Modern educational practices advocate for cooperative teaching, following the doctrine of sociocultural theories, encouraging student collaboration, with the educator as a helper and motivator, guiding them towards the construction and ultimately the acquisition of knowledge.
For this reason, on Friday, September 8, 2023, an in-school training on collaborative documents and e-class (eclass) was conducted:
a) Eclass is a modern, collaborative, digital platform for students and educators, designed to support formal, informal, and non-formal learning activities. It provides the school community with a secure digital workspace and collaboration and is provided by the Ministry of Education & Religious Affairs (YPEPTH) as an asynchronous education platform for Greek schools.
b) Microsoft provides access from anywhere to an office suite, supports collaborative data processing, facilitates communication between students and educators, and also offers many free education-oriented applications.
The training was conducted by the teachers Varfi Maria and Tzoumaka Christina
You have implemented an interesting project on the development of students’ social skills, organizing various activities with your partners. The positive aspects were: – activities that resulted in common final products (e.g., presentations, ebooks, etc.) – teleconferencing communication – interaction and collaboration among students – evaluation and dissemination of the work.
