Cookery book activity planned with IC Tommaseo,the digital recipes and videos made by students with the help of the families at home
friendship projects and video interviews as well as the production of some posters with the help of the Art teacher and the English teacher.
E-twinning

During the second year of our Erasmus plus there have been teachers attending different digital courses to keep-up-to-date. A big survey about the ICT use in teaching has been recently done to all the Caduti di Cefalonia teachers. The students have been surfing the net to get some info about the countries involved in the project (Geography, History, Festivals and eating habits,monuments and landmarks),writing stories about Difi’s adventures.

At the beginning of the new school year they will start their new e-twinning.
