2. VALUES EDUCATION
Hi dear colleagues. Welcome to our online meeting. This
webinar is for introducing ourselves and giving some
information and details about our Project. And also we are going
to make competitions of our logos and posters for the Project.
We are going to choose the best logo and poster. We are going
to vote them via «Kahoot».
This is my first online/live event that I organized so if there is
mistake, please forgive me.
My name is İlkay ÇEKİRDEK. I am an English teacher at a high
school from Antalya / Turkey. And the other founder of the
4. VALUES EDUCATION
First of all, I should say that this Project duration is between
October and May. In our century ethic values are gaining
importance and are needed. My start point of the Project is to
raise awareness and gain exemplary behavior to our students.
So we started this Project and thanks a lot to all. Cause a lot of
colleagues were interested in our Project.
Now we are going to talk about monthly activities of the Project
Firstly last month, I mean, in October we made presentations of
school-city-country. Also created eTwinning boards and posters
of our Project. Like all other projects the first activity is this and
7. VALUES EDUCATION
The key issues of our project are Tolerance, Empathy, Amity,
Love, Respect and Sedulity. These values create difference in
human life. Values education is the most important issue in
terms of human life and happiness. In our century these values
are getting lost rapidly. In order to protect and keep alive these
values, every individual of the society has to contribute. As
educators, we should guide our students about these values. We
will teach and organize activities of values education. We will do
these activities monthly and share.
8. VALUES EDUCATION
1-Guiding students to see importance of values in education.
2- Canalizing them to act according to ethic values.
3- Raising awareness of values education.

9. VALUES EDUCATION

going to work out doing activities
about TOLERANCE Value. In this
Activity we can work in
three relationship.
Children-Teachers-Parents
11. VALUES EDUCATION
This month we and our students are going to do activities about Tolerance Value
like «DRAMA – SHORT PLAYS –
POEM – MUSIC- ART (DRAWING PICTURE – HANDCRAFTS)…
You will record your activities and share on twinspace. Meanwhile I suggest that you
should mention about «MEVLANA» in your activities. Because at the end of the
Project in the label application process we can apply to «MEVLANA PRIZE FOR
INTERCULTURAL UNDERSTANDING»,if we get European Quality Label. It is
important.
And also you can mention about «Yunus Emre, Atatürk and other national and
international well-known characters who are relevant to the values in all activities.
Also you should prepare wallboard and school bulletin in your own schools and may
be you can disseminate your activities to your local and national institutions.
12. VALUES EDUCATION
Meanwhile let me show our Project Twinspace. I think
all of you know how to use twinspace and pages.
When we want to upload images / videos / files we
will click «MATERIALS» and create our own albums
and files for our schools.
Now let’s have a look at «PAGES». I created Project
pages for you. I don’t want you to create pages for
your own schools. Instead of this I uploaded PADLETs
16. VALUES EDUCATION
Firstly you should create your own padlet for every activity. I mean each partner
creates a padlet and upload all their works about the activity and then shares
their padlet link into the main padlet that I created on the pages. For sharing
their padlet, you should double-click anywhere on the space of the main padlet,
write own name-school and city name. Then click (+) icon at the bottom of the
box that appeared when you double-click. And copy-paste your own padlet link
then one click on the space. When necessary, you can edit or delete your Works
from the right top of the box. It is OK.
Finally I say that there is only one main padlet for every activity on pages. In
main padlet there is one padlet per each partner.
You may want to do and share a lot of Works, by means of this way you can
share a lot of things on one padlet but there is no mess and pages will be tidy
and regular. At the end of the Project while our national agencies are examining
19. VALUES EDUCATION
I suggest following the «Project Journal» and
«Teacher Bulletin» and also our facebook group.
We should be in contact and keep in touch, too.
Meanwhile please don’t forget to add your
students into the Project as members.
In order to add your students you will click
«MEMBERS» and click «INVITE MEMBERS» then click
«PUPILS».
After that you will write your students’ names and
passwords and then bring these passwords to your
22. VALUES EDUCATION
You can download your students’ list and their passwords in Excel
format clicking «EXPORT INVITED PUPILS» on «MEMBERS» page.
23. VALUES EDUCATION
Now as teachers we are going to choose poster and logo for our Project. I am
going to use «KAHOOT» for this. I want you to use your mobile phone and write
Kahoot.it to your browsers then click. I am running the kahoot survey that I have
prepared before. Now you will see a PIN Code on screen. Please write this code
on your mobile phone screen and then write a nickname then enter.
Now we are waiting for all. If you are ready, I will start the survey. First we are
going to vote the posters and then logos.
Before starting, I should say the rules. You will see the pictures and partner
names on the computer screen. And also you will see «YES» and «NO» with the
geometric symbols in different colours. On your phone screen you will see only
the different coloured symbols. If you like, click «YES» and if you don’t like, click
«NO». In the end we will see the winner who gets the most «YES».
OK Let’s start.
24. VALUES EDUCATION
I would like to congratulate the winners.
I think we talked everything about the activity of this month.
Following months we are going to do meetings again for other
activities. In future we can select the best applications or Works for
each activity.
Do you have any questions? Later whenever you want, you can write
me.
Thank you very much for joining the meeting and listening to me. As
a result I would like to say that all of us hope and want to do perfect
jobs and get the European Quality Labels. I believe in that. Because
we are a good team and will do our best.
