Ayşe and Zuhal are close friends. They work on a Project. Their topic is quite interesting.They choose ‘sea animals’ as topic. Zuhal is trying to do the research without technology while Ayşe is doing with technological devices.  Zuhal thinks on how to make the research.

Ayşe knows without technology it is hard to search for sea animals. She finds pictures, videos and lots of information on the Net. Meanwhile Zuhal struggles with printed books, encyclopedias and so on. She hardly finds information about sea animals. While she thinks about doing the research in a different way, an idea comes to her mind! 

 Zuhal decides to go to seaside and get information from fishermen. 

After  visited the fishermen, Zuhal stics the photos from seaside on a paper and  writes knowledge about them. Then, Zuhal goes to Ayşe to share her wonderful paper.

LEARNING AND CREATIVITY

Afonso and Maria are very bored with typical learning techniques. They tell their teacher, Mrs Son, that they are bored with writing reading, memorising in each unit and they want some other ways to learn. Besides While Maria can learn Afonso cannot learn. Mrs Son tells them to search creative ways of learning so they start to search.   (eli.ata/ Ebru Apaydın)

Afonso finds a site that teaches anything with games and songs. The teacher on that site teaches the unit topics via songs using technology. She also reinforces the topics with online games. It also includes videos. Maria searches for web 2.0 tools to integrate technology with lessons. She encounters an interesting web 2.0 tool. (Kevser2/AynurKORKMAZ)

The web that Maria has found consists of some new methods to learn topics in an easier way. So they talk between themselves about which website was better: Afonso´s one or Maria´s one. They finished choosing the web of Afonso because the songs were funny and the games were interesting so they told the teacher about it and she said that it was very helpful and she was going to present the web to the whole class.(Emma,Xurde/Isa)

The class loved the website. Then, they wanted to make their songs and games. They wanted to start with songs. They decided to make "The Kitchen" 

unit's song.

(Efe/Gülfidan Teacher)

 Now it was game time. They started researching sites for online games and discovered many online game creation sites such as Kahoot, Quiziz, LearningApps, Cram, Wordwall, Educaplay. (Kıraç - Gülname Kayhan)

Then, they prepared  a game about "the Kitchen " unit. In the game there were words and pictures about the kitchen unit and the game was a matching game. Their friends in the class liked it and they learned all the words about the kitchen unit. (Ayşenur-Züleyha teacher)

Alfonso and Maria played the game with all classmates and it was fun. They borrowed it to other classes. They liked it too. They shared the results on the internet. (Robert and Pavel, Teacher Nikola)

 After they share it on the net many students and teachers write comments and ask for more information about it. Their shairing becomes so popular that Alfonso and Maria decide to  held an online meeting for students and teachers. The meeting goes great.Everyone enjoys web2 tools and they decide to use them in lesoons more and more to foster creativity. (Lala and Yusif/ Sabina Eminova)

MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY

Kevser opens computer and writes to search engine ‘ positive and negative effects on media literacy’. She needs to talk online to Mateo, her international and now school friend at the project in two hours. But she couldn’t find trusted information. After some search she can’t trust the information she finds and when she is about to close, her mum enters room and she suggests to have a look at an article website.

Her mum tells her to double check the information she finds on the Internet. One shouldn’t trust every site and should get information from media and information reliable sites. Kevser wonders how to find safe and reliable sites. Her mum suggests her checking the domain name,searching for additional information to back up what she finds. And she adds…

If every homework you do, If you don't research and prepare from several sources, the assignment you shared will be completely wrong. You also give your friends wrong information about the subject you are researching. 

 Also, Mateo  starts to search  reliable websites. Then, he finds a few and talks online with  Kevser about  websites' reliability.

 One day  Mateo goes on to find a presentation about the environment, he opens the first link he sees and downloads it and he got a virus so he called Kevser to help him.

 Kevser came to Mateo's house and helped him remove the virus from his PC from then Mateo learned not to immediately download anything he sees but first confirm it’s not harmful. 

Then Kevser and Mateo decide to inform their schoolmates  who are playing online games or watching endless videos about the danger coming from the internet. They said them process, analyse and make good decisions before using some sites. And that media and information literacy can help them develop those skills.

