A lot of problwems had been drafted by all partners. International Teams shall solve these problems while commun icating and cooperating. The process of work has to be documention by using goole products like e.g. Google docs.
1. Bank of open problems to solve in international teams using Google Apps and
other ICT software
1. Designing toys (DE)
Create a series of soft toys (like teddy bears or animals) which go well together (3-4
different ones) by using SketchUp. Write a report containing pictures of the first
drafts (e.g. on paper) and in which way team managed to realise the series of toys
which suit the best together.
2. Meeting point (FI)
a) You are planning to meet your friends from other two schools. Use map and
Geogebra to find a point, which is at the same distance from all three schools. In
which country and town you will meet? Write a report where you describe the method
you solved a problem.
b) You are going to meet friends from all ICT-World schools. Where you should meet, if
you want to minimize distance to travel? Use GeoGebra and map to find a point so
that the total distance from point to each school is as short as possible. In which
country and town you will meet? Write a report where you describe the method you
solved a problem.
For teachers: The part a) can be solved easily using GeoGebra tool Circle through 3 points.
The part b) is a difficult problem and students can found different methods.
2b. Meeting point (CZ)
Watch the video http://video.idnes.cz/?idvideo=V170929_103005_technet_jaha and design a trajectory
2. animation for the rocket that would take the participants to the meeting point (let´s say) on
the southern hemisphere
3. Order from a glass manufactory (DE)
Create a glass collection (water or juice, wine, …) for a glass manufactory by using
SketchUp.(If the model is not so big you may print it out with a 3D printer). Use google doc
to share your ideas and discussion about the chosen forms.
4. Car wipers (DE)
Chose at least 3 - 4 cars from different companies (one should be a truck or a bus) and
model windscreen wipers with GeoGebra. Add pictures or videos to present the original
movement of the chosen car models/wipers.
5. Storytelling (DE)
Create a fairy tale and simulate and/or illustrate the story by using Scratch. Write a report in
google apps to show the way of common work!
6. Garden landscaping (DE)
Create a symmetric bed of flowers GeoGebra as you can see it in parks with. Then “plant”
flowers in this draft by using GIMP. Add details of flowers that you use in your bed of flowers
in your google doc or presentation including also your organisation and cooperation of this
problem.
7. Ferns (DE)
Model 3 ferns or more with GIMP. Include in your common report a description how this orks
and photos of realistic ferns with biological characteristics that are similar to your creations.
3. 8. “Unesco Heritage list” tourism (FR)
a. Look for the 2 Unesco protected places in your country you like the most. Present
briefly the 6 chosen places in a slideshow.
b. Plan a loop trip by car (boat can be used if needed) joining the 6 chosen places for a
family of 2 adults + 2 kids aged 14 and 9. Estimate the time and all the real costs in a
spreadsheet.
9. How many trees? (FR)
Using Google Earth, estimate the number of trees in the country of your choice (common
choice).
Explain how the choice was made + your method.
10. Chess game (DE)
Create a chess game with with own (freely invented) chess figures by using SketchUp.
Explain the meaning of your figures in a google application.
11. Gothic churches and windows (DE)
Choose one or two famous churches in Europe and model ornaments of windows, friezes
and traceries. Create model by using GeoGebra and/or SketchUp - especially if you like to
model the whole building, too. Document your work with photos and descriptions of your
constructions in a google application, too.
12. “Three- countries-dinner” (DE)
Chose a menu consisting of a starter, main course and desert, each from a different country.
Develop a poster by using Gimp with all decorated plates.Add recipes, pictures, ...
to your additional presentation.
13. Buildings of Unesco World Heritage (DE)
Create a model of a chosen building of Unesco World Heritage (e.g. a castle, a bridge, …) in
your country e.g. with SketchUp.Create the same building then in modern style. Explain
features of the architectural style at the time when the chosen building has been built e.g. in
a common presentation.
14. Tools for imaging, simulation and modeling (DE)
Present one tool that fits to the topic of ICT World - imaging, coding, simulating and
transfering the world, that is free and easy to use by adding a explications about its use,
tutorial (s) and some tasks to someone who has not worked with this tool before.
4. 15. Collection of students little specific ICT world productions sites (SP):
A collection of creative pretty practical productions elaborated by ICT World students.
