SUSTAINABLE: Sparking Understanding of SDGs Through AI and Novel Approaches in Balanced Learning Environments

In an AI Driven era, teachers should adopt innovative educational strategies to teach the use and the ethics of AI through real-world challenges, such as sustainability. Thus, this project aims to empower teachers with these strategies and cutting-edge digital and AI tools to enhance their students' digital competences while exploring the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each month, based on an novel teaching methodology (PBL, IBL, Personalized learning, Experiential Learning, Collaborative Learning, Flipped Classroom, Game-Based Learning, Storytelling and Socratic Seminars), students will implement activities using digital and AI tools related to one of the 17 Global Goals and the relative International/World Day. Thus the project will be based on 3 axes: Sustainability, Innovative learning and Emerging technologies. By integrating emerging technologies into the classroom, teachers will create engaging, interactive activities that not only foster digital literacy but also deepen students' understanding of global challenges. Through AI-driven platforms and collaborative digital tools, students will develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills, all while contributing to meaningful discussions on sustainability and global citizenship. The idea of this project is based on the ESEP online course "Unlocking the power of teachers' digital competence: Innovative teaching and learning strategies". https://sustainable-etwinning-project.webnode.gr/

8th P.S. Kifissia - Title for the Collaborative story and forum discussion for students

The students reviewed Harry's story and, during the plenary, came up with three different title suggestions. In the end, they used Mentimeter to vote and select the final one! Although we may have missed the deadline, the students took ownership of the title and thoroughly enjoyed the activity, which was a great way to wrap up this unique collaborative story. It was also the perfect moment for them to share their thoughts and emotions in the Twinspace forum!

Also, students worked on Twinspace forum and they wrote thoughts about our collaborative story. Some students wrote comments on Project Journal, too.

In addition, my students played two online games created by our eTwinning partners (Blooket and Genially).

Alexia Chatzispyroglou-Aristotelio College, Thessaloniki-Greece

This month, we explored inspiring videos and used them as a spark to create a series of powerful images centered around Earth Day. Through this creative journey, our students became more aware and deeply moved by the realities of our planet’s environmental issue, especially the urgent challenge of climate change.

We then took it a step further by using the ChatterPix Kids app to produce engaging short videos—little "shorts" packed with big messages! These mini-spots were shared with our classmates, capturing their attention and sparking conversations about how we can all make a difference for the Earth!

II. osnovna škola Čakovec, Croatia - Earth Day

My students completed the April task related to the Earth Day. First, students watched two videos, and then worked on our collaborative task (they generated Earth image for our partners and worked in ChatterPixKids). We had a lot of fun, especially with ChatterPixKids! On the occasion of the Earth Day we decorated our pinboard, too.