They gave more information about media literacy to their friends on the following subjects:
Recognizing Fake News, Using Multiple Sources, Questioning Numbers and Figures, Developing Multimedia Skills, Shaping the Media Ourselves etc.

ETHICS AND EMPATHY

Madina and Tereza are close friends and they are working on a project about ethics and empathy on digital world. Madına gives importance ethics when she is online and Tereza pays attention feelings of others when she is online. They want to inform other students about these subjects. How can they do this and what do they experience, let's imagine and write.

Medina and Tereza are working on a Project on digital world.First of all, they think  about what they will do. After some discussions, they decide to make a poster. The topic of poster is ‘how to be emphatic and ethic in digital world’. They add some pictures then they don’t like and decide to change. Then put a note . It is for those who want to join. (by kay.ata/ Ebru APAYDIN)

In this note it is written something eye-popping. It is “If you are emphatic and ethic in the digital world, you are sympathetic”. They also decide to add some pictures to attract people’s attention.With the help of this poster, all the students become curious about what being emphatic and ethic in the digital world is. Within all these curiosity, Madina and Teresa prepare a presentation.(Medine/AynurKORKMAZ)

After one week they finished the presentation, the next day they would present it in class, so the morning of the presentation ,they were ready and they went to school, the other students were curious about the Tereza and Medina's presentation, but one of the students called Rodrigo asked where they had brought the presentation, so they remembered that they had forgotten the USB in Tereza's home, they got scared and the teacher arrived at class, when it was their turn, the teacher said: "I have high hopes on your presentation", Medina and Tereza were nervious so they thought a plan in order not to be punished by  the teacher, so Tereza pretended that she was sick, the teacher called Tereza's home, and their parents said that in the morning Tereza wasn't sick

(Maialen and Lucas/Isabel)

The teacher was surprised, she wanted to speak with Tereza again. The teacher asked about the presentation, Tereza was a bit ashamed. (Abdullah)

 Then,  Tereza admited that they had forgotten the USB at the home and apologized to their teacher. Medina was very sad from Tereza's behaviour because it wasn't  ethics. So she apologised to their teacher.(Ceylin-Züleyha teacher)

Eventually Medina and Tereza woke up and they had just a bad dream. Before they woke up they went play Poker and lost all their money. And after poker they woke up and this all was just bad nightmare.(Marian,Jarda)

 After all, the presentation day came and the friends introduce their poster presentation. All their classmates said that they didn't know anything about it. So their teacher asked the rest of the students to create an infographic about ethics and empathy working in groups. And she divided them into 4 groups. Then everything began ...  (Khadija and Omer/ Sabina Eminova) 

 The teacher gave certain titles to all 4 groups to study. These :
respect other's privacy; be kind; avoid personal attacks; and don't use electronic devices while engaging in face-to-face interaction. (Neşe- Gülname Kayhan)

HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

Poyraz and Zulal are close friends, they would like to search about effects of using technology on people's health. They want to warn people and their friends about disadvantages of technology. Let's write a story of a technology addicted person's health and his/her experiences.

This is Poyraz and his close friend Zulal. Today Zulal’s mother goes to hospital and they talk about her because Zulal is anxious about her mum and cannot concentrate  on term homework. Poyraz is very sad for his friend but they have to hand in the project in a week but they couldn’t even find a topic. Poyraz asks what is wrong with Zulal’s mum. She answers she has serious backache because she has to sit and work with computer all day. Poyraz comes with an idea and offers to have the term Project on disadvantages of technology. She agrees for sure. (nur.ata/ Ebru APAYDIN)

They begin to search for the disadvantages of technology. They recognize that there are so many of them. For example, it increases dependency on technology, the security risk in online platforms, health problems, etc. Poyraz suggests shooting short videos about these problems and gathering all of them in a video. Zulal likes the idea.( Kevser2/AynurKORKMAZ)

Poyraz and Zulal start working very hard. They start doing a powerpoint, but suddenly someone hacks them. Poyraz and Zulal lose all their work, but they ... (Daniel and Mateo/ Isabel)

 don't give up working on their presentation video. They start to search about health problems caused by using technology and internet too much. (Buğra-Gülfidan teacher)

