN EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT VISION, a project management comittee has been established in our school on behalf of increasing the effectiveness of management and quality improvements efforts. Through this project all teachers will be trained to use web 2.0 tools and new technological methods in their lessons such as blended learning and flipped classroom.We also focus on the negative effects of overusing technology on our health and society.With this project we will help students and other people to use these technological devices in a more controlled, useful, productive and conscious way. Objectives of the project; -train teachers to use new innovative technological methods and Web 2.0 tools in their lessons. -make students use of technology and reinforce what they have learned in the class -encourage students' intercommunication and to share intercultural affairs between partners in Europe.-widen the students perspectives to become competent European citizens -encourage individual learning and critical thinking -develop the key competences, ICT, language competences using technology in terms of teaching and learning -be aware of other countries culture and values and tolerate their culture -differentiate reliable from unreliable sources on the Internet, make classroom sessions more colorful, lively and interesting. -help students and people to use these devices in a more controlled,useful way. -show negative effects on their health with the help of experts. -lead them to use these devices for educational purpose, so they will spend their time to learn more productively. -improve the quality of education with technology Partners in this project are 15 Temmuz Şehitler Anadolu Lisesi from İzmir, Turkey; IES SIXTO MARCO from Spain; Liceo Mamiani Pesaro from Italy, Zespół Szkół Technicznych “Mechanik” from Poland. POLAND is the coordinator organisation. There will be four mobilities. In each mobility from each school, for each LTT activity, 3 accompanying teachers and 5 pupils who are between15-18 years old, will be involved in the project meetings. Liceo Mamiani Pesaro from Italy will focus on project-based learning activities and training the partners about use of web 2.0 tools in education, sharing European values-multicultural gatherings, designing a multi-lingual dictionary Zespół Szkół Technicznych “Mechanik” from Poland will introduce the latest technology which is Augmented Reality (AR).This more advanced version of coding magically brings pictures into life and creates digitally enhanced view of the real world. It gives teachers an opportunity to engage students through animation and 3D context in the educational process and to add some unusual flavour to the lessons. All the partner schools will incorporate technology into class on a daily basis. IES SIXTO MARCO from Spain will teach a full-length lesson based on activities in using Technology. Activity will cover various didactic approaches to teach students how to get engaged in activities of their interest and motivate them to learn and acquire skills and competences. Some of the activities will involve role-play and games for Individual players or teams of players such as Hunt game: Google Classroom activities, (MATH)-Labyrinth quiz TURKEY will focus on the screen addicted students. They will organize conferences to inform pupils, parents and people about aftermath of using too much technological devices; smart phones, tablets, PCs. Turkey will be responsible for the final evaluation of the project.This project will bring a new and fresh understanding and motivation into education in the globalized world.Teachers and students will make use of digital devices in and out of lessons.This will improve the quality of education in the long-term.We expect good results which tecnology can bring to education as well as divergent voices that will double the real impact of technology on learning. Thanks to the digital education, learning won't be restricted within the the walls of the classroom and the school day and the school year.

