This document outlines a collaborative project between students in different countries to address littering and encourage recycling. The main goals are to educate students about littering issues and recycling, and promote a positive attitude toward environmental protection. Students will be divided into international work groups to complete tasks like organizing a recycling campaign or art competition. They will communicate online using tools like Google Docs and meet virtually to share results, which may include presentations, poems, or videos. The project connects to several areas of students' curriculum and is expected to teach participants how to recycle efficiently, work collaboratively online and across cultures, and use new digital tools. Progress and outcomes will be evaluated throughout using rubrics, surveys, and displaying student works.

StickyMoose, answergarden, on line meeting in e-twinning live or skype,
project forum)
6. SHARING RESULTS

Display of children’s works of art, photos of posters and our opinions about the
project in the blog
We use storyjumber for the tail, moviemaker for the campaign, poll-maker for
a questionnaire
We use Quizizz as initial evaluation, Tricider or Padlet for the campaing and
