Digital Guided Tour in a Mountain Village: Kambos Tsakistras

Guidelines

Students gather information about the history of their village, its customs, traditions, and its most significant landmarks from various sources: (a) by studying the book "O Kambos" by Kyprianos Savvas, (b) conducting interviews with their grandparents, parents, or other community members who can enrich their material, (c) collecting old photos of the village and taking a walk to photograph the points of interest they will write about, (d) studying written texts or digital material found through research on websites, encyclopedias, electronic newspapers. After collecting the material, they work collaboratively, with the help of their teacher, to decide what to include in their digital book. Then, they work on the Book Creator application, and each student writes about a point of interest in the village on a separate page (it is a shared file that allows users to work on individual pages). They incorporate photos or videos they have collected, and after collectively making necessary corrections, they publish their digital book. Then, they create a QR code to share their digital guide for the village. Additionally, they create a QR code for each page of the digital book separately, which they place at the respective point of interest in the village.

Several devices purchased with LfE funds were used, such as laptops for storing and processing content as well as creating the digital book, mobile phones for taking photos, interviews, and videos, the interactive touch screen for studying materials and presenting individual work, and the school subscription to the Book Creator application.

Instructions given to students:
• Collect information about the village using as many sources as possible:
  o Study the book "O Kambos" by Kyprianos Savvas.
  o Conduct interviews with your parents, grandparents, and other people who know something that could help enrich your content (e.g., the village priest, a forestry officer, the village mayor).
  o Collect old photos of the village.
  o Conduct an on-site study of the points of interest you will include in your digital book and gather information and photos.
• Save the digital material you find in the relevant folder created in Teams.
• Write down important information found in print materials (such as books, encyclopedias, studies, etc.) in a Word file and save it in the corresponding folder in Teams.
• Record the interviews in a Word file.
• Study the material you have collected for each point of interest separately. Decide collaboratively what you would like to include in the digital guide you will create.
• Work on the Book Creator application individually on a separate page of the book created by your teacher (using the code number sent to you on Teams) and write about the point of interest you have chosen. Include videos or photos.
• After completing your page, read your classmates' pages and suggest changes or corrections (as they will do for your page).
• After completing your book, publish it and create a QR code to share it with others.
• Create a QR code for each page of the book separately, print it, and place it at the respective point of interest in the village.
