USEFUL INFORMATION

If you have decided to participate in our Erasmus + project "Human History Communication and Reflection" and you are working hard on creating your own material, here you have a few tips and useful information to help you dealing with ICT: 

First of all, you should choose the topic among the different possibilities. Do you remember them?


-Bullying
-Gender discrimination
-The promotion of sport practice among young girls.
-Knowledge of our cultural heritage as wealth, creation of employment and economic growth
-Literature and Territory: the creation of a Literary Atlas.


Then, you should decide the best option to present the result of your work. It is important that the way you present your material enhances it and makes it attractive so, do not hesitate, ask a teacher if you need some advice.

Anyway, whether it is a document or a visual product, you must deal with a computer. There are many online applications and software that can help you and will make your work easier so, here it comes the help we are glad to offer to you:


DOCUMENTS: leaflet, workbooks, Infographics, poster …

If your material is one of these types you can use the classical software as OpenOffice or Word. We also recommend you to use Drive-Google document (google docs). This way you are going to be able to access your work anywhere and update and revise it when needed. You only need to have a google account.
