2018 – Numeracy and Literacy Through Coding and Robotics
Project Overview
The project involves the use of coding and robotics to solve mathematical and literacy problems.
- Exploring new concepts of Mathematics and Literacy
- Use ICT with use of coding
- Collaborative work
- Use of English Language to communicate between different countries
This is the teaching we are aiming to reach through this project. Our educators are on board because through the etwinning experience with coding and robotics in a previous project, they saw the results with their own learners.
- They want more training and experience in this field.
- Using of resources such as Beebots and Probots to help our students in their learning while make teaching and learning fun.
- Use of Interactive whiteboards to help in the teaching literacy, numeracy, art, science etc…
- Use of tables – one tablet per child This will be our first Erasmus+ project and we are looking forward :
- to train our trainer,
- for our trainers to share their work
- to share good practices
- to make learning and teaching easier and fun In this Erasmus+ project we are the lead applicant of the project because through our own experiences, we know what we want to gain from this project, we know what training our educators need, we know what experiences and good practices we want to gain.
We know that we have a very versatile staff who are willing to learn and go over and above their workload to get enough skills in digital literacy and numeracy to help them get through all students, no matter what their background is, no matter what their abilities are.
St Nicholas College, Rabat Primary School is the coordinating school in this project. The key person was Ms Dorita Maniscalco – Assistant Head of School and former IT Support Teacher. Since she has recently been deployed as Head of School a new coordinator has been appointed, namely Ms Maria Muscat, Assistant Head. Through her leadership skills, Ms Muscat will guide and help educators ensuring the success, the implementation and dissemination of the project.
The partners would like to thank Ms Dorita Maniscalco for having been the mastermind behind this project.