"<< Background >>From the interaction with the children, with the teachers and with the parents, from the answers to the questionnaires applied before addressing this topic and from a UNICEF report, we found out that teachers, children and parents lack the skills that would help them cope with certain stressful situations. Children affected by anxiety and stress cannot regulate their behavior or cope with emotions. At the partnership level, we do not have instruments for measuring the well-being of the students, of the teachers, of the parents. We all agreed that we need a pool of resources focused on social and emotional education to prevent the occurrence of emotional disorders at children, but also at adults. We all agreed that we also need to internalize the requirements of our roles as teachers in the well-being of students, to assess our skills in the field of socio-emotional skills training, to identify new ways of communicating with parents, also caught in the carousel of paradigm changes. We need to adjust out working techniques to the age particularities of our students and at theri maturity emotional level. We found that our mental, physiological and medical health depend, as Dr. Daniel Siegel says, on the quality of the relationships we have. And we thought that the school could teach relationships, they could talk about relationships, to cultivate positive relationships with students, with parents. When you connect with your peers, you have relationships in which you feel honored and honored, when you have relationships in which you care, you stimulate the growth of integrative fibers in the brain. These fibers allow us to have resilience and cope with challenges, stress, anxiety, etc. We asked to do this project to take advantage of an opportunity, to develop simple, easy-to-use tools, fun games and activities, awareness and self-awareness exercises, attention management activities to help us, students, parents, teachers, family. In order to achieve an inclusive and inspiring learning environment inside and outside the school, we must unite our efforts, have a vision, leadership, unite all interested persons, to stimulate parental and community engagement. And we are grateful that we can harmonize with the European effort.<< Objectives >>We want to create a more child-friendly school, a school that teaches them not only reading, writing and counting, but also reflection, relationships and resilience, an emotionally intelligent school, a school of trust. For this we started from 1. The elaboration of a school procedure regarding the development of social and emotional skills of students, teachers and parents of students. 2. Increasing the awareness of 100 students, 20 teachers and 20 parents about the need development of socio-emotional resilience skills in crisis conditions, to the effects of using socio-emotional skills in stress management, communication relationships and responsible decision making.3.Providing knowledge, skills, values, help and support for 20 teachers , counselors and principals from each school participating in the project.4. Carrying out 20 model activities for acquiring socio-emotional skills with students at risk (single-parent families, families with economic difficulties, learning difficulties, disciplinary violations and/or major absenteeism. 5. Ensuring psychological and emotional support for 30 students at risk using individual or group counseling 6. Carrying out 9 “School for parents” type workshops with the aim of increasing family protection factors and decreasing family risk factors compared to the occurrence of emotional disorders in children, both during the online activity and when returning to school with physical presence.<< Implementation >>With students we organize an extensive awareness process on the importance of social and emotional skills: we check where we start, then we carry out social and emotional learning activities, according to a progressive structure, from self-awareness and acceptance to decision making. The topics that each school will cover refer to self-awareness activities, activities for the development of social competence, activities for the development of emotional regulation skills, activities for the development of social relationships and efficiency in communication and activities for the development of self-awareness skills of decision making. With the students in the risk group (orphaned children, with the parents gone abroad, with economic difficulties, etc.) we will carry out individual and group counseling activities, ensuring psychological and emotional support. All these activities will structure also the LTTA meetings in the partner schools. With the teachers, we intend to make an online course on ""Digital resources for social and emotional learning"" which will be supported by experts from UBB Cluj Napoca, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences (Mind Education) and which will be attended by 5 teachers from each school in the partnership.The purpose of this activity is to familiarize teachers with these digital resources and their use in social and emotional learning activities. There are many open resources that we can use for the benefit of students and ourselves, to be easy and to have quality content. Then the teachers who were in the class and the implementation team train the other teachers in the target group and together we start working with the students. Study workshops of skills transfer, its application in the class, reflection, learned lessons. Then the teachers in our school will invite teachers and educators from the other schools in the community to their activities so that the wave effect extends.

With parents we will organize 10 learning workshops, ""Parents' School"", to help them become aware of their children's emotional needs, to communicate better with children, to become familiar with the emotional and relationship peculiarities specific to developmental stages, to learn how to manage your own emotions and practice well-being, safety and confidence, healthy boundaries, resilience and emotional agility. We will work with principals to develop a school policy to implement social and emotional education and then we will promote this result to transfer good practices.<< Results >>Beyond the results related to the improvement of social and emotional skills of the 500 students, 100 teachers and 100 parents, of making a school policy, we will also have tangible and transferable results: A guide to social and emotional development for teachers, 5 procedures implementation of SEL in schools, counseling and personal development in CDS for high school, with group and individual activities, psycho-educational and social intervention program for parents, a portfolio of digital resources for social and emotional learning usable by both students and teachers and parents, a portfolio of documents, called the ABC of emotional intelligence and the costs of functional illiteracy, a model portfolio of teaching technology projects for teachers, included in the guide, a portfolio of healthy copying strategies in crisis situations, a PDF for students, a website, a blog , worksheets, self-knowledge tools easy to manage."

