BYOD Project - Through the Eye of the Camera

As part of my job as a National Counselor of English responsible for ICT and Curriculum Integration, I initiated a project in the Haifa District together with Amalia Na'ma, Inspector for English Language Education in the Haifa Region. The project was done in conjunction with the Haifa district. It invovled 6th graders and was inspired by the Haifa District online project למידה בראי המצלמה  led by Dr. Idit Avni, the person in charge in the district for integrating technology in the curriculum. 

Procedure:

Both Amalia Na'ma and I wrote the project together. Then Amalia chose ten schools from the Arab, Druze and Jewish sectors whose teachers feel comfortable with technology. Each school then was sent the instructions for the project. The regional counselors later helped the teachers in the field to materialize the project.

Description of the project:

BYOD Project in Haifa District

Students use their cellphones to take pictures of interesting places/people/or topics and write about it in their slide in Google Slides. Teachers also could use any Web 2.0 tools they thought was suitable.

Links to products of schools:

• Omar Ben Alkhattab School- Baqa - this school also used the online tool ThingLink to add another layer of information to their project.
• Tali Alona School
