Preparing for Greece :)

  Hello everybody! Before the start of our winter break, we held our last meeting. We finished all the tasks from the 3rd Module and we are looking forward to traveling to Athens. In order to prepare for the trip, each student had to make a short presentation about Greece. We learned a lot of information about Greek history and culture. The presentations were about Greece, their gods, food, Athens, Olympic Games… We are ready to go 😃.   We can't wait to see you all in Greece.  Happy holidays to all of you from Croatian team!

Day without technology in Croatia

On Thursday, the 29th of November, we had “The Day without technology” at our school.  Our eco team went around the school and made some videos and interviews with students and teachers to find out how they feel. As we could see, most of our students have accepted to spend a day without technology. All of the students agreed that they talked much more to each other that day and played some games together for the rest of the time instead of looking at their mobile phones.  Teachers which are actively using technology every day in their classroom had many problems that day. They said it is easier to present a new lecture with technologies like smart-board, tablet or overhead projector. It is faster, more visible and easier to present. Without any technology, teachers had only the blackboard, chalk and paper at their disposal. Some students said it was great to see the way how their parents were taught at school.  The day without technology was a great experience and
