Picture 3: Videoconference using VIA soYware
The objective is to learn about how we live and then reflect on what we can do to make our lifestyle more sustainable. To do this the students use several ICT tools such as a Knowledge Forum, where they post their findings and questions which help them build their own knowledge. They also use on-line collaborative tools (Prezi) to present their findings and video conference software (VIA) to share the project results with other students.

PILE Content Language Integrated Learning Programme
Global Overview Ac0vi0es And Methodology
The objective is to learn to type correctly and efficiently helping the students develop their keyboard skills.
The students use on-line software to practice exercises. They also play typing games. The class is entirely conducted in English.
- Every day the students practice in class, usually through typing games. - Students always work with the keyboard covered by a box they built. That forces them to concentrate on using the right fingers for the right keys without looking at the keyboard. - Throughout the course 2 new keys are introduced every week. - An on-line typing test is taken every week to check students’ progress. - At the end of the course students must achieve a minimum typing speed to pass the course.
