THIRD COMENIUS MEETING
(Arad, April, 7th-12th 2011)
Nicoleta’s ideas
- Nicoleta gave us examples of what her school had done in previous Comenius projects (a photo album and a booklet). She also gave us a model of a handout in order to evaluate our students’ presentations, which would be advisable to use next year.
Our webpage
- Liana recommended using Mozilla instead of Internet Explorer in order to load up the material on our webpage, since the Explorer can cause problems.
- Liana also recommended saving our work as a PDF file because, as it is smaller, it is also easier to upload and to open.
- If the lines are too busy, we can have problems to enter the webpage, but she advised us not to worry and try again later.
- Nicoleta commented that the webpage created after the first meeting had been hacked and everything disappeared. That’s why we should think about what we can do to prevent this from happening again. Her suggestion was to upload our projects on a special data base, called European shared treasure (EST), created last year for all the schools running Comenius projects. We’d rather have a look at it first.
- Alexandra suggested uploading all the material with links to each school website.
- Christian recommended saving everything in the oldest Windows version so that everybody can open it.
- If we want to upload a powerpoint presentation with our photos (the Spanish team tried to upload one about the Greek week), we cannot do it on the photo and video section; we should let Christian know where we want him to load it, though.
Paloma’s suggestions
- By the end of the second year we should summarize all we have done. It should not be extra work, but something easy just in order to put the main ideas into the same file as a prologue to our final work.
- One idea could be a preparing a summary of all the power point presentations or perhaps we could use a different support (not a word document but something more visual).
- Nicoleta suggested a chronological presentation with some photos of what we did.
Polish meeting
- Dates: 6th – 12th October
- Agneska suggested a title for our next meeting: A visit to paradise!
- 6th October: Arrival. Probably all of us (except, perhaps, for the Romanian team) will arrive at Warsow Airport. If teams agree to wait for about an hour (and, as far as I know, we agree), a bus will be arranged for everybody (about 25 € per person). The trip takes 2 hours from the capital to Ostroleka. Evening free!
- October, 7th: Official and welcome dinner
- October, 11th: Farewell party
- October, 12th: Come back
- Important for reservations: Ostroleka is a small town and there are not many hotels available so the Polish team would like to know the following information by the end of May:
- The number of teachers and students taking part in the meeting.
- Their names and surnames (including the students’ sex in order to match the couples).
- The number and type of rooms the teachers need.
First year report
- ALL THE MATERIAL SHOULD BE FINISHED AND UPLOADED BY THE END OF MAY OR THE BEGINNING OF JUNE IN ORDER TO WRITE THE FIRST YEAR REPORT.
