Feedback
Students:
1. Working with new Apps and different perspectives
2. Better competencies and Intuitive orientation
3. Cooperative, analytical skills
Teachers:
1. I intend to continue to use the approach with the 1st and 5th graders together
2. The students learn to look more closely at biological phenomena
3. In my opinion using the technology was the strongest part of the project
Media is useful and
important for social life,
the learning process
and professional
development
