Project Overview: MLinSchools - Multimodality and Literacy in School Classrooms
MLinSchools is an innovative educational initiative designed to equip teachers with multimodal teaching and training tools, enhancing the literacy skills of students in today's digital age. The project emphasizes the integration of various modes of communication, such as written, visual, and auditory elements, into classroom instruction. As literacy practices evolve, students must develop the ability to comprehend, engage with, and create meaning through diverse media forms.
Objectives
The primary goal of MLinSchools is to foster the development of Multimodal Literacy skills among students. The project leverages principles of media literacy, creative drama, and digital storytelling to create engaging and effective learning experiences. By reviewing existing research and testing project outcomes across different national contexts, MLinSchools aims to introduce innovative pedagogical approaches.
Key objectives include:
Implementation
To achieve these objectives, MLinSchools will conduct a series of activities:
1. International Piloting LTTA: Teachers and trainers from partner organizations will participate in international piloting sessions, allowing for cross-cultural exchange and learning.
2. Student Participation: Students from partner countries will engage in piloting activities, accompanied by designated
persons, fostering hands-on learning experiences.
3. Local Activities: Each partner country will organize local activities involving 40 students, facilitating the practical
application of project methodologies.
4. Local Seminars: Seminars will be held for 20 teachers/trainers from various schools, NGOs, and organizations, promoting
the dissemination of project findings and best practices.
5. Multiplier Events: Each partner country will host an event to showcase project outcomes to the general public, targeted
students, and stakeholders, encouraging broader engagement and impact.
Results
MLinSchools aims to produce the following key outcomes:
1. Training Format for European Teachers: A comprehensive training program designed to enhance teachers' abilities to integrate multimodal literacy into their classrooms.
2. Multimodal eLearning Tools: A suite of digital tools and resources that facilitate multimodal learning and
teaching.
3. MLinSchools Web Platform: An online platform that will serve as a hub for resources, training materials, and
collaborative opportunities for educators across Europe.
Through these efforts, MLinSchools strives to revolutionize the way literacy is taught and learned in schools, preparing students for the complexities of modern communication. Join us in this exciting journey to empower educators and students with the skills they need for a multimodal world.
