Rapid SWOT analysis
A very warm hello from Italy Sorry I can’t be with
you! (Old bones take a long time to mend!!)
Marcel will take over…. verycompetently !
Thanks also to Elisa for substituting me!
Have a wonderfulweek together!!
Compilation of Final Report
Our National Agencies won’t upload the Final
Report until June. However, we should
consider now what we have to write.
After watching the explanation of parts that
we have to submit, could you please send
me a list of the OUTCOMES (RESULTS &
PRODUCTS) from each country?
Please discuss the interpretation of terms:
results, products, activities, etc.
Section E.2 OUTCOMES - RESULTS
OUTCOMES = RESULTS + PRODUCTS RESULTS = EVENTS = seminars, workshops, local events, laboratories
All four work meetings are events e.g. of a seminar
Lithuanian geologist SimonasSaarmann Ph.D from the Dept. of Geology & Mineralogy,VilniusUniversity presented a series of interactive lectures entitled«Principles of Geology», «Shapingthe Earth» and «Geotourism» to allparticipating partners.
e.g. of a workshop
The Polish school orgainised a
hands-on workshop for all
participating countries entitled
«In search of agates». It
involved a geological guided
walk, the search for agates and
the subsequent cutting and
polishing of the stones.
e.g. of a local event
The Italian school organised an
excursion in loco to the
magnetite mines of Cogne.
Section E.2 OUTCOMES-PRODUCTS
PRODUCTS = publications, websites, blogs,
forums, magazine, logos,
hand made products,
assignments, papers, etc.
produced together with
other partners or by an
individual school.
EXAMPLES =
The Wikispace
The logo
Didactic tools (work
sheets, Powerpoint
presentations, films,
lesson plans)
Questionnaires
Wikiloc maps
Section F2: PARTNERSHIP ACTIVITIES: DEFINITION
This means a description of all activities carriedout locally and abroad to reach the results thatwe outlined in E.2 (outcomes)
e.g. What kind of preparatory activity wasorganised with staff and students in order to create a website, a magazine, a questionnaire, an exhibition, etc.?
What didactic activities were organised duringthe project meetings?
Tutoring of pupils by teachers from othercountries
Collaboration between teachers and pupilsfrom different countries
Section F.2
PARTNERSHIP ACTIVITIES: EXAMPLES
The Lithuanian school established a collaboration with the Universityof Vilnius, whose member of staff, Dr. Saarmann, acted asgeological expert and advisor throughout the project. He prepareddidactic material and hands-on activities which can be re-used in any teaching environment
The Polish school made contact with an organiser and promoter of geotourism, whose farm holidays include the searching for, cuttingand polishing of agates. The process was recorded by pupils so they can explain it to peers.
The Italian school (as well as most partners) organised an excursionto a nearby mine, learned about methods of extraction, interviewed a miner whose story showed what mining was like in the past and researched the necessary facts(accommodation/transport) in order to illustrate an itinerary of economic geotourism in the area.
European Shared Treasure: EST New ResultLithuania: A collection of idiomsreferring to stones, rocks and minerals.
Slovakia: didactic material and lesson plans
Spain: An environmental camp in Tremp.
A theatrical performance in Catalan (subtitled in English) on the founding of their town, Igualada.
France: Didactic dvds «On the roots of mountains», «Landcapesof central Var»
New Joint ResultThe Wikispace
The logo
The Wikiloc trails
Rock & mineral collections
I.D card of rocks sampled
Geotourism guides
Earthcache lessons
Geotourism guides & Earthcache lessons
Geotourismguides/itineraries.
Italy will be responsible for these, as I think they will be an excellentoutcome/product. There will be at least one for each country. The guide (PDF ) will contain a link to the Wikiloc map, with indicationsof cheap accommodation and transport to the site, a didacticdescription of rocks/mineralsfound there with (preferably) a work sheet that a geotourist couldcomplete. However, I need youto complete the parts of the Wikispace so I have all the information.
Earthcache lessonsAnother excellent outcome!!