 Then they prepare their presentation and share . On the other hand, they take precautions not to be hacked.(Zeynep Sare-Züleyha teacher)

Poyraz and Zulal explain their presentation to their classmates. Zulal's mother is the protagonist of her presentations. She explained spending too much time  working with the internet, cause serious health problems in her health. She talks about the bad effect of internet addiction on human health. (Poyraz.Ülkü /Ülkü teacher)

Taking into consideration her mother's words Zulal decides to search more about disadvantages of technology. She finds out that today’s over-usage of sounds and images has other effects on children and young people’s well-being too. It can  delay development of certain motor co-ordination skills. (Shahrizad/ Sabina Eminova)

As Zülal deepened her research, she began to find quite striking things. One of them is this: excessive use of technology causes impairment in social and communication skills. She immediately thought of a few friends in her class who were tech addicts and had hardly spoken to in a long time, and she felt very sorry for them. This issue was more serious than she thought.

Nikolas and Liviu are very close friends but they are very away from each other. Liviu’s family needed to move to another country for work suddenly. Before saying goodbye they talk on how to communicate.

Because of the distance between them, they eliminate face-to-face communication. Talking on the phone, texting and making video calls are the first things that come to their minds. Then, Nikolas comes with an idea, sending  fun emails to each other can also be an option. Liviu likes the idea and wants to add something to it in the name of learning while having fun.

They start sending funny emails, but with the time they get bored, they think that the best option was chating on their mobile phones, Livius start

ACTIVE PARTICIPATION

Nehir and Daniela are close friends and working on a project about active participation on the net. People should be careful while writing a comment, posting a photo or sharing something on the net. Let's help them to write a story about this subject.

Nehir and Daniel’S English teacher gave them a term work on participation. That is a part of their eTwinning work. After school they become together and start to talk on how to do. (rcceu.ata/ Ebru Apaydın)

Before starting to prepare their work, they search for the term “active participation in the digital world”. They find out that it is something about empowering individuals in the activities and relationships of everyday life leading to them living as independently as possible and also in the digital world. They decide to conduct a survey about what people know about it and how they take part in. (Zeynep/AynuKORKMAZ)

 Nehir and Daniel start to write the survey of participation in digital world, at first everything is normal, but then strange things start to happen, the words start to disappear and in one moment they get tiny and they enter into the work.(Olai.D and Miguel/ Isabel)

 They can't understand what happens. They try to solve the problem. First they ask their teacher about what to do. (İrem)

But they are too small that they can not make their teachers heard. To make their voices heard, they try to send messages from their smartphones. The phone is too big for them. However, they wrote to their teachers that "they didn't know what to do because they suddenly got smaller while they were preparing the assignment". (Fatma.Ülkü / Ülkü teacher)

 Then, they realize that it was a dream because they fell asleep while preparing the survey. When they wake up, they complete the survey of participation in the digital world. (Büşra- Züleyha teacher)

On 23rd June 2023 Nehir and Daniel were chatting online for fun and Nehir said “I am bored of online shooters why dont we just play something like Paintball” and Daniel said “Nah Paintball is lame and unrealistic,lets try Airsoft” so they created a team and bought everything they need.On Saturday 8:30AM they played their first game waiting for their friend to pick them up from their local bus station.20 minutes later they arrived on their local Airsoft CQB field,then the referee starts to speak to all of them,saying rules etc… 10 minutes later the first game starts and Nehir and Daniel starts assault on small house.They threw granade and eliminated 3 enemies and rush in the building,full-auto was allowed so they sprayed enemies with bb´s within 16 seconds.Building was cleaned from enemies thanks to team work with 0 losses for friendly team and 5 losses for enemy team. (Vojta,Vilík)

 After having fun they have a talk about how it was interesting to play together and discussed an idea to engage their friends from other countries. Of course it wasn't possible off line. They came to the conclusion to create an activity where all their foreign friends can take part in. Daniel said that it was important to inform their friends about active participation. Because can also be useful in their personal development (Deniz/Sabina Eminova) They listed the points that they should pay attention to while giving information:

- Users must weigh the benefits and risks of speaking their mind, sharing their opinions and putting their views on display.

