In the context of the summer school, the community "TraIning teachers in competence based education:TRANSIt @ the Crete Summer School 2013" has been created and is available here.
The description of the activities/workshops that took place, as well as the presentations delivered during the Summer School are available in the activities area of the community, accessible here.
Participants worked individually and/or in small teams and 16 competence-based cross-curricular scenarios were uploaded in the TRANSIt workspace of Octopus tool (developed by TUC), and are available in the Educational Scenarios area of the community. Most of the scenarios apply to Social Sciences, Arts & a combination of other subject fields such as Mathematics & ICT. Some indicative ones:
• Building a Self-Organizing Learning Environment in our classroom using a Raspberry pi
• Collaboration within the ‘social’ media
• Create. Engage. Ignite!
• Hike
• Discovering the rules of addition of integer numbers
• Making Bridges
• Proposal for a training programme to the Natural History Museum
• Go Green
• Recycled music group
• Electric guitar "A musical instrument made by students"
As a starting point, each participant has been invited to come to the course with an idea, or maybe an example of existing practice, called 'initial ideas'. These ideas have been uploaded as Educational Objects on the portal. These ideas related somehow to using cross-curricular approaches fostering competences in learning and education. During the summer school these initial ideas were developed further, based on insights gained through a series of workshops. by the end of the course these ideas become 'educational scenarios' .