Trainees should upload in the specific google tool a picture, video, infographic,... of the
finished production indicating some parameters as for instance: taken time to create it,
software used to do it, academic contents of the different subjects that they needed to
work to produce it and methodology followed.
ex.-
CREATION TAKEN
TIME
SOFTWARE ACADEMIC CONTENTS METHODOLOGY
4 hours Geogebra ● Algebraic contents
(maths)
● Environmental
knowledge
● Working in
international teams.
(Students from one
country challenge
students from other
country by sending
them a video of a
moving object).
In this case, a collection of google sites with the same format and the new ICT world logo
could be suitable this activity.
16. Collage of ICT World productions (SP)
made by students (David) from different countries working in international teams (using the
Gimp). There should be many creations done by students with scratch, geogebra, sketchup,
arduino, 3D printed objects,....(many of them are already done) on the background and in
the centre of it… should be written the world ICT WORLD in such possible ways
Each letter of ICT WORLD could be done taking advantage of the original typography of
every ICT tool. For instance:
Gimp Sketchup tinkercad Web 2.0 geogebra scratch lego Arduino
The same gimp base file ought to be edited by all students at different times following a
particular order: SPAIN> CZECH REP>LATVIA> FINLAND> FRANCE >GERMANY
17. Infographic with ICT World timeline using Google Apps for Education (SP)
By using google charts and others, students in a chained way could build and infographic
with ICT WORLD time line from the very beginning.
5. This way, students would work with the same document. French students would start
indicating the main events, productions, workshops images,... till the end of the first meeting
in Merignac. French students would then build the first line of the infographic adding in the
line for instance: Gael scratch robot, one scratch art animation,.... After it, Germany would
draw the second link of the chain adding for instance, the sketchup car designed in Unna by
a Finnish student or some of the Geogebra animations,.... and so on.
The following image could be an example of what I am trying to explain.
18. Creating of intellectual game "Through the pages of school textbooks" using
Scratch. (LV)
To discuss what subjects and topics are studied by students from different countries. To pick
up on three questions of a different degree of complexity on topics of different school
subjects, for example, mathematics, science, geography, world history or others. The
answers are evaluated by different number of points. To invite all project participants to play
6. this game. The first three participants who send a screenshot with the maximum number of
points will receive prizes.
19. Two towers (LV)
Two cylindrical towers have the same height - 10 meters, the diameter of the first is 5
meters, of the second - 2.5 meters. Around each tower is a spiral staircase. The angle of
stairs to the horizon everywhere constant and equal for both towers. At the base of each
tower stands one hobbit.
Which of them will first rise to the top of the tower, if they rise at the same speed?
To solve the problem, use 3D modeling in SketchUp or GeoGebra .
20. ICT Freak Test (CZ)
Using Scratch create a multiple choice test with a set of questions (about the electronic
devices usage, programs, apps, PC games etc) that would calculate how far you are on a
scale of ICT Freaks. The more points you get the bigger ICT Freak you are. If you have
ZERO POINTS then there is no place in the ICT WORLD Project for you. :-)
21. Visit our schools Game (CZ)
Create a game (using Scratch) in which one character visits each ICT WORLD school and
completes tasks connected either to the school or to the project.
22. Enigma stuff (FR)
Use Scratch to encrypt a simple message, working like an Enigma machine.
23. Alphabet Spider Web (CZ)
Programming the ozobots to move on pre-designed alphabet spiderweb to “hit” the ICT
WORLD letter only.
24 My day (FI)
What kind of is your regular day? Present it by using many different medias. You can also us
videos, photos, music, text, etc.
25. Math Game (FI)
Students make plan of the math game on Gdocs. Every students or groups will make it
using Scratch. After coding students compare their games and think how they did it
different. (Ma 6lk.)
26. Plastics from nature (FI)
Potatoes for example are staple food in our nutrition. They can also be utilized in various
tasks in industrial production (glues, beverages, papermaking, etc.). Create a presentation
of bioplastics by utilizing ICT and explain how the bioplastic products are made of potatoes
(starting from potato farms and ending with household products). You are allowed to use
videos, chemistry experiments, molecular modelling, statistics, graphs, etc.
