Fourth day short-term joint staff training event

Back down to work. We have gathered to finish with the eTwinning training related to the invitation of students in the platform and we have been trained in the use of flipped classroom methodology.

We have agreed the flipped classroom could be used by students to look at the videos produced by both schools at home or other kind if material.

In the last part of the training, we have looked at all the activities in detail and how to organise them and we have agreed the school which will be in charged of each one.

We have also looked through the schedule of the project, considering the chance of re-plan again if necessary.

Third day in short term joint staff training

Today we have been trained in eTwinning platform by Maria Dampratzidou. It has been very interesting and useful and we will explain the other members of the project how to use it when we go back to School.

We have also learns the use of some W2.0 tools to elaborate activities to be included in the project.

Finally, we have played a visit to the headquarters of the Secondary Education Board of Katerini and talked with the head of the Board Minister Kaztaridis.

Second day of short term joint staff training in Katerini

Tuesday 16th October (Local festivity) Due to the local festivity the two teachers from Elexalde and Katerini pedagogical team have visited some cultural sights as well as tasted some typical Greek food and participated in Greek dances as part of the project. These activities are included in the project and we consider them an important and necessary way to know the Greek heritage, so that it could be disseminated in Elexalde High School.

We also see the schools' websites, the Blog we are going to share, twinspace and the instagram account as a way of dissemination of the project.

But as it is said "work and not play makes a Jack a dull Boy" so we stop for a break and we are delighted by some traditional Greek songs and dances performed by a group of students.
