Visual aids to make learning/teaching easier

"The project “Visual aids for easier learning/teaching” will be completed by 6 partners – technical secondary schools from BG Burgas, GR Aigion, FR Dijon, SL Prešov, SE Vaggeryd, CZ Pardubice.These schools provide education to at about 1 000 students aged 15 – 19 (12 – 19 BG). Taught branches are concentrated on Mathematics, Physics, ICT, Electrical engineering, Electronics, Science, (BG), Wind turbine maintenance (FR), others.Each partner is going to create 6 quality videos which should visualize learning/teaching technical subjects, Mathematics, Science. The aim is to make learning of its difficult parts more clear, understandable. One video will popularize a subject(s) students consider to be interesting, belong to their favourite. Its choice will be based on eTwinning project ""My favourite subject(s)"" Participating members will be students studying Multimedia subjects and/or are interested in videos making, at about 30 at each school. They will learn/deepen knowledge and skills needed for the quality videos making (handle with camera, do script, cut, soundtrack, animation, video effects, write titles, use distribution means). They will also learn basics of programs used by video makers in each school ( For example Adobe Premiere - Pinnacle Studio, Audacity, Subtitle Workshop, Animate, Affects, media Encode) Apart from professional aims the project implementation includes other objectives and benefits - partners will exchange methods of teaching multimedia and technical subjects which will enrich their school curricula. Teachers will process “Methodology of video teaching” to help beginners. Participants will considerably enrich awareness about 6 countries cultures, lifestyle; they will improve English, learn basics of each partner language; deepen team work while cooperating in international teams; increase motivation to self- study. Personal development (responsibility, reliability) cannot be neglected.Project implementation is divided into 6 learning/teaching phases, each is focused on precision of one step of video creating precision which will be realized by making 1 video. At the end of each phase partners will cooperate in LTTA, gradually at each partner school. Made videos will be projected, evaluated, discussed there. Students will also create short videos/clips in international teams to exchange practical experience, improve learned skills during LTTAs.Dissemination belongs to inseparable parts of the project. Participants will make videos, presentations about each LTTA which they will perform in classes, at school events, to the public - at parents meetings, Open school door, others.Visual aids will be accessible for interested schools since they will be published on the project web in the file MP4, You tube, eTwinning and Erasmus platforms. Other dissemination means will be roll ups, posters, noticeboards, short performance on Amos Visual interactive panels installed in 30 CZ schools. Popularization technical studies and the project implementation, results will be also made by articles published in the local press, at the meetings of headmasters, in SIPO (methodical web) of the Czech School Ministry. Variety of knowledge which students obtain will be definitely used in the future as well be as visual aids will be used in schools for teaching and self-studies. Some these schools can follow the method of making videos to visualize learning/teaching."
