Numeracy and Literacy through Coding and Robotics

Description

Coding is like a language. It is a way to instruct a computer or a tablet what you want it to do. It may be seen as the modern literacy and it is important that the teachers within our educational systems are well versed in it in this field so that they will also be able to pass on this knowledge to our pupils who will constitute the generations of the future. In fact, young children can learn the foundations of coding before they can even write and spell. Learning to code will prepare our pupils for future jobs, jobs which don’t even yet exist, hence the importance of it all. This project will focus on the teaching of numeracy and literacy skills through coding and robotics. The objectives of this project may be listed as follows: 1) Provide training to at least 40 teachers about numeracy and literacy skills through coding and robotics 2) Enable at least 40 teachers to expand their expertise on the teaching of numeracy and literacy through coding and robotics through exchange of good practices 3) Establish a good relationship between the 4 participating schools The planned activities to be undertaken over two years are 1 Kick-Off Management Meeting in Malta, 4 school visits in Malta, Slovenia, Italy and Portugal, and 1 structured training course for staff - Italy (Milan) and 3 dissemination activities by each participating school in their own country. The concrete results of this project will be the following: - At least 40 teachers will receive training on the teaching of numeracy and literacy skills through coding and robotics; - At least 40 teachers will be more knowledgeable about the best way to teach numeracy and literacy skills through coding and robotics via the exchange of good practices with other European teachers; and - 4 European schools will undertake mutual capacity-building Participant teachers will be equipped with the necessary training which is then transferred to other teachers within the school. Educators in our school will be using online resources and other Coding equipment with their learners once we disseminate the knowledge gathered from this project. These online resources will be available on the eTwinning Platform - available for all. Here we’ll have all our activities together with an eWorkbook. This can be viewed by all the school partners and also by schools in other countries. This will be a good way to show our good practices and the success of our project.
