eTwinning tasks

GROUP 1: SMS Language

• (led by Barbara N'Sir/Spanish students Carla Fernández, Sandra Núñez/Xacob Yáñez)

Message from Barbara: Thank you for the work on the sms-language task. Now I’d like to summarize our job in an unusual way and to create some visual materials using some free internet applications like Popplet or Text2Mind Map.

• You or your teachers can use a very simple application Text2MindMap https://www.text2mindmap.com/ - it doesn’t require registration – it’s very easy to use, you have to only copy the words, paste them into the window on the left and click: Draw mind map.

• The second tool I’d like you will try is the Popplet: http://popplet.com/ - it requires registration and 5 popplets are free. It’s a very simple tool. I’ll send you the link to the instruction in English: https://youtu.be/CxLDsWHsQ1g

• You can see examples on a Page (SMS language ) and subpages (Gathering information- Popplet and Text2MindMap).

GROUP 2: Survey on mobile phones

• (led by Ana Arias/Spanish students Francisco Martínez/Javier Pajón)

• Check the data in the form and then complete the presentation with graphs and comments about the information given. Try one graph per slide and one comment summarizing the results. They can be global (including people from all four countries), specific to a country, comparing the same aspect in all four countries, or comparing teachers to students.
• Summary of data
• Data in the spreadsheet
• 
  

GROUP 3 : History of Mobile phones

• (led by Neringa Lemeziene/Spanish students Josefina Feito/Jennifer Vázquez)
• Message from Neringa: I appreciate your work on the slides about the history of mobile phones. Some of you have also shared some information and a photo of your first mobile phone. 
• Now, a new challenge is waiting for you. Why don't we create avatars? Go to www.voki.com and create a speaking creature which will say everything you write about your first mobile phone. When you do this, send the address of your avatar to your teacher. 
• Here is my avatar. Have a look and you will understand what I mean.  http://www.voki.com/site/pickup?scid=12646038&width=575&height=323&chsm=38ff2517dbc3a782b88b8b215c1efdcb

New eTwinning Project: Call Me Maybe

This will be our new eTwinning project for this school year 2015-2016:

CALL ME MAYBE

Partner schools

• Gimnazjum nr 23, Poznan, (Poland)
• CPI Tino Grandío, Guntín, Lugo (Spain)
• Tryškių Lazdynų Pelėdos gimnazija (Lithuania)

 Short description
Our students using different methods will enquire about the usage/importance of their mobile phones (frequency, applications, texting, phone calls, etc.) and constant feedback will be received from the partner schools.

Communication language: English

Age range: 12-16

Number of students

• Lithuania 12
• Spain 11
• Poland 12

 Subject areas

• cross-curricular
• ICT- information and communication technology
• maths
• European studies
• foreign languages

 Tools to be used

• mobile phones/iPhones/smartphones
• computers – computer room
• online polls
• questionnaires
• e-mail
• social networks
• blog
• project diary

 Aims
The final aim is to create a newspaper and/or online blog in which students can put all their articles about mobile phones trying to get a critical perspective of their importance and usefulness for European teenagers.

Work process
The students from our schools will decide on the aspects to be dealt with and then they will try to enrich the monthly topics created with their descriptions, charts, photos, sms language, etc.

They will make at least one survey about phones that can help to answer various questions from what are the favorable means of communication with friends and parents to what appliccations they prefer in their mobile phones. Students will collect data using different methods: questionnaires,  interviews, group work.

Communication will take place either using the Twinspace (forums, chatroom) or using social networks. If this last option is chosen, a common hashtag will have to be used. (very good)

Expected results

• An increase of cooperative skills and competence.
• Better ICT competence.
• An improvement of our students communicative competence in English.
• A critical view of our use of technologies.

Let's Cook Together - eTwinning recipes

As part of our eTwinning project you have to make some recipes of meals that you can cook or that you particularly like. They are going to be uploaded at the Twinspace we have for the project as well as at the project blog we have.

You might consider other designs for your recipe but we suggest making a short movie or a presentation.

After your movie or presentation is finished uploading it at YouTube or Slideshare will let us show it in the blog as you can see below.

SHORT FILM

1. record yourself / record somebody / let somebody record you while cooking
2. a mobile phone camera will do
3. carefully record the ingredients first
4. then all the steps to make the recipe
5. you can speak and tell how to make all the steps or record your voice later on
6. show the result, the dish as it is ready to be served
7. put all the bits together using MovieMaker or any other programme for film edition
8. write subtitles with the text (they should correspond to what you say)
9. if you have not spoken during the recording you might record your voice as you watch the film and then add  the audio file at the end (you probably have an audio recorder in your mobile)
10. add an opening and closing slide:
1. the opening slide should have the title of the recipe, the name of the project (Let's Cook Together) and you name
2. the closing slide should have the credits: the names of all the people who have helped you (family, friends, etc.), the school, etc.

PRESENTATION

1. first take pictures of the ingredients, they can be all in one picture or one picture per ingredient
2. then take pictures as you or somebody else is cooking the recipe
3. make a presentation and describe the process thoroughly
4. the first slide should be for the title of the recipe, your name and the name of the project, Let's Cook Together
5. the second slide (or maybe more than one) for the ingredients
6. and then the rest for each of the steps of the cooking process.
7. include text explaining each part
8. finally, show the resulting meal