- However, users have the right to freely express those opinions and views as long as they are not harming someone else's rights and freedoms.(Nehir- Gülname Kayhan)

PRIVACY AND SECURITY

İrem and Anet are looking for information on privacy and security for a brochure they need to prepare for e Safety Day. İrem finds information on changing passwords , adding numbers, low and big case letters. She decides to add these notes. However, she can’t continue because of a cookies alert on her screen.

(Esl.ata/Ebru Apaydın)

As these cookies distract her attention, she decides to turn them off, but she doesn’t know how to do it. She asks Anet about it. Anet clicks on privacy and security settings, then on cookies settings and turns them off. And now it is time to go on preparing the brochure! (Medine/AynurKORKMAZ)

 Then they continue changing the username, they use a lot of numbers and letters and a dot. The page tells them that the name is in use, so they change it and they write something like IremAnet45321897_pol. It doesn't work, it is very long, they have to use another username, it is going to  be Cookies.off/on, but they cannot use this username, it is inappropriate for the website. They get fed up with changing the username.

 So they write Ianet, it isn't useful, so they go back and change the website, on the other website they write IremAnet.12365 and finally  it is fine. So they start searching information for their school project. (Llara and Maria/ Isabel)

The project is about privacy and security. They create a digital brochure. They mention important rules about privacy and security. The rules are:..... (İrem-Gülfidan teacher)

 - Choose strong passwords 

- Keep your privacy settings on 

- Make sure your Internet connection is secure, etc..

(Müberra and Hira- Züleyha teacher)

 One day İrem and Anet go on Google to watch a video about how to learn Maths better. When they open the 5th link, they see the name “Learn Maths In 3 Minutes”. They are hopeful they will finally be masters of maths. But when they open the link, it isn't on YouTube, but on some different site. The site asks them to log in to watch the video and takes their data and, of course, they press 'Yes' in a hurry. Later that day they realize that someone else is on their account and they immediately delete their account on this untrusful site and learn not to go on untrustful sites ever again.(Anet,Lukáš)

They will never forget the important lesson they've learnt about privacy and security.

CONSUMER AWARENESS

Melek and Rustam are close friends, they want to do online shopping. What should they pay attention, let's write a story and help them.

Melek and Rustam search for some online shopping sites. Melek wants to buy baagy pants but she doesn’t want to pay a lot. They search for safe sites and decide on a  list of sites. On one of them, she writes the size and colour of pants. (kay.ata/Ebru APAYDIN)

Rustam reminds her how much water is wasted for one pair of trousers. She thanks Rustam for this awareness. Melek thinks about her pants at home but decides she needs a new one. While looking at the pants in the color and size she looks for, an idea comes to her mind. (Melek /AynurKORKMAZ)

When they try to pay for the pants, a problem occurs, they can't understand what happens on page. (Abdullah-Gülfidan teacher)

 When they try to pay for the pants, out of stock warning come. Now they don't know what to do.( Berra- Züleyha teacher)

 Melek and Rustam reported to "şikayet.com" that the page on the site gave false and misleading information and that they were scammer. (Poyraz.Ülkü / Ülkü teacher)

At that time their computer crashed and they slowly started losing their money. But Rustam reacted quickly and unplugged the computer, so they still had money left. They promised themselves that they would no longer shop on dubious sites. Jeans bought expensive, but on verified sites. (Terka,Ksenija)

They told about their experience to their Rustam's mother. She thought for a while and then said: "Don't you know that when making a purchase and before giving out private data, you should check for the locked padlock symbol that shows up in the toolbar. This is a sign that your transaction is taking place over a secure connection." Melek asked : " What do you mean?" Rustam's mother said : "It means before making online transactions, check that the URL includes “https”; the “s” stands for “secure” in the Hypertext Transfer  Protocol and authenticates the website and the associated web, which protects against man-in-the-middle attacks."  (Rustam / Sabina Eminova)

Melek and Rustam were very surprised, it was the first time they had heard of such a thing. They decided to tell their friends about this experience and what they learned from Rustam's mother and warn them. For this, they bought colorful papers and started to prepare poster.(Defne- Gülname Kayhan)
