Our city

Pupils from partner schools create a photo album presenting their city. Pupils take and upload photos of places, people, interesting moments, etc., in order to give a profile of their region and life there. Pupils from the other school(s) then vote on the most interesting photos that their partners have taken.

Pedagogical Objectives

Pupils improve their ICT skills by learning more about the place where their partners live.

Process

Step 1

Each class discusses and chooses a series of monuments, landmarks and/or other interesting places in their area. Pupils search for images of the places they have chosen or take their own digital photos, if possible. The photos are then uploaded into a gallery in the TwinSpace or in Picasa or Flickr.

Step 2

Once the pictures have been uploaded, the pupils can write short paragraphs about them which include interesting background information.

Step 3

Partners discuss the gallery using the TwinSpace chat and vote for the most interesting photos.

Outcomes

Pupils create an information-rich photo gallery of their partners’ towns, regions and/or or countries.
