Project Description Brief description of the project and the background. What are the stated objectives and learning outcomes? Is the learning activity long-term? Does it call on students to plan their work and assess their work over time? Please add background information files if needed. See how to embed documents in notes. VCT should be a max of 5MB. Please add additional documents as “supporting sesources” in your Learning Activity. Design of the Learning Environment Examples of planning (e.g. pedagogic approach, links to resources used). Please highlight creativity and innovative teaching practices. Emphasize to what extent the planning for learning facilitates the development of different dimensions of 21st century skills e.g. knowledge building, use of ICT for learning, problem-solving and innovation, self-regulation, collaboration and skilled communication. In recent years, the human suffering of the disease due to increased pollution levels, and the impact on human health and injury to many diseases. Air pollution and food and water and soil, and the most serious soil contamination by chemicals and the human in the end. The green school project to attract students ' attention and change their minds about international issues and how to resolve this problem by students and ideas using technology and search engines know more about this problem, the students visited the EEAA to understand what is pollution and its types and risks. And the role of students in environmental awareness and spread in the green areas in the school and outside the school and already has prepared an awareness campaign and a cooperative workshop between students, and already the project has been set up within the school and is a green school project. pedagogic approach : During the project, students searched with a teacher to new sources of knowledge building in the mind of the students, a search on the Internet with the computer teacher and teacher science, and cooperation with the members of the EEAA to complete their work and activities. And the use of technology tools, and the project included 21st century skills in learning, for example, building knowledge, problem solving, use of information technology and communication, cooperation, self-regulation and communication skill.

Evidence of Learning Examples of products and outcomes created by the learners throughout the project – including use of ICT. What sort of ICT is used and how has it been used in the project. To what extent do students use ICT in ways that support knowledge building, collaboration, or learning beyond the classroom? Does ICT use enable new knowledge- building/collaboration/learning beyond the classroom opportunities that would not have been possible without it? Have digital tools been used in imaginative and ground-breaking ways to support learning processes? Please add files, videos etc. which documents clearly the learning process and evidence of students’ learning Video Soil Pollution Album R_DzMp1cg5A&ithint=file%2cpptx Student’s Song ( our school is green ) PLI&ithint=file%2cwav Green School Album &ithint=file%2cpptx Brochure SI&ithint=file%2cpub Kodu game nt=file%2cKodu

Knowledge Building & Critical Thinking Examples of how the learning activities require students to move beyond reproducing what they have learned to building knowledge through interpretation, analysis, synthesis, or evaluation. Extended Learning Beyond the Classroom If the learning experience is not bound by classroom walls, time-frame of conventional lessons, subject parameters – please show examples of this. If the project addresses real world issues (i.e. authentic situation and data from outside the classroom) or has meaningful impact on communities locally and / or globally please show examples of this. Students use knowledge building searching for information and analysis, and what is the solution to avoid this problem, which has become a threat to our lives. And help them more in this knowledge, visit attended the EEAA and also visit the plant, where the link between information in the minds of students and thinking to solve the problem with each other and deploy them to their friends at school through the awareness campaign. Then students began using the methodology of critical thinking, began themselves to their role in the pollution that occurs, and bad habits that they do unconsciously, and bad habits that occur in society and lead to a threat to the environment. Then turned negative to positive actions, the awareness campaign on school green school and increasing the green areas in the school district and the outside community. water & soil pollution laboratory Visit the EEAA The learning experience is not bound by the walls of the classroom. And not in a time frame of traditional lessons. Attend student Symposium of environmental conservation in EEAA, and also visit the laboratory measuring ratios of pollution. Student use of the Internet from any location to collect images of pollution. Preparation of green crowns at the home of each student. Awareness campaign on the green school in the school yard. ( The project addresses a global issue and is the contamination of soil and a lack of green spaces.) The project has a positive impact on the school and the outside community: Speaking students with their parents for green school project. One of the parents, and his job agricultural engineer, provided the types of plants for the students. Students ' feeling of responsibility towards plant care. The students planted some small trees outside the school. Student interest increase of green space in their homes, and care of some plants and flowers. The consent of parents of students out to visit the EEAA, and then provide them with the tools to participate in the project. The project left a positive impact on students and parents of the participants.

Collaboration Examples of how the students work with other people, sharing responsibility while making substantive decisions for developing a joint product, a design, or an answer to a complex question. Students may be collaborating with their peers in the classroom, or with students or adults outside the classroom Cutting Edge Use of Technology for Learning The learning activity involves students’ use of ICT – whether or not the use of ICT helps students build knowledge/collaborate or learn beyond the classroom, and whether or not students could build the same knowledge/ collaborate or learn beyond the classroom in similar ways without using ICT - Students collaborate together to: collect images, collect videos, design a presentation, create a brochure &Purchase of plants and flowers, Assembly tools required. - Choose sentences and words that you write in the paper in green school campaign - Choose the student responsible for photographing them during the performance of the activity. - Choose some photos to use in Movie Maker - Choose a song suitable for the activity and the subject of the project idea - Design album to visit the EEAA, and albums for pollution, and another album of student performance within the project. Student’s work nE&ithint=file%2cdocx 4&ithint=file%2crar Educational activity included the use of many tools and software technology, Microsoft and free sources available on And one of the most important use of technology tools that help them build knowledge and collaboration: MS Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, Bing, Windows Movie Maker, Facebook, Picasa, Microsoft Research AutoCollage, Kodu Game, Songsmith,Photoshop.

Educator as Innovator and Change Agent In environments where innovative teaching is challenging, have innovative teaching practices and ICT been used in instrumental ways to change how students learn. Does the educator demonstrate evidence of continuous improvement in their professional practice, model lifelong learning and exhibit leadership in their school and professional community by supporting other educator’s development and understanding of the impact on learning of the effective use of digital technologies? The teacher used in this project, many of the innovative teaching methods away from traditional ways that make the learning process boring. The beginning of the implementation of the project until the end, student learning and discovery is not dependent on the teacher alone or book only. And common sense between the teacher and students that there is a real problem in our lives, a problem afflicting many countries. Students used a variety of sources and use of the Internet as a tool to help them to get ideas and information that will help them in the performance of tasks. The teacher focused on the implementation of this project with the students, to be outside the classroom, there were many places of work, including the school yard, EEAA, computer lab, planting trees in front of the school. And work in groups in the classroom during the workshop to prepare for the awareness campaign.
