"Ithaca: is it THE destination? A multidisciplinary approach"

By using the poem 'Ithaca' of Kavafis, in multiple representations (text, comic, video with narration) we intend to engage students in meaningful, creative group activities to enable them to enrich their vocabulary and understand the meaning of the poem. They should also be able to express what their Ithaca is.

Στόχοι

Γενικός Σκοπός του όλου έργου ήταν η δημιουργία του πρώτου μουσείου υπολογιστών στην Κύπρο, το οποίο θα αποτελεί και χώρο μάθησης για την εξέλιξη των υπολογιστών. Για την πραγματοποίησή του εργάστηκαν αρκετοί μαθητές, εκπαιδευτικοί, γονείς και μέλη της κοινότητας του σχολείου.

Τα παιδιά, μέσα από την εμπλοκή τους στο έργο:

"Εβδομάδα Κώδικα": Εισήγηση για ημερίδα ΤΠΕ Παιδαγωγικού Ινστιτούτου Κύπρου, 2015

Σκοπός της εφαρμογής του προγράμματος «Εβδομάδα Κώδικα» ήταν η γνωριμία των μαθητών όλων των τάξεων με τον προγραμματισμό και τα πλεονεκτήματα που προκύπτουν από την ενασχόληση με αυτόν.

"Ιστορία των Υπολογιστών": Κυπριακό Μουσείο Υπολογιστών, 2015

Περιγραφή εξέλιξης των υπολογιστών, από το 2200 π.Χ. μέχρι και σήμερα. Περιγραφή υπολογιστών από τη δεκαετία του 1970 μέχρι και το Raspberry Pi του 2012.

Τα κείμενα έγιναν από τους μαθητές του Δημοτικού Αγίου Σπυρίδωνα Λευκωσίας, στα πλαίσια (και) του Ολοήμερου Σχολείου, τη χρονιά 2013-2014. Τα περισσότερα από τα μηχανήματα φιλοξενούνται στο Μουσείο Υπολογιστών που στεγάζεται (προσωρινά) στο σχολείο μας.

"Τηλεένταξη μαθητών απομακρυσμένων σχολείων στο μάθημα Επιστήμης σχολείου πόλης": Εισήγηση που υποβλήθηκε στα πλαίσια της ημερίδας ΤΠΕ του Παιδαγωγικού Ινστιτούτου Κύπρου, 2015

Στόχοι

Ο γενικός σκοπός της προσέγγισης ήταν η ενσωμάτωση μαθητριών των απομακρυσμένων σχολείων στο μάθημα Επιστήμης του κεντρικού (hub) σχολείου, με τρόπο τέτοιο που να επιτρέψει στις εκπαιδευτικούς των σχολείων αυτών, την ώρα της Επιστήμης, να εργαστούν με τα υπόλοιπα παιδιά. Μέσα από την τηλε-ένταξη, οι μαθήτριες είχαν την ευκαιρία να αναπτύξουν τη συνεργασία με άλλα παιδιά της ηλικίας τους και να λάβουν μέρος σε εκδηλώσεις του κεντρικού σχολείου.

Acceptance and integration of refugees through a game based learning scenario

Almost 40% of students in our school originate from Eastern European or Middle East countries. In recent years, a lot of people are migrating from Middle East countries and come to Cyprus as political refugees and in many cases their children become students in primary schools. Through this scenario, we are expecting students to engage in activities that will allow them to understand the reasons that forced people to migrate from their countries to Cyprus, and the problems they face in their new country.

Acceptance and integration of refugees through a game-based learning scenario

Primary schools in Cyprus have managed to integrate students from various eastern European, Asian and middle east countries. In recent years, wars in the area have forced significant number of refugees to relocate to Europe. Children from Syria, Palestine and other countries attend school for at least a year. Through this scenario, students can learn the difficulties that force people to become refugees.

Apoplous Open Education Report, April 2006

A newsletter published by Apoplous.org during a 3-year research study of thin clients in primary education (Cyprus). Between 2005 - 2008, a one to one ratio was achieved in a primary school in Cyprus, using thin clients and open source software to assess their impact in lowering the total cost of ownership of computers in education. In this issue we take a look at interactive whiteboards and their use in the classroom, as well as a look on the benefits of laptops in the classroom.
