Best practices: (IPad-project)

We have done three different projects by using iPads. Pupils were from two different classes 3B and 5C and all of the tasks were completed last spring.

Comics: We started by creating storyline and we used Simplemind+ program for that task. Pupils from different classes and age groups worked as pairs and they were given instructions what should be included when they made mind map (main characters, places, plot elements etc.).

After they had finished planning we used Pic2comic-program to get some real photos. It is a program that can be used for creating strips, by using preset filters. Photos can also be given a comic-like appearance and program also allows some photo editing.

Website: digitalschoolseurope.eu

Dublin West Education Centre

After that those pictures were opened by using Stripdesigner, a program that is better suited for compiling comics and it also has wide variety of options how to add elements to photos like preset pictures, text or hand drawn sketches.



We have a limited amount of iPads, and transferring comics or any work out of iPad requires pupils to login at Microsoft services, and if tablets are used by different people one needs to know how to remove login information (that iPad automatically saves even if user logs out of the service). We also had to teach how to remove passwords after we had used OneNote for publishing comics.

Music video:



We have done several different types of videos, for example, older pupils made videos about age limits. They were published in the national magazine Helsingin Sanomat http://www.hs.fi/kotimaa/a1424065625211. Last spring we made music videos and we started by composing songs by using GarageBand and at the same time pupils wrote lyrics at KidBlog.



http://www.hs.fi/kotimaa/a1424065625211

Pupils watched a couple of music videos as examples, and requirement for a video was that it should support lyrics and tell the story that had been written. IMovie was used for shooting the music video. Pupils worked as pairs and were both from different classes, 3rd and 5th. After they had written lyrics they started planning the video. Due to time limits we skipped commenting lyrics part and also because pupils worked at different phases, it would have caused unnecessary arrangements getting all into the same place, while some were shooting film and others were composing their song.

OneNote Classroom program with my students. I like it, because it`s so diverse learning environment. You can make your own environments to all subjects.

Methods: First, of course, we learned how to use OneNote Classroom. Previous years we have been using other Office365 programs, so it helped a lot. The pupils knew how to use Word and PowerPoint, so OneNote Classroom was not so hard. The best way to learn something new, is to do it again and again. We have been using OneNote Classroom mainly in Finnish language and literature; writing stories. We also made presentations in Biology. Instructions were given how to add pictures and references; pupils also wrote instructional summaries of different sports activities. Goals: Learn different subjects by using ICT skills.

Assessment: Teacher assessment. It is easy for the teacher to know what the students have been doing, because in OneNote Classroom you can see everything on students’ pages and outputs. Students made a presentation and it was evaluated by peers. The main focus was on content and how the presentation was planned. Students didn’t give written feedback and all evaluation was done orally.

How is ICT being used creatively? We should be learning different subjects by using ICT. It should become a natural part of school subjects and projects. Project provided opportunities for co-operation and possibility to use individual strengths and abilities that



otherwise had not been evident. This project also promoted autonomous learning, self-directed learning and peer-assessment skills.

Materials: It was allowed to search information from the book and from the Internet. When the students found an element or a compound, they took a picture of it and uploaded it to the group’s Padlet-wall and named it. QR-codes were used to share the address. Assessment: The teacher checked the Padlet-




walls regularly and informed the students about the situation in competition.

How is ICT being used creatively ? ICT was used in documentation. The competition motivated the students to do their best.

Contact details of school project coordinator Headmaster of Kaakkuri schoolTitle of project Virtual visitors in science project




Our group has 14 students who are 15 or 16 years old. We study the creative nature of science.


The aim is to make students aware of the various disciplines to the study and to deepen the topic.

Beginning of a project teacher gives students the main problem related to the topic. The problem can be different one for every study group.

Then students in the group are doing experimental research on the subject. They are also looking for information and by this doing they are trying to solve the problem. We use blog as day book.

Finally we call the expert online.Virtual visitor tell us about the topic. We try to connect our studies to real life or science. Students can ask the questions from visitor.

We have had a variety of topics, such as climate change, paper-making or biochemistry.

The students are doing the blog article during the project. They record their notes, photos, stages, research results and findings for their blogs. They can also learn about



each other's blogs. In our blogs we use wordpress blogs and visitings are organized by Adobe Connect or Lync access.

It's quite easy to find interesting visitors from expert network by Economic Information Office. However you have to do some work to find a suitable time for visit.

Visitors are volyntary and they want to tell to young people about their topics or professional.

How is ICT being used creatively ? Pupils make a blog creatively and plan their studies independently. Teacher helps if it's needed and gives some tips. Students have enought time to do their research.

students to master given the students individual strengths and aptitudes. Methods: What are the instructional decisions, approaches, procedures or routines that teachers use to enhance learning. Materials: What are the tools used to present learning content and the tools the learner uses to demonstrate knowledge. Assessment: What is the process of gathering information about a learner’s performance using a variety of methods and materials in order to determine learners’ knowledge, skills, and motivation for the purpose of making informed educational decisions.

like it, because it`s so diverse learning environment. You can make your own environments to all subjects.

Methods: First, of course, we learned how to use OneNote Classroom. Previous years we have been using other Office365 programs, so it helped a lot. The pupils knew how to use Word and PowerPoint, so OneNote Classroom was not so hard. The best way to learn something new, is to do it again and again. We have been using OneNote Classroom mainly in Finnish language and literature; writing stories. We also made presentations in Biology. Instructions were given how to add pictures and references; pupils also wrote instructional summaries of different sports activities. Goals: Learn different subjects by using ICT skills.

Assessment: Teacher assessment. It is easy for the teacher to know what the students have been doing, because in OneNote Classroom you can see everything on students’ pages and outputs. Students made a presentation and it was evaluated by peers. The main focus was on content and how the presentation was planned. Students didn’t give written feedback and all evaluation was done orally. In OneNote Classroom pupils can`t see each others work.

How is ICT being used creatively? We should be learning different subjects by using ICT. It should become a natural part of school subjects and projects. Project provided opportunities for co-operation and possibility to use individual strengths and abilities that



otherwise had not been evident. This project also promoted autonomous learning, self-directed learning and peer-assessment skills.


Pupil involvement and mobility Students really like to use OneNote Classroom and say it`s easy to use. Students commented on final presentation and not during the process due limitations that Onenote Classroom has.

Parental/Community involvement When we started to use Classroom, students had to show parents their homework.

What makes this a successful project? OneNote Classroom is easy to use. Every subject and project can be found in the same place. Using technology was something that motivated especially boys for writing text that has been more thoroughly forethought.
