We combine traditional classroom learning and mobile learning, using ict / mobile phones.

4. But how exactly do we do that? How do we integrate these new ict methods and collaborative projects into our daily lessons / curricula? How can we share contents, methods and tools and learn from each other and cross our own borders?

PUPILS SHARE + LEARN By allowing the pupils to communicate with other pupils in Europe through use of software / ict To share and to show others online what activities they do in their own school.
