<span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Modern technologies have a tremendous impact on
both modern societies and individuals, in particular young people, who are challenged
every day by the constant changes and the need to be up-to-date. Technology is
in fact a double-edged sword : we have realised that our students, and this is
a common point for all the seven schools, have a restricted vision of
Technology as they only use it for entertaining purposes (video games) or as a
mean of communication (social networks). <o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>On the one hand, this project sets out to
attempt to tie things together, since we strongly feel that school education
should provide a framework for young teenagers aged from 13 to 16 to analyse
the world - both critically and with a view on the whole world. This should
enable them to arrive at a way of conduct in this world which allows to make
their own choices while aware of the multiple benefits of using Technology in
three major fields: Environment, health care and social life & education.<o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>On the other hand, our project aims at putting
at their reach the appropriate tools to fight the dangers which these modern
technologies undoubtedly bring about (e.g. the exaggerated use of social media causing
bullying, addiction and isolation).<o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>We have designed a set of classrooms activities
connected with the current syllabus of the following academic subjects: English,
History, ICT, Ethics, Philosophy, Biology, Electrical engineering and Social
Science, to be carried out during a semester resulting in a mini-project which
every school will present to the others during the major meeting. To do this,
the students will need to improve their skills in several areas: in English as
all the presentations will be held in that language, digital competence as the
use of new technologies (computer, mobile phone apps, video-conferences,
specific software) will be constant throughout the activities. <o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>We have set the objectives according to the
needs of our students having in mind the idea of making them fit for the
future. The objective of all this is that the students develop a more balanced
attitude of looking at the blessings and challenges of modern technology <o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>

countries are undergoing the similar kinds of challenges in connection with
modern technology. The issue we are trying to address is not a national one -
it has to do with lifestyles, changes in society and economy that are of a
transnational nature.</span></b></span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10740155883835043797noreply@blogger.com0
