Erasmus KA210 Digital Math Workshop: a day of welcoming and sharing

Today, at the lower secondary school of IC Diaz in Laterza, we kicked off the first day of the *Erasmus KA210 Digital Math Workshop* project together with our partners from France, Belgium and Turkey. 

The morning began with a special welcome: the students of the music course performed the national anthems of each host country, followed by the institutional greeting of our Headmaster, Prof. Nicola Latorrata. The enthusiasm was palpable in the corridors, with many curious students eager to welcome our guests! 

We then continued with knowledge games, the presentation of multimedia works created by our students to tell the story of the Italian school system, the city of Laterza, its traditions and its splendid ravine. The heart of the morning was a workshop dedicated to the common values ​​of the European Union, with the creation of slogans and representative flags. 

 After a convivial lunch, the afternoon was dedicated to discovering the historic center of Laterza, with a walk through alleys, monuments and testimonies of our thousand-year history. 

A sincere thank you to all the teachers and students who made this wonderful day possible! The project is just beginning, and we are excited to continue this path of growth and cultural exchange together!

Second International Erasmus Plus Meeting

The second international meeting of the ERASMUS Plus Digital Math Workshop project will be held in Laterza, in the province of Taranto, in southern Italy, in the beautiful Puglia Region, at the IC Diaz, "Dante Alighieri" lower secondary school from 31 March to 4 April 2025.

MONTHLY REPORT DMW - SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS (FEBRUARY 2025)

 In February 2025, there was a slight decrease in data due to the interaction with the few posts published, both on the Facebook page and on the Instagram channel. The Facebook page also recorded a decrease of one follower.

Comparing the February insights with the previous months, it can be noted that in this month the interaction of the social channels was almost zero.

LOOKING FOR THE LOST PI...

On the occasion of Pi Greco Day, within the Erasmus+ KA210 partnership project "Digital Math Workshop", classes II A, II B and II D of the IC DIAZ of Laterza (Italy), participated in an exciting educational activity. Led by their teachers, Pietricola and Rubino, the students immersed themselves in the fascinating world of pi.

The students measured various round objects, such as paper circles, plates, and lids, to calculate the ratio of their circumference to their diameter, thus discovering the approximate value of pi.

Additionally, through the use of Geogebra software, students explored the mathematical representation of pi, creating drawings and graphs to better understand its meaning and application.

The activities demonstrated how mathematics can be explored in an interactive and fun way, enriching learning and stimulating students' curiosity.

Comparing the insights of December with the months of October and November, it can be noted that in this month the interaction of the social channels was almost zero.

MONTHLY REPORT DMW - SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS (NOVEMBER 2024)

The Facebook page and the Instagram chanel, entitled Digital Math Workshop, will be usefuls to disseminate the activities undertaken by the partners of the Erasmus KA210 project of the same name.

During the first two months, from the beginning of the Erasmus Plus project, there was a low interaction with the published posts, both on the Facebook page and on the Instagram channel. The published posts were few, concentrated in the week of the first mobility, intended for teachers only, held in Belgium.

Looking at the insights of the months of October and November, it can be noted that:

- in October, the interaction of the social channels was almost zero;

- in November, the situation changed, especially between the 18th and the 22nd, coinciding with the mobility in Belgium.

FIRST ERASMUS+ MOBILITY KA210 - Digital Math Workshop

The first Erasmus Plus mobility of the "Digital Math Workshop" project has ended, held from 18 to 22 November 2024 in the heart of Flanders, Bruges in Belgium, which sees the collaboration of our school and the partner countries Belgium and Turkey, coordinated by France. 

The project aims to discover the various possibilities of applying Artificial Intelligence in teaching and learning mathematics. 

Being a mobility of teachers only, various applications that could be introduced into teaching have been tested. Furthermore, the organizational details of future student mobilities have been agreed upon, which will take place starting from March 2025 with the meeting in Italy. 

The skills acquired will be validated with a project on augmented reality that will be part of an ebook that will contain the works of all the partners and which each school will be able to use.

DMW-Digital Math Workshop (Erasmus+ KA210-SCH)

This eTwinning project was opened to be carried out simultaneously with the Eramus+ KA210SCH project named DMW- Digital Math Workshop with the number 2024-FR-KA210-SCH-0000244028, which was submitted to the French national agency in the 2024 Round-1 period and was awarded a grant. The project is in partnership with France, Belgium, Italy and Turkey and will be completed in 14 months. Teacher and student mobility will be carried out in the project and our general objectives within the scope of the project are as follows: By implementing this project, we aim to increase the frequency of using artificial intelligence supported software and tools in Mathematics lessons. We want to make mathematics teaching and learning processes more qualified by freeing them from prejudices and stereotypes. Through the developing digital skills of the participants and their dissemination, we aim to support the EU's goal of a high-quality standard of education in Europe. Within the scope of the project, various applications, tools and software supported by artificial intelligence will be integrated into mathematics teaching and learning processes. This integration includes Metaverse, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and AI based technologies. For this purpose, educational activities such as workshops, virtual experiences, Professional development programmes, sample lesson plans and simulations are planned.
