Let's give the world to the children

Let's give the world to the children just for one day
like a ballon in bright and striking colours to play with
let them play singing among the stars
let's give the world to the children
like a huge apple like a warm loaf of bread
at least for one day let them have enough
let's give the world to the children
at least for one day let the world learn friendship
children will get the world from our hands
the'll plant immortal trees.

On line chat

Chat is a form of real-time communication which uses technology similar to that of electronic mail (e-mail). It is very popular among students who spend some time exchanging ideas and materials over the internet.

Taking part in chat sessions with experts and classes to discuss energy related themes can be a great opportunity for students and teachers as it helps to increase motivation and facilitates communication among schools bringing diverse classes closer together.

It can create conditions for effective and collaborative learning/teaching allowing long-distance exchange and interaction with groups of teachers, students, experts, who have the chance to investigate and understand ideas that may have a global impact. ( "we learn in & through our interactions with others & the world" ).

Chat sessions encourage students to be independent learners within a collaborative environment breaking the routine and making learning more varied.

Before gathering on line the participating schools are provided with background information that help prepare the chat and get familiar with the theme.

The chat activities aim to enhance common knowledge and relate it to most of school subjects (science, chemistry,geography and language); they can also provide ideas and materials to teachers/students getting started in CLIL projects (Content and Language Integrated Learning).

Education has a strategic role in improving Energy awareness, promoting changes in daily behaviour, teaching students and children about energy efficiency and renewable energy.

The Voice of learning technology

Life in the new knowledge society demands more independent and responsible behaviour and much less routine execution of orders; and most of all, We all need to continue to learn throughout life.

We are said to be moving from the industrial age to the Information age, in which different rules will apply in every aspect of society, Education included.

Learning technology has the potential to bring improved learning opportunities to a larger audience than has ever previously been possible.

It is like a bridge - ...over troubled water -

between doing and learning, supporting more active learning experience through high degree of learner involvement, thus promoting a deeper understanding.