<< Objectives >>We want to raise the awareness of teachers and students about environmental problems, encourage them to take place in environmental sustainability, and foster their green skills. Besides, we want to build up a common waste management plan for our schools which has been identified as a defiency in the need analysis questionnaire. We want to be an examplary and inspire the others. Finally, we want to improve the key competences, common values and civic engagement of teachers and students.<< Implementation >>First, we are going to have a teachers’ meeting in Narva, Estonia. Then, we are going to have a training activity about waste and energy at Polytechnic University in Bucharest, Romania. Finally, we are going to have three student-centered activities in which we prepare a waste management plan for our schools and study the reasons of waste in the region: greenhouse farming & tourism (Antalya- Turkey), overpopulation and urbanization (İzmir- Turkey), and industrilization (Narva- Estonia).<< Results >>We expect to have both short and long term results. The most concrete one is the school waste management plan prepared by the project partners. It will be implemented at schools to sustain the environment. The raise in the awareness, the increase in willingness to take responsibility in environmental activities and the improvement in consumption attitude will be the other results. We also expect to observe development in key competences, green skills, civic engagement and common values.

"Our project ""Sport is not only football."" is a project based on the priorities ; tackling early school leaving,effective strategies for enhancing basic skills and contributing to the development of a European Area of Skills and Qualifications. Our previous successful experience about our students having absenteeism problems led us to such a project.The questionnaire applied in our school revealed that most of the students do not have sports among their free-time activities. And few students only stated that they only played football.The academic anxiety and the intense interest in virtual free time activities depart students from sport. Although the sport has multi-benefits including health,quality time spending, avoidanance of drugs,smoking and alcohol,socialising the students, when it is not done regularly the expected impact will not be effective enough. Our project aimed to make schools more enjoyable places through sport. By making this we tried to form a portal where more students could find various sport facilities. The participation of the students in the activities via the project has improved their self-confidence,sport habit,fair-play,morality and health quality. This has made the students feel relaxed and happy at school. A happy and relaxed student is more optimist,and ,therefore, reflected this to his/her relations with his/her partners,friends and teachers.The project applied two kinds of mobility; transnational meetings for only teachers and learning events involving the students and the teachers. We have realized hree transnational meetings. For each TPM, four teachers from Turkey,Poland,Bulgaria, three teachers from Romania and 1 teacher from Latvia participated in these mobilities. Teachers responsible for contact, budget control and time management, dissemination, and monitoring took part in these mobilities. The maximum attandence of students under a sattisfying accompanying has been crucial for us. Althoug we planned to involve 7 students and three teachers from each country, the budget regulation let 2 teachers. We have provided 48 students mobility; however, on the form it was 28 students. Economically disadvantaged students, and shy students, very hardworking students, very sportive students took part in these events. The sports gathered them under different flags. We cared about the language skills of the students. Those students having a pre-intermediate level of English was among our target group. They improved their speaking skills and their willingness for learning and practising English. Apart from acquiring valuable language and cultural knowledge, students of participating schools had a possibility to learn national sport disciplines, games and dances typical for participating countries. The music became a power to unite and socialise participators easily and faster. We succeded to promote sport and healthy lifestyle in our schools.Our activities included outdoor and indoor activities. The clubs we founded at our scholls has been functioning actively to promote the students,the parents and the teachers to volunteer at the sport events. Our project activities involve the families as well,:however, the participation of familes was belove our expectations. But their support for students to take part in activites pleased us. Some activities like orienteering and baseball was very interesting for our students and the other participators. The traditional sports of the partner countries were also taught and performed in schools. Wrestling was the favourite of all other nations. Even the female students tried and enjoyed the excitement of that. All the participators loved traditional archery competitons held in Turkey and Poland. We provided a set of different activities for our students including swimming,winter sports and cycling. The interest of our female students and their parents' support surprised us. They were very active in winter sports and cycling activites. Due to the wide range of sports,we succeded to attract many students to the fields,courts and gyms. The sports hour on thursday evenings took many of our students to school gym for different sports such as basketball, voleyball, badmington and free running.During the implementation,evaluation,monitoring,dissemination and sustainability parts of the project, the partners followed each step of the project in a disciplined way. The project diary helped us do the activities properly. Our ' Must do list "" and ""Participant Matrix"" were strong indicators to analise the implementation of the project. Our project enhanced healthy life conscious for the adults of future. The students found recreation fields.They had a fair-play soul.They enjoyed their school as it was a more enjoyable school. They didnt hesitate to come to school. The project socialised the shy students. Their self-confidence has increased.To sum up, our project used different kinds of sport for multi-functional aims to serve for our students."

