Teaching With Europeana

I am History / Geography teacher at Pui Gymnasium School, Hunedoara County, Romania. I am part of the European Schoolnet working group http://www.eun.org/ as part of the Europeana DSI 4 project, where we create and implement classroom teaching using the platform @ Europeana.eu. DSI - Europeana Digital Service Infrastructure https://pro.europeana.eu/project/europeana-dsi-4 Purpose of activities: Current educational approaches require the use of online tools that become sources of learning and training for both students and teachers. Within the Europeana DSI-4 project, 130 teachers from 11 countries are involved. In Romania 10 teachers and a group coordinator were selected. Our role in this team is to encourage teachers from Romania to integrate Europeana resources within the course hours by offering them models of online teaching projects hosted by the platform @ Europeana.eu. For example, teachers can find on the Europeana blog a catalog of learning scenarios, including Europeana resources. In addition, the blog offers stories of how resources are implemented in classes by teachers using their own scenarios or those of other colleagues. The platform @ Europeana.eu offers millions of resources from all fields that can turn the course hours into a virtual journey in the history of humanity. Europeana is a digital platform that offers free access to over 57 million resources from European museums, archives and libraries. The purpose of the platform is to preserve the European cultural heritage. https://teachwitheuropeana.eun.org/about-teaching-with-europeana/ Originality and creativity of the project: Both students and teachers can explore on the Europeana site, 57 million works of art, artifacts, books, video and audio recordings from all over Europe. Results / impact of the activity at the student level: The issues addressed in the project were: homophobia, protecting the rights of students and combating racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism.
