"Europe 2020 Strategy: aims to create conditions for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Some of the areas it targets are employment, education, social inclusion and poverty reduction. Each of these areas is changing rapidly with the digitalization of our society. People need digital competence to participate in and take advantage of digital opportunities. This is a problem that needs to be addressed today. Almost half (44.5%) of the EU population between the ages of 16 and 74 have DIFFERENT DIGITAL SKILLS on ""digital skills"" according to the ""Eurostat Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI)"" data. Therefore, increasing digital skills is one of the priorities of the European Commission.In this context, the GENERAL OBJECTIVE of our project has been determined as ""Improving the digital skills of 11-14 year old students in partner schools"".SPECIAL OBJECTIVES OF OUR PROJECT:- To raise basic and intermediate student skills to the next level in the fields of information, communication, content development, e-security and problem solving,In this regard, it is aimed to teach the students 30 web 2.0 tools (in the fields of information, communication, content development, e-security and problem solving) and to use them effectively.Some Expected Concrete Outputs of Our Project:School project corners-eTwinning project page- eTwinning information videos-5 Digitally Smarted Kids Club- Project website and Social media accounts- made with web2.0 tools: video, presentations, infographics, posters, banners, documents- Project logo- Digital cultural heritage museum- Digitally Smarted Kids eMagazine (3 issues)- Culture QuizOur project activities; It is designed to directly serve project objectives. In this direction, our project activities are divided into 3 themes: ""European citizenship, democracy awareness and eSecurity for students"" and it is aimed to reach the general and specific goals of our project by realizing the web 2.0 tools that students will work on.1. Theme ""Culture""This theme was chosen in order to inform our students about the cultural diversity of Europe and to contribute to breaking the prejudices. In the activities to be carried out within the scope of this theme, our students will learn 13 web 2.0 tools used for ""content development and collaboration"" and they will create products.2. Theme ""Democracy""This theme has been chosen in order to contribute to our students' being European citizens and to be individuals who can respect different views and differences. Within the scope of this theme, they will use 9 web 2.0 tools and they will increase their knowledge and experience in using information and developing content.3. Theme ""eSecurity""Students will be included in activities to inform our students about e-security and prevent cyberbullying on digital platforms and they will develop common content using 8 web2.0 tools.Participating Schools- Schools will have improved their capacity to implement Erasmus + projects.Schools will become authority schools in their environment and institutional recognition will increase.Schools will develop their capacity to organize activities.Schools will develop an institutional vision that follows innovations in innovation and responds to student needs.In the long term, our project will contribute to the training of individuals with digital competencies that Europe needs."

"Higher education standards and student attainment are the main goal of current changes in schools. Nowadays, mathematical thinking is an issue that people pay more attention to than ever before. Many studies show how important mathematical thinking is for people to be more effective in their professional careers and in the contemporary digital world. Our extensive survey in partner schools shows that the mathematics taught in these schools does not take into account students' strictly defined technical skills and does not fully develop their potential for their future careers. Researches reveal that students who graduate by taking traditional mathematics education, which teaches mathematical concepts and relationships, cannot use this information in real life. Therefore, traditional mathematics education causes learning difficulties. Learning difficulties lead to early school dropouts. For this reason, we must find a new way of teaching and learning mathematics and enable our students to integrate their math knowledge more into their real life. While preparing this project, our basic motivation with our partners is; To organize math and technology centered stem activities using Agile methodology and to disseminate project based education.Our aim with this project is to integrate students' mathematical knowledge into their real life situations with the help of technology. Due to the integrated structure of real life situations in terms of disciplines, it is impossible to find solutions to complex real life problems with a single discipline. For this reason, our project will develop the skills, competencies and visions of students, teachers and schools for the solutions of the problems of real life situations in which mathematics and technology disciplines are located. Our objectives are: 1- In the research conducted by the World Economic Forum and attended by the leading companies of the business world, the most important of the 2020 workforce skill set is ""complex problem solving skill"". The development of this skill is the main goal of our project. 2- Connecting students' knowledge of mathematics to real life situations with the help of technology will cause them to learn meaningfully, which will decrease their early school dropouts. Our goal is to reduce the rate of early school drop-outs below 10%, which is determined by the European Union, in all partner schools. 3- We want to carry out project-based learning to be organized within the framework of Stem (Science, Technology, Mathematics, Engineering) in at least 20% of the lessons to be done in our common arrows to ensure that students learn meaningfully. 4- We want to contribute to the achievement of the goal of reducing the failure in Mathematics and Science below 15% according to the Strategic Framework Document on European Cooperation in Education and Training.The main target groups of the planned activities and activities of the project are teachers and students. Our students will consist of girls and boys aged 13-15. A math or at least one ICT teacher and project coordinator will participate in each LTTA and event. Other participating teachers will consist of branch teachers belonging to stem disciplines. For students with fewer opportunities, all kinds of support will be provided during the selection process. Participants to participate in LTT activities will be selected based on the criteria specified by each partner school. However, each school will be able to add to these criteria. As a local participant, other students, teachers and parents of partner schools, as well as teachers and students of the surrounding schools will be included. Local participants will participate in workshops and events at stem festivals during the project. Within the framework of our project,only teachers will participate in LTTA 1,3 and 5, while our students and teachers between the ages of 13-15 will participate in other LTTAs together.In accordance with the agility methodology, we will realize our project by dividing it into small pieces. The project consists of 3 sub-sections. Each subdivision also consists of smaller sub-parts and repeats of these parts. These duplicate parts come together to form subdivisions and these subdivisions. These iterations are a whole in their internal evaluations, results and successes. The success of the project depends on the evaluation of each sub-part. Each iteration will take place based on the evaluation of the previous study, so more skills and success will be achieved with each iteration.We will hold regular online meetings with the commission we will create with our partners for project dissemination efforts. Throughout the project, we will provide information about our activities on social media. Especially, a general hashtag will be determined on Twitter and all shares will be followed during and after the project."
