Tutti a Iscol@ Linea B3 - IDEA (Educational Innovation and Learning)

HIGHLIGHTS

EVENTS

THE BIRTH OF THE PROJECT

The Linea B3 IDEA Project, hereinafter called IDEA, is an integral part of the regional programme Tutti a Iscol@. It derives from the experience gained by the Educational Technology group (Edutech) of CRS4 in the Tutti a Iscol@ Linea B2 project (2015/2018). The latter organized many extracurricular educational workshops in Sardinian schools, based on an innovative approach using digital technologies. IDEA focuses on teachers experimenting with digital technologies. This way, innovative knowledge and practices are anchored in curricular activities and become part of schools heritage.

PROJECT

IDEA is an integral part of the regional programme Tutti a Iscol@, namely line B3. The Department of Education of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia in agreement with Sardegna Ricerche entrusted the project implementation to the Educational Technology group of CRS4, and financed it with Cohesion Action Plan resources. The project target are Sardinian, state, lower and upper secondary schools.

PROGRAMME

Unfolding over a three year period, the programme of the IDEA project is implemented between 2018 and 2020. It involves all four Provinces of Sardinia and is developed in two phases. A group of didactic and technological tutors are selected by CRS4 and instructed on the project philosophy. Then, during the first phase, they will support and coach participating teachers as they experiment with new methods and new educational tools. During the second phase, teachers will implement in their classes and with their students the innovative practices explored with their tutors. As part of the project, other activities such as conferences, seminars and webinars will be offered. Intended for teachers, they will be the opportunity to reflect and exchange information on technological innovation in teaching.

THE THEMES

The IDEA project experimentation unfolds in 2019 and focuses on the following three themes

SCHOOL WITHOUT WALLS

Taking school programmes beyond schools walls, giving students the opportunity to take a more in-depth and critical look at their territory.

COMPUTATIONAL THINKING

“Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes” (E.W. Dijkstra)

INTERDISCIPLINARITY IN DIGITAL TEACHING

The use of Artificial Intelligence for an overall approach of school subjects.

“IDEA aims to renew teaching practices, by guiding teachers in a path of experimentation using Digital technologies”

The project foresees public meetings for teachers. Events take place in Sardinia and are an opportunity to reflect and exchange ideas on technological innovation in teaching. All the work done – paperwork, knowledge, experiments, documentation – flows into both this web site and the platform developed by CRS4 to share and disseminate the project results and contents.
