Welcoming Europe into the Class
Start date: Nov 6, 2014, End date: Nov 5, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

With the evolution of technology it is now possible for us to have the whole of Europe at the touch of a button in our classrooms. The possibilities are endless, blogging, webinairs, electronic lessons all things that we could only imagine 5 years ago but are now embracing as part of our normal day to day teaching. What next then? Simple a Virtual Learning Environment a VLE, a place to store, access from anywhere, and share the bank of wonderful resources we have built up and are continuing to build through co-operating in projects with our European partners. This dream can easily become a reality we have the enthusiasm and are ready for the challenge but we need funding to help us achieve this. Funding will allow us to access the expertise of people working in this field, this will enable us to create a tailored made resource which meets the needs of our school. We can train staff, pupils and parents in its use and maintenance and give them access and the support to develop areas within where they can have autonomy over their learning. We will continue to work alongside our European School partners, Basque Country, (Spain), Republic of Ireland, Finland, Greece, and Italy to develop resources to share for the mutual benefit of our pupils, in languages, the environment, the people and the places in which we live. A VLE will give us the perfect safe environment to share, exhibit and exchange information and ideas. We will provide opportunities for our staff to travel and visit other educational settings- where they will have the opportunity to not only experience school life in another setting but also the culture and traditions of that country. They will explore similarities and differences between education systems, meet with staff and exchange ideas and solutions to the problems we all face on a day to day basis, E safety and lack of resources especially lack of playground space. We will provide opportunities for staff to develop their own personal skills and competencies working alongside specialists in the field of ICT in the educational setting. Staff will have the opportunity to broaden their horizons through travel, they will experience the culture and traditions of other nationalities. They will have opportunities to learn and build upon their existing language skills. Ultimately they will have time away from school to share new experiences with other members of staff, many of whom will never have worked closely together, thus it will help to break down barriers and promote team work within our organisation.
