4. WebTV for Schools Overview In the framework of the project a network composed by technologists together with pedagogues and users will develop a Web TV platform, the WebTV for schools platform, over which students will collaborate in order to present to their virtual classmates programs created by themselves, promoting aspects of everyday life, school life, customs, monuments, cultural activities and events taking place in their countries. Students will select an aspect of their country’s culture to promote, will then collect the content and prepare the emission with the support of specialists in the field of audiovisual productions. The WebTV for schools learning environment will act as stimuli for intercultural dialogue between the schools participating in the project, as the starting point for discussion and exchange of ideas about culture, Europe, national and European identity. The combination of Web TV, a low cost Internet access solution with basic communication capabilities the Internet offers and a small number of high end computers with software widely used in the audiovisual world will provide teachers, students, parents and members of the local communities with access to expanded sources of information and common tools needed to process and communicate that information electronically. The duration of the project is 2 years.
