The Project aims to implement –
throughout the universal and transversal topic “water” - an educational,
collaborative, interactive and transnational activity based on a shared
virtual desktop and to evaluate its application as a reproducible model, the
first for the schools, contributing to the student’s formative success.
For these reasons, the project will involve – operatively and creatively -
students, teachers and families in the experimentation of multimedia
technologies and telecommunication, developing distance learning, shared
through the Internet network. This Project means to promote the union of
friendly and creative acquaintance using diversity like mutual enrichment
and cognitive incentive. Therefore, the use of Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) is essential in order to strengthen the European
dimension of learning, to promote the transnational cooperation of the
citizens, the stimulation of lifelong learning through innovative and
accessible methods.