"For many years, technology has an impact on every aspect of our lives. It doesn't just affect and makes life easier.In recent years, it has developed so fast that we can make any work that we can think of.Information technology is a concept used for all information services that can be connected with communication and computer systems.In other words, we cannot limit this concept to computer hardware and software. Information technology helps us to do all kinds of business in all areas of our lives, but also saves us from many angels. It is even really hard to imagine what the human intelligence has found. In order to meet the needs of the digital age we are in, individuals with 21st century skills are needed. In the 21st century, it is necessary to use these skills in order to develop and lead the country. The most important of these is STEM training. STEM education is an educational system that aims to integrate four important disciplines such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics with interdisciplinary and practical approach. The most important gain is active in taking part in the digitalizing world. We can state that STEM education has two main objectives. The first of these aims is to increase the number of students who will choose a profession in these disciplines at university level, and the second is to enable students to apply creative solutions in their daily lives to solve the problems related to these disciplines by increasing their basic knowledge levels in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. As in all areas, the use of technology in the field of education will benefit.In order to be ready for the 21st century technology and future, students are expected to use secure internet and learn to use the tablet computers as active in order to be more successful in their lessons. At the same time, students will be informed about informatics. Since they will have online and face-to-face training on topics such as coding, web design, they will have experience in meeting STEM trainings and choosing their profession.We want to do with the project; To provide an opportunity to revitalize the content of the training program, to enable students to discover new discoveries, to better understand the relationship between events, to develop students' self-confidence and self- sufficiency through collaboration and independent study, to encourage students to think in flexibility and confidence, to enable students to gain the skills of the century. to produce shorter solutions to problems, to increase learning motivation, to design- oriented thinking and to be innovative. Studies addressing numerical intelligence such as coding, programming and STEM; critical thinking, problem solving, creative thinking, collaborative work. In addition, to provide information about secure internet. In particular, we want to do this project in order to prevent discrimination and to raise awareness about the female students' choice of school and profession. We aim to raise awareness and prevent gender inequality in society. We aim to make sure that girls can be successful in information technologies and coding, and that they can be successful scientists when the opportunity is granted. Stem training is also supported by the Ministry of National Education. They will improve their knowledge and skills about the common English language as language development.Methodology: Our project's activities will contain all necessary phases:implementation, monitoring, evaluation and dissemination of the project results,to gather interview and observational data regarding any changes Expected Results,Short and Long Term Effects :Students will learn focus and patience, cooperation, teamwork and social skills,Students will gain self-confidence and a sense of ""capableness"" along with new skills and knowledge in STEM and tecnology and web2 tools,STEM based teaching will address different learning styles and intelligences, Students will become more fit and healthy as they spend more time active with web2 tools and their perceptions will be more clear,Both teachers and students will get the knowledge how to they will actually realize what can be done in tecnology or what we don't realize STEM before.Number and Profile of Participants: The project will last for 2 years and involves 6 schools from Spain as a coordinator, Turkey-Çorum, Turkey-Hatay, France, Romania and Bulgaria.The project activities will be performed with the students aged 14 to 18. Many of the students who will be pioneers in the activities, if there are students with special educational needs, such as educational difficulties and mental disability, to develop tastes and self-esteem, we will establish a bridge between them and other students in activities such as peer work and team work.The Schedule of the Project: We have 6 LTTs planned. (5+2 days)"
