The schools of the DTICEQT Project have worked on a CPS linking literature and social networks, through the use of ICT tools.

With this work, the students learned to manage social networks and to use ICT tools while learning something more about some of the most important classical and modern authors

Some schools such as Padre Feijoo Zorelle implemented a CPS on the Royal Academy of Spanish Language, learning how to interact through Twitter and making an infographic about the institution using Canva.

Also in this month, they implemented a CPS on the importance of pollinators too.

Schools continue to implement CPS within the DTICEQT Project. The Padre Feijoo Zorelle students worked hard at the following CPS:

• CPS on gamification to learn more about European cities.

• CPS on working across a scape room in a virtual museum based on Greek mythology (see more).

• CPS on Gothic and Romanesque art (see more).

• CPS on world heritage, researching and debating its importance and developing a project on the Edmodo platform.

Training Day update for the DTICEQT project partners, to reinforce and deepen the schools’ knowledge on the fields of economy and undertaking, and to prepare them for the implementation of the upcoming CPS.

The course was given by Xabier Sánchez Santos, Project Manager at AEPI Sabon and included the following contents:

• Proposal of CPS in the topic of enterprise and economy.

• Why is it important to talk about undertaking in the schools?

• CPS for running a business.

• Creative Problem Solving as a management tool.

• What should the teacher know?

• The general process for undertaking.

At the end of April, the partners held a new meeting of the DTICEQT Project, and it was great to meet (even if it was virtually) all the partners again. Everything goes according to plan, and we are eager to meet each other again in the flesh.

In March, it was time for the schools to work on a CPS about water and the importance of its responsible use, with the students researching on the topic and creating their videos to raise awareness.

Students have to find out if live will be possible without water and which will be the consequences of water disappearance as it is a non-renewable resource. Students must find solutions on how to preserve this important resource and create a video advertisement to promote it and make people aware of its importance with all the information they have gathered.

During the month of February, the schools worked on several CPS of the DTICEQT project, using different techniques and ICT tools:

• They completed a CPS about prehistorians, investigating and working around archaeology.

• They developed a CPS to create a school's virtual library, working with different technological tools.

• And other group of schools implemented the CPS on robotics.

So, the implementation of the project and the work of the schools continues as planned.

During the month of January, the DTICEQT project schools continued to work with their students to implement new CPS.

This month, the CPS that were worked on covered different aspects of the main themes of the project, with topics such as peace, podcast creation or robotics.

Also, during this month, contacts between students from schools in different countries continued via videoconference, to share their experiences, findings and conclusions while developing the implementation of the chosen CPS.

All the schools will carry out the implementation of all the planned CPS, so that at the end of this phase, all of them will have gone through the same CPS and will be able to carry out an exchange of experiences under equal conditions.

2021 is coming to an end, and it's time to review the work of the partners in the DTICEQT project in the last 12 months.

After months of online work and coordination, the partners of the DTICEQT were finally able to meet face to face in Barcelos (Portugal). There, on October 6, 7 and 8, the schools formed groups to prepare for future collaborative work. The schools’ groups started their work by planning the training and piloting activities, and also some training actions were developed.

These training actions covered all the main topics in the project:

• Personal & cultural heritage.

• Enterprises & economy.

• STEM.

After that, in the following weeks, the schools began to work on the implementation of the planned CPS, starting with the training of the teachers involved.

The work of the schools continued by implementing with their students each of the selected CPS according to the planned schedule and according to the methodology defined in the project. The students worked in groups that analysed the problem, collected evidence, and presented their conclusions and proposals to the rest of their classmates.

Each CPS implemented, as well as its conclusions and findings, were later shared by the students, via video conference, with students from other countries who had worked on the same case.
To sum up, this has been a year full of activity and good results for the project partners, their teachers, and their students. Here is for a 2022 full of success for everyone at the DTICEQT project and for all ErasmusPlus projects!

The schools of the DTICEQT project, once the training phase of the teachers involved in the planned activities has been completed, have launched the first CPS according to the planned calendar and methodology.

To do this, the students have known a short introduction to the subject, they have developed by themselves the search for information, they have worked in groups to integrate it and they have presented it to their classmates using different supports based on ICT tools.

The results obtained validate the working methods designed, and the plans remain as they were defined at the Portugal meeting.
