Digitaaliset pelit ja sovellukset oppimisen ja opettamisen tukena -paja

Pajan tarkoituksena oli opettaa kahdeksasluokkalaisille ilmastonmuutosaihetta sekä kehittää heidän digitaalisia taitojaan. Kolmas tavoite oli, että kahdeksasluokkalaiset tuottavat itse digitaalista ilmastonmuutos-opetusmateriaalia. Pajamme pedagogisena lähtökohtana oli flipped learning eli käänteinen oppiminen.

Näin ollen kahdeksasluokkalaiset saivat tehtäväkseen opettaa digitaalisin keinoin ilmastonmuutos-teemaa 4-luokkalaisille. Paja kesti kolme päivää, jonka aikana oppilaat suunnittelivat ja loivat mm. digitaalisia pelejä, meemejä, sarjakuvia, ristikoita, visailuja, luokittelutehtäviä ja videoita ilmastonmuutoksesta.

Digitaalisesta opetusmateriaalista pidettiin yhteistyökoulussamme ja sitä aiottiin hyödyntää myös jatkossa, ilmastonmuutos-oppituntien tukena.

Workshop of information literacies – Online inquiry about climate change

The goals of the workshop were to teach the topic of climate change to 8th graders and develop their skills of online inquiry.The students made presentations of climate change to different target groups. The workshop was part of the larger Climate change project (‘theme days’) for all 8th graders. The workshop lasted three days, during which the students learned methods for online inquiry, how to be critical to the data in the Internet and search for suitable data to their target group (e.g. pre-school children, other students in the lower secondary school, parents and the local people in the suburb area). The students designed and created presentations, such as videos, articles to the local magazine and a speech to the school radio. All the presentations were published after the workshop.

Food surplus workshop

This project on food surplus was carried out in October 2020 with eighth-grade students in Finland. In total eight Finnish teachers participated in the planning and implementation of this theme week and two teachers planned this workshop on food surplus. The preliminary planning of this project took about three days and the last day of this theme week was used for evaluation and reporting of the workshops.

The aim of this project was to learn about climate change with different themes. Other goals for this project were learning about different digital text types and creating them.

The eighth-grade students of a Finnish lower secondary school were divided into groups of about 10 students and they worked together in a two-day workshop with the direction of two teachers.

The outcome of this project were different multimodal presentations made by the students.
