  • They also underwent course of PCB soldering. Each of them made a small Christmas tree decorated with glowing light bulbs. They were given it as a nice present.
  • Assembling of the 2nd aid – unpredictably lot bulbs - was the main part of the programme. Since this product is demanding students printed its components in advance at their schools, completed it during the mobility and successfully finished.
  • Another team was working on the electronic dictionary based on the programme Android. They recorded pronunciation of chosen words and finished their job.

  • Teachers informally exchanged methodical approaches to IT teaching.
  • Coordinators evaluated previous periods, said the project tasks were fulfilled. They planned the following phase and the mobility in Pardubice where all made aids will be given to children in sanatorium Hamzová.

The last day were all aids displayed – not only those made during the mobility but also in schools between mobility. SL team created electronic labyrinth controlled by legs of children sitting on a chair, electronic obstacle course to practise hand, labyrinth for one hand children and a speaking hand for the def. SW made a labyrinth practising movement of hands. CZ electronic aid with unpredictably lit bulbs. Electronic speaking dictionary was highly evaluated. Its programme Android enables to use it as the mobile application.

ACTIVITIES MADE ABOVE DEMANDS:

  • Host arranged a day trip to Slovakia Nationak park. Everyone was impressed by beauties of mountains and the cave Domica decorated with wonderful dripstones. Guests also enjoyed treasures of the castle Betliar.
  • Great surprise was a stunning dancing performance of the local students folk ensemble. Some volunteers tried to join the dancers but it was too difficult – these dances need a long practice
  • Since the mobility was held at the time of St. Nicholas, hosts invited one with devils and angels. This was very amusing, notably for Swedes who do not keep this tradition.

CONCLUSION

The programme was prepared and realized on a very high level. Project tasks were not only completed but few aids, activities were made beyond the plan.

Participants improved their professional knowledge and skills, learned a lot about their countries, Slovak culture, natural beauties.

Teachers agreed that mobility, collaboration is inspiring, highly motivating for both students and teachers. Students are interested in the project so much that they were working in school until it was locked. They started thinking about aids above the plan.
