This summer starts
with a surprise!
I`ve finished “The
EU Icebreaker MOOC” from
EU SCHOOL NET, met peers from more than 60 countries and share with them my
motivations and expectations for the next Code Week in October. The EU Code Week has even more to offer to teachers.
Now that you have understood how to organise and register an activity and how
to use the Code Week website in your national language, we want to show you
some of these additional opportunities.
As a teacher
committed to integrating digital creativity, coding or computational thinking
in my classroom, the EU Code Week team encourages me to share my good practices
with other teachers, and parents, and learn from others. This is why I`ll take
part in “the Code Week 4 All challenge for you”. The challenge aims to motivate
my Ss and me to connect activities and best practices locally, nationally, and
internationally.“Addressing the Global Climate Crisis in Your
Classroom” from SCHOOL
EDUCATIONAL GATEWAY. Student activists like Greta Thunberg have put schools at
the forefront of the global climate crisis. Accordingly, tackling the topic of
the global climate crisis in our classrooms has rarely been more important.
This course will help me to understand and make sense of the scientific
evidence behind the crisis and the associated ongoing debates. More
importantly, it will explore how I can approach the topic through projects and
other activities in my classroom. As a participant, I`ve explored the basic
science behind climate change; learnt about the main consequences of the
climate crisis; discovered ideas, pedagogical practices and tools that can help
me to address the climate crisis and environmental sustainability in my
classroom; understoond how to utilise and integrate student thinking about the
climate crisis into classroom activities; investigated approaches to organise
constructive debates on the topic of climate change; discussed how to organise
constructive debates and student projects addressing the climate crisis.
