The first Erasmus+ project implemented by our school was High School High Tech Scoala Viitorului from the 1st of August 2014 till the 31st of July 2016. This KA1 project in the field of school education was an unique opportunity for 9 teachers to participate to a structured course abroad.
“Edmond Nicolau” Technical High School adapts its curriculum to the development of the educational strategies in Romania by the introduction of the tablet in the teaching-learning process.
With this in view, the teachers’ professional training involves developing digital skills to use the new communication technologies, computer, tablet, iPad in lesson planning, in cross-curricular activities, in preparing students for competitions, contests, national exams.
The training course was TAP-SWIPE-PINCH. ANDROID, IPADS AND WINDOWS TABLETS CHANGING THE WAY TO TEACH AND LEARN which is organized by Euneos, a Finland Company promoting the use of educational ICT helping teachers and schools to manage their educational projects online. There were four training sessions held in Benalmadena , Fuengirola and Barcelona (Spain) in October 2014, March and November 2015, April 2016.
The aims of the project:
-Gabriel Mihail Danielescu, headmaster and teacher of technical subjects
-Paula Cristina Popescu, teacher of French
-Doina Boboc, teacher of English
-Andreea Sandulescu, teacher of Chemistry
-Madalina Alexandru, teacher of Physics
-Centa Mariana Ravas, teacher of Mathematics & IT
-Silviu Daniel Brebulet, teacher of Psychology & school consellor
-Sandel Agache, teacher of technical subjects.
They prepare students for the baccalaureate exam and need to:
- create interactive exercises, adapt video and audio files to produce and understand written and oral
messages, use blogs for creative activities, make media presentations on culture and civilization topics
- simulate physics experiments, chemical reactions and anatomic models
- introduce the tablet in mecatronics, computer science and computer-aided design, use Android operating systems to prototype hardware and software robots
- use mathematical software to solve problems and exercises, to prove theorems.
Teachers need to be subject matter experts but they must become experts in the 21st century skills too:

Teachers like Class Blog for several good reasons:
- Classroom Management: it's easy to create and update, very useful to inform students, parents & other teachers, what teachers have done, what they’re doing & what you are going to do. Students and teachers can post handouts, notices, and homework, share educational resources and thoughts, collaborative work
- Collaboration, working together: Students can work together in or out of the classroom. Online “mentoring” is possible -A class of older students can help a class of younger students develop writing skills, for example. Projects require teamwork for research, ideas, feedback
- Discussions: A class blog encourages students to discuss topics outside of the classroom. Students can share their thoughts, while also making comments on their classmates comments
- Students Progress: Blogs are organized by date, which enables you to track student’s progress from the beginning of term to the end
