C - Are students required to share responsibility and make substantive decisions with other people? Is their work interdependent? KC - Are students required to construct and apply knowledge? Is that knowledge interdisciplinary? RWPS - Does the learning activity require solving authentic, real-world problems? Are students solutions implemented in the real world? ICT - Are students passive consumers of ICT, active users, or designers of an ICT product for an authentic audience? SR - Is the learning activity long-term? Do students plan and assess their own work, and revise their work based on feedback? SK-K - Are students required to communicate their own ideas regarding a concept or issue? Must their communication be supported with evidence and designed with a particular audience in mind? 4

Modern approach towards learning:Teach a STUDENT, not a SUBJECT. It doesnt matter as much WHAT you KNOW, but WHAT CAN you DO.TEACH and LEARN how to LEARN.Transformation of TEACHER from a PREACHER to the LEADER. DO it yourself and LEARN together. ESKILLS.EC.EUROPA.EU

Learning objectives of the workshop:How can we plan cross-subject learning activities easily? How to plan meaningful ICT usage?How to design learning products? What is one IDEA we can take back home? ESKILLS.EC.EUROPA.EU
