Was europäische Lehrkräfte voneinander lernen können
Building from iStage 2
A project initiated by
Science on Stage Germany
and
SAP
20 Teachers from 14 countries2 years of work - 2012/2014
Officially public the 5th December 2014
iStage 2 : Smartphones
The teachers have created teaching units on how to integrate smartphones in their classes.
The aspect of project work and international collaboration is included.
The concrete practical teaching units include list for apps, hints how to use apps and a how the project work can be successfully integrated in schools using different forms of communication.
Smart AccelerometerA teaching unit by
Lorenza Resta (ita)
Zbigniew Trzmiel (pol)
Giovanni Pezzi (ita)
Gave the idea of an international competition using eTwinning
Competition Goals
Bring more teachers and students to use smartphones to do outdoor acceleration measures
Incite teachers to use eTwinning to collaborate between schools of the same or different country
Add some fun by turning it to a friendly and collaborative competition
How to participate ?
Teachers create a free account on eTwinning
In their eTwinning Desktop they search for«Jean-Luc Richter» and ask for a contact
Then they send me a message to take part in the competition and I will add them to the project

eTwinning sending a messageWWW.ETWINNING.NET
Why eTwinning ?
It’s a free collaborative internet platform for teachers
It’s supported by the European Union and part of Erasmus + for education
It is secure and students and parents can take part in a project through the «Twinspace» and the «Twinblog»

The CompetitionThe student teams have to go to any fun fair, or any attraction and make measurement on the attraction with the smartphone.
The teacher of the students acts as coordinator of the project work.
After the experiment, the students present a summary of their measurements in one A4 pdf page with one picture where you can see the students doing the experiment with their smartphones.
ANY AMUSEMENT ATTRACTION IS ALLOWED !FROM THE SMALLEST CARROUSEL TO THE BIGGEST ROLLER COASTER
A4 IS NOT ENOUGH ?! BE CREATIVEIT’S JUST THE «RESUME» AND YOU CAN WRITE AND SHOW MORE IN THE TWINSPACE
ONLY TEXT : BORING ADD GRAPHICS & IMAGES
WinnersAll participants win because they took part to the competition and learned by experimenting
To motivate teams, two «official winners» will be announced at the Science on Stage Festival in London, in June 2015 :
Best attraction of Europethe longest and strongest acceleration according to the students’ measurements
Best experiment reportpicture quality, scientific value of the way the experiment was done and presented and originality of the presentation
How to do the measures ?
In the teaching unit from Lorenza Resta, Giovanni Pezzi, Zbigniew Trzmiel. This teaching material will be available in the project Twinspace
Help each others through the Twinspace
Always follow the park security rules and watch for students safety during the experiments
Most important : HAVE FUN !This project can be a great way to make your
students love physics and learn by communicating and international collaboration
