The objectives we aimed at were: - to develop and improve the digital skills for 15 teachers in three European schools, by increasing the number of classes using digital tools and resources at 80%, so that they could deliver more interesting and motivating lessons for their students; - to develop and improve 75 students’ motivation and interest in learning, so as to increase their learning results by 10% and their school attendance at 100%; - to set-up a real and working collaborative network among 3 European schools, to carry out all the activities of the project, and to develop and create 1 common digital resource to be used during and after the end of the project. We wanted to offer teachers and students the opportunity to collaborate, to learn by exchanging good-practice examples, share experience and ideas in order to create, use and take advantage of innovative and modern teaching and learning techniques involving technology, and to develop their digital skills and key competences. We wanted the digital component of the education in these schools to be developed and improved, and new practices and resources to be created and integrated into daily activities by teachers.
