To do in this meetingTo do in this meetingDuring this meeting we have to decide:• how many on line courses are going to start• their topics• the involved teachers

Moreover we have to decide some interesting topics for the Forums in the Common Room of our website


How many coursesHow many courses

• In my opinion we have to prepare 2 or, at most, 3 on line courses• They will start within November• We’ll evaluate their development during the meeting in Iraklion (12 – 19 January 2007)


Structure of an on line courseStructure of an on line course• Each course will be carried out in a specific room of the website• The teacher(s) in charge for the course (staff) will manage the room by:

• uploading lessons, • opening forums, • proposing topics in the forums• answering to the questions of the pupils

• A final evaluation test will be proposed at the end of the course


Topics of the on line coursesTopics of the on line courses• Andreas Tsepapadakis (Tsepan) is preparing the course “Logic of algorithms”. At the moment it is visible in the site in staff mode only.

• Ludovica Battista (Ludus) intend to propose a course about PHP. Because the knowledge of HTML is a prerequisite for PHP, we could start a repetition of HTML course immediately, starting the PHP course in January


Other topicsOther topics

• English?

• Physics?

We are waiting for proposals (from the students too!)


Forums in the Common RoomForums in the Common RoomAt this moment in the Common Room of the website are open 3 forums:• General discussion (101 posts)• Meeting in Fano (3 posts)• Coffee break (9 posts)

It’s necessary to open other forums about more specific topics. Because the activity in the forum is carried out by pupils, the better thing is that the pupils themselves propose the new topics.
