The main purpose of the project was to introduce new teaching and learning apps to both teachers and students and introduce an effective use of the Internet for educational purposes. Teachers should be informed about new teaching methods, apps and students ought to know about all new IT tools and applications that can make their life easier and help them learn faster and in a more pleasant environment. The project activities will enable the inclusion of digital technologies in a school curriculum and into students' study routines.