Italy has already submitted an
Earthcache lesson to the
Geological Society of America,
but hasn’t had a reply yet. If
another country wishes to do
so, there are guidelines in
many languages.
TASKS TO COMPLETE BEFORE 31/07/2015 and
delegation of tasks among partners
Although the deadline isSeptember, I think it’s best to submit our Final Reports earlier, so that we can remember everything wedid.
Every partner has to look atthe Wikispace, at the drop-down menu, and fill in the parts that are missing. For example, the page dedicated to «geologicalheritage» is incomplete. Every school must add 2 rocks and 2 minerals, with a brief description.
I would like to ask each of you to be responsible for the completion of one or two sections of the Wikispace. I hope youagree.
It’s not necessary thateach partner contributesto every section of the project Wikispace, but it isrecommended that asmany activities and outcomes as possible are completed.
SilviyaThanks for all yourcontributions…. the idioms, your pupils’ film of Iceland and the video lesson of senoirstudents teaching the younger ones, «A geography lesson».
https://letstonesspeak.wikispaces.com/Video Fantastic!!!
Requests
Could you please move the video from «Movies» to «Teaching aspiring geologists»?
Could you also upload the Powerpoint that your studentsshowed? And any work sheetsor teaching aids they used with the younger pupils?
Could you encourage some other partners to plan and film a similar lesson with anotherclass in their school or a schoolnearby as a peer –teaching/ peer-learning experiment?
Violetta
Thanks for your
great contributions
to «Stones in
cultural heritage»
and above all your
tracks and
descriptions on
«Geotourism and
Wikiloc»
RequestsCould you please make surethat every partner uploads atleast one track with a description of its geologicalvalue, some information about cheap accomodationnear and transport to the site, including prices? Partners who have alreadyuploaded trails, please checkthat you have includedtransport & accommodationdetails and prices.
Eva
Thanks for
everything you do
to make the
project work!
Could you please askour partners to choose a man-made, historicallyimportant building, which is near to a geological site (previously registered on Wikiloc), and upload an image and a description about it?

Ulfur
Thanks for the
greatest project
meeting
experience!
Your country, albeit
a bit cool, is a
treasure chest of
natural, awe-
inspiring wonders!!
Request
Given that yourstudents are talentedand inventive, couldyou please ask them to update the section «A day in the life of…..» by asking all the pupilspresent at the meeting in France to pass on their material to upload to our projectWikispace.
JanTogether with Sylvija, Janhas read the applicationform and follows the rules. He has contributed to every section!
Thanks a million for all the didactic material that youhave uploaded. I hopepartners are takingadvantage of its usefulnessin class.
https://letstonesspeak.wikispaces.com/Didactic+tools
Could you please encouragepartners to organise an excursionto a local mine and upload theirfindings? If they have trouble with Wikiloc, can you give them a hand?
I think we need to have more examples of «monitoring». Pupilsshould do your aptitude test «Geology, ICT and Culture quiz» again so we can compare resultswith their initial attempts.
It’s necesary to have some feedback from colleagues and parents regarding their opinion of the impact of Comenius. I’llprepare a «survey monkey» but ithas to be translated into the local language.
Marcel
Thanks for the
language portfolio
(excellent!!), the
theatrical
performance
«Aqualata’s
Legend» and your
Catalan
determination!
Could you please
ensure that all
partners complete
the page on
«geological
heritage» with a
description of 2
rocks and 2
minerals?
Extra homework Could each school
that has hosted a project meeting (Lithuania, Poland, Iceland & France) please upload theiritinerary or a brief description of whatwe saw and did to the work meeting section?
Did any schoolpublish an articleabout the projectmeeting in Iceland? If so, please upload itto «Work meetings»
Please add yourcontributions to asmany sections of the Wikispace aspossible.
Extra tasks Encourage all pupils to take
Jan’s online aptitude test
«Geology, ICT and culture
quiz»

Translate the Survey Monkey
questionnaire into your local
language and ask
colleagues and parents to
answer questions, using the
link on our Wikispace
Is any school
planning to
organise a
Comenius /
Erasmus+ day?
Highly
recommended for
dissemination of
the project.
Thanks …..
