Overview of the project
“We create our own class homepage“- www.homepage-der-4a.de.vu -
The democratic process of creating a classroom homepage during the course of this project is a part of attaining media literacy in all of its basic dimensions.
Planning and management
Background and planning process:
It is the aim to implement the computer as a tool for everyday classroom activity. Therefore, the focus should be on content while the computer is in background. A classroom homepage can be seen as a digital form of a classroom newsletter which is the result of a democratic process. In our project media literacy is being established in all of its basic dimensions.
This can be done by the training of „computer experts“ within a period of six weeks. These computer experts later assist their classmates during German lessons.
