LOGO COMPETITION RESULTS

I know it is so late to give this title but I was so bussy for the last couple of days. Before departing for Poland we had chosen the best logo in our school prepared by our students in order to use for all the project works.Actually the logo chosen in Turkey locates  several objectives from the Project theme which is mainly about internet around the world and its effectiveness on the families. It mostly focusses on the safe internet usage and by using a mouse tool, the logo shows the importance of the clicks about the World and people living on it. That's the circle represents the planet earth. In my opinion the epicenter point of the logo is the hands which works as a security guard. The hands mean the project itself.

In Poland, all the partner schools pbrought their own logos and after a competition, we have chosen the Polish School's logo as a champion. I will share the winner logo later when I receive it from Poland. WE as the partners will use that Polish logo in all our project activities and stationary papers.

SURVEY ON THE PARTNER COUNTRIES AND INTERNET

We have applied two different questionaries to the target students, app. 400 students, about the partner countries and Internet Usage in order to see what to do and how to do to be successful in expressing project aims and educating students and the community about internet and Europe in general. We are going to apply the same questionaries at the end of scheduled year (2015 June) in order to see how much we manage. We have prepared a statistics and a report so that we will be able to share our results with our partner schools during our trip to Poland at the end of October. To give a brief information about the results, I can say that the students know little about Europe although they are all familiar with internet technology. This shows that the situation is not that clean-cut. They use internet improperly and they waste their time in front of a virtual World. They are not aware of the real benefits of internet since they are mostly interested in spontaneous chattings and nonsense and harmful online games. Just few use internet as a tool to improve their knowledge and enlarge their Culture of anything valuable they are interested in.  

WE HAVE STARTED COMENIUS PROJECT ACTIVITIES...

We have started Comenius Project Activities by establishing a project corner in order to use continiously throughout the project. We have put handy information for the people who knows little about the project. We also aim to exhibit our activity reports there on the project corner. Students were so excited working on it and they were all willing. I have bought some stationary to use to create some materials for the Project Corner and the students have produced the flags, posters and some news papers in order to settle on the project board. I have appointed some students to monitor and supply the persistance of the Corner.

TWO-YEAR FOR REVISING AND IMPROVING OUR INTERNET KNOWLEDGE

My Digital Friends (MDF) is a key to succeed online selectivity, responsibility and security among the students,teachers and community.The main topic of this project is internet. This is because we use internet on a daily basis-instant messaging, posting & watching videos, gaming and networking. That’s we are actually digital citizens. The project “My Digital Friends (MDF)” is a key to supply safe, appropriate and healthy usage of internet both at school and at home. Defined project activities and outcomes will lead pupils to become conscious European citizens having responsible behavour with regard to internet use. By implementing the project, we aim to get rid of the harmful effects of internet and highlight the beneficial aspects of its.  We will mainly focus on improving internet skills by concentrating on responsibility, selectivity and safety. The project activities will be created accordingly.
In brief, the project will give plenty of opportunities to pupils to share their interests and individual works in digital media and to comment on, to communicate, to have fun and to gain information positively. The project results will be shared with Europe-wide schools thanks to our web site, e-twinning, video-conferences and pupils' blogs to promote greater understanding. This will encourage teaching, training or other learning opportunities by the help of improved internet skills among the target groups. The local societies will also benefit from the project results by joining the online surveys, exhibitions, some activities and decision-making mechanism. As a result, pupils, teachers and community will gather useful internet knowledge which will be handy for life. Most importantly, we will naturally reduce paper works by performing most of the activities online.
