Research It was conducted in two ways A more general research with a pre-test and a post-test (to check the overall impact of SIFA) A smaller scale research before and after each meeting (concerning each one of the 5 major problems/topics related to internet use: addiction, health, safety, security, ethics) Intellectual output and tool for internal evaluation An important product of SIFA was the Research that was conducted in two ways. A more general research with a pre-test and a Post-test and a smaller scale research before and after each meeting. It served as an intellectual output that is beyond plagiarism and upgrades the quality of the results, but it also served as a tool for internal evaluation. The following research questions were dealt with (concerning 5 major problems/topics related to internet use):

Research Questions The following research questions were dealt with (concerning 5 major problems/topics related to internet use addiction, health, safety, security, ethics): 1st: Do students know what every problem (topic) is about? 2nd: Have students experienced such problems? 3nd: Do students know how to handle such situations?

Example of T-test Results The average overall score of answers students gave about how to deal with “Internet Addiction” problems after SIFA activities (Μ=0,4113, SD=0,1776 ) is much more (differs greatly) (t=-2,322, df=194, 2- tailed p=0,021<0,05) than the average overall score of answers students gave before SIFA activities (Μ=0,3682, SD=0,1431 )

Example of T-test Results

Example of Results after meeting in Austria (about Internet Addiction) After SIFA activities: Students give better answers about how to act when confronted with “Internet Addiction” More will talk to their friends about it More will ask for advice from teachers/parents Students give better answers about how to deal with “Internet Addiction” More will try to figure out the causes More will ask for professional advice

Management Issues We Followed: Rules and guidelines given by the Greek NA What we had promised in the application We knew that the kick off meeting was the most important Rules, Research questions, cultural differences We tried to be flexible We monitored activities (several tools)

Internal Progress Reports

Evaluation: SWOT analysis (shared doc)

Lessons Learned Involving teachers and students How to cooperate better (web2.0, cloud services, shared docs, etc) Management issues (Kickoff meeting, monitoring) How to overcome difficulties (Culture, Stereotypes) The importance of issues handled during the project Lack of consistency

Problems that occurred - Differences Delayed start of the project Lack of consistency Differences in Culture Matters related to Internet Use (penetration, ways of use) Hosting students Involvement of school community and parents
