No Man is an Island

Welcome: No Man is an Island
Description: Students follow a sophisticated four-level route to inclusion through the S.A.M.R. Model. They exploit Europeana Resources throughout all four levels: Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, & Redefinition which incorporate technology. The first two stages enhance learning, whereas the last two transform it opening up new possibilities. Students address all kinds of inclusion: origin, religion, disability & gender. First, they cope with technological soft skills. Then they become independent learners. They go further into designing dynamic tasks. Last, they connect their learning with the real world and acquire a growth mindset. Technology is integrated meaningfully opening new doors for learning.
