The Future Will Definitely Belong To The Digital World

Description

"The project was initiated to respond to the strong dependance of students on mobile phones that is often regarded as negative for their school education and to consider the postive aspects of their preference of using phone apps by offering them a challenge to create applications themselves. In this project students will acquire and improve their know-how in terms of developing mobile applications, a skill which they will use even after the school years, no matter what careers they may choose to follow. We want to make students break the barrier between passive consumption of mobile apps to the active usage of mobile development tools.The project addresses the age group of 15-18 year olds in our schools, who are old enough to process this type and amount of information and to use it creatively in order to develop apps. The students come from a variety of cultural backgrounds and a significant percentage of them are faced with and strive to overcome all kinds of obstacles - economic, cultural, financial etc. The participants will be chosen from this target group based on their digital skills, language skills, school results. The project also addresses teachers of IT who will thus improve their material base and ensure the sustainability of the project results.The aim of the project is to provide the necessary framework for teachers and students to work together, share ideas and good practices and learn how to develop mobile applications. The developed adds will include the most different topics and aspects depending on the different special focuses of the participating schools. In the technical schools they will focus on engineering, in the other schools they will focus on more general topics depending on the preferences of the students. By providing this framework, we intend to achieve a number of topic-related objectives as well as objectives related to the intercultural dialogue that the project presupposes: the students in the target group will become familiar with the requirements of mobile app development and will improve digital skills, many students will contribute to the creation of new mobile apps actively. All students participating in transnational meetings will also improve their knowledge of foreign cultures, they will improve their communication skills in English and other languages of the partners and they will also develop tolerance, mutual respect and intercultural understanding. All project team members and students will improve organisational, team work and data processing skills.The methodology of the project will contain five main stages:In the initiation stage we will identify the needs of the partners, in the panning stage we will work out an action plan, methodologies and resources. The implementation stage mainly includes the organisation of activities before, during and after the transnational events. The evaluation will take place thoughout the project and the finalisation stage will include accumulating the project results and finalising the dissimination process.Project results will include a coursebook entitled ""Mobile apps for schools"" that can be used by other teachers for developing apps, lesson plans for teaching about mobile phone apps, mobile apps developed by students, that will be uploaded on the project website and will be accessible for other students and teachers and the project website itself including all relevant information about the project, the project schools, the participating students, the project meetings, the project results, press reports etc. Intangible results will be the knowledge acquired by the students related to mobile app development, criteria for evaluating mobile apps, active involvement in the development of mobile apps, improved digital skills and better English language competence as well as tolerance, respect and understanding for other cultures."
