Learning activity details

"Strip to Identity" is secondary school-to-school project, using comic books, comic book software, language, IT and other subjects to create a comic book collection compiled by pupils from many different countries all over Europe (and Asia). All comic books will be based on local picaresque or traditional characters.

The broader project scope is literacy, i.e. the importance of reading skills, the pleasure of reading, solutions to possible reading difficulties and eventually new opportunities to secondary school pupils to study in the interesting, inspiring and motivating environment of an Erasmus+ school partnership.

FOR TEACHERS
We are going to make our partners use Sharepoint in order to monitor a 3 year long Erasmus+ school partnership. This program is set up by our schools and is going to involve 10 other countries.

From the 4th November to the 6th of November all partners will meet in Belgium for our kick-off event.
Most of our partners are not familiar with Office 365 nor Sharepoint technology. A hand-on introduction session will learn them how to use: calenders, tasklists, document libraries,...
On the other hand we are going to teach them how to use Lync. We will be using Lync for a more direct approach on answering individual questions.

FOR PUPILS
The pupils of our school organize to event and will make a fully documented website. They are going to teach the other students how to add information on the website. Last but not least they are going to introduce the other students into the magic world of Pixton (comic book software).
