ePlanet
Gli alunni della classe 5CM hanno ricevuto il Certificato di Qualità per il progetto ePlanet portato avanti nel corso dell’anno scolastico 2016-2017 con partner tedeschi e greci. Il progetto, che prevedeva la creazione del magazine on line ePlanet è stato seguito dalle prof.sse Chiara Diomedi e Laura Ridolfi.
Come è fatta la nostra scuola, quali sono le attrezzature, come vengono gestite le emergenze. Questo è il contenuto dell’intervista realizzata nell’ambito di un progetto eTwinning a.s. 2016-17 denominato “ePlanet” che la nostra scuola sta portando avanti insieme a una scuola tedesca e una greca.
La Dirigente parla dell’edificio, delle attrezzature in dotazione all’Istituto e dei piani di sicurezza. Gli studenti del 4°A Chimici hanno realizzato l’intervista, il montaggio e hanno creato i sottotitoli in inglese proprio per inserire il lavoro nella rivista online che stanno creando insieme ai loro colleghi tedeschi e greci.

The three aspects we shall mainly deal with are the following;
1. Genetically Modified food and world policies about it.
2. The past, the present and the future we hope for our school buildings (bioclimatic architecture).
3. Life of animals in the environment of our cities.
Each class will be divided into three groups, they will start finding information in Libraries and on the internet, for the three main aspects of the e-magazine. They will then evaluate their findings and after new research and debate with their counterparts of the other schools, they shall collaboratively write down in an e-magazine form and present their final thoughts on the aspect. Students will be encouraged to interview knowledgeable members of our society.
In parallel, some pupils will be trained on using desktop publishing, audio and video editing software, comic creation programs and the TwinSpace platform. Photography and video lessons are scheduled. Surveys will be used.
Closing date is some day of June
The final product of our collaboration will be an online magazine and our publicly accessed TwinSpace.
