"In the distance education process that started across Europe due to Covid-19, the need to increase the application capacity of education and training institutions of online, blended, distance education and training; to develop the digital pedagogical competence of educators in order to provide high quality inclusive digital education; to develop and use high quality digital content such as innovative online resources and tools has emerged.EGLA from Finland, Izmir Provincial Directorate of National Education, ARKAS Science and Art Center, Private Gaziemir Ugur Secondary School from Turkey and Tallinna 21. Kool from Estonia have initiated a Strategic Partnership in the field of school education. The purpose of this partnership is to network among institutions across the EU, to bring together digital technology providers and experts in educational technologies and related pedagogical practices to share resources and expertise.The total duration of the project is 24 months. LTT 1 activity will be conducted under the leadership of the Tallinna 21. Kool from Estonia. In this workshop, material development training with methods and techniques related to new approaches; Educational scenarios and interdisciplinary modeling, interactive videos, visuals, mind maps, Web tools for coding studies, distance measurement and evaluation, distance lecture materials will be produced. LTT 2 activity will be created under the leadership of the European Green Lean Association EGLA. With this LTT, our teachers will be trained on how to design and develop their own digital games. As a result of LTT, teachers will gain the competence to create their own course contents using their new digital skills and competencies. Good examples and practices will be integrated into the lessons.In the project process, a total of three TPMs on ""Quality Assessment of Digital Materials"" and ""Quality Assessment of Digital Game Materials"" will be held in addition to the project kick-off meeting.In LTTs to be held on ""Digital Material Development"" in Estonia and ""Digital Game Training"" in Finland, trainers from partner institutions will participate in short-term joint staff training activities. Administrators and teachers (Technologies, Science, Social Sciences, Mathematics, Applied Courses, Foreign Languages, Classroom Teachers) who have an ICT-related infrastructure, and who want to improve themselves, who will use and disseminate the information obtained during the project process in education and training activities, and who will provive with sufficient language level Information will participate in these activities. Participation criteria will be announced on the board accessible to all teachers. The final participants will be determined by one-on-one interviews with the participants by a five-person selection commission consisting of individuals from different institutions.Our project will have four outputs.O1 PortalO2 Digital Materials Development, Preparation of event plans and materialsO3 Digital Education Games DevelopmentO4 Digital Education GuideOur project is innovative in the fields of both developing the digital competencies of teachers and producing digital course contents, lessons, distance measurement and evaluation web tools in accordance with their needs, and improving the capacity of partner institutions.As the dissemination activity of our project, a conference will be organized by the İzmir Provincial Directorate of National Education. This event will include Teachers, Official and Private School Institution Managers, Assistants in Schools, Academicians, Parents, NGOs working on Education and Informatics, Policymakers, Written and Visual Press representatives and Foreign participants. Academicians will make thematic presentations on Digitalization in Education and Distance Learning; the project, outputs and prepared materials will be presented to the participants by the project team; In addition, teachers participating in learning, teaching and training activities will share their experiences based on their training and observations. The emphasis and program of the conference will be the dissemination and promotion of the project and the Diji-Tech e-Platform, which will be visited frequently by all European teachers."

"Five European schools joined an international project and developed innovative teaching techniques in order to improve the educational system by using Maths to solve real life problems. The main idea that has led to this project was the fact that more then 73% of student from partner schools consider Maths impossible, boring and useless. This is why the students' interest in Maths must be increased, the low achievers’ knowledge and skills must be improved. These goals can be reached by developing new learning materials and techniques.The project ""MATHS IN DAILY LIFE”aims to increase the students’ interest in studying Maths.Specific Objectives:- assist 40 teachers and 120 students to create innovative interdisciplinary materials;- make 5 international exchanges until 01.09.2021;- increase mathematical skills for 80% of students from 5 EU countries until 01.09.2021;- encourage curiosity and creativity among students from 5 EU schools;- develop connection between mathematics and real life;- extend intercultural communication for 80% of participating students from 5 European schools until 01.09.2021; - use inquiry-based learning to improve mathematics assessment.The project is dedicated to students aged between 13 and 18 years from five European countries.During the project, there will be five short term exchange of pupils for 120 students and 40 teachers.The project’s activities are organized so that they will increase students’ motivation and curiosity in learning Math by developing new learning methods and inspiring them to learn by discovering, doing, thinking, creating, imagining, developing ICT skills.In order to achieve the project’s goals, we use the inquiry-based learning method. Students will learn on their own that Maths, more than any other school object, has countless implications in real life.Each partner will approach a different topic connected to math: MATHS & ART, MATHS IS FUN, MATHS IN MOTION, and MATHS IN SHAPES, INNOVATIVE MATHS METHODS. Due to a cross-curricular approach, students will make connections between Maths and Art, History, Music, Physical Education and ICT.The project aims to obtain the following tangible results:project’s logo, presentations,brochure with poems, project’ song, project’s calendar, photos, drawings, surveys “Math in daily life - How Healthy Is Your Lifestyle?”, travel guide, videos “Using History to Teach Math”, toys with geometric shapes, questionnaires, project’s booklet and the DVD of the project. The project aims to obtain the following intangible results: increase mathematic competence, improve maths assessment, stimulate teaching and learning and develop motivation for using cross-curricular materials and inquiry-based learning in the educational process.""MATHS IN DAILY LIFE"" project will develop a valid model of innovative methods used to teach and learn Math. The project team is optimistic about the results of the international cooperation, considering that the project will lead to an international school, even after the EU funding is over."
