Project Synthesis

____________Brief description of the project

 

OBJECT

* To spread and relaunch the image of the national historic, artistic and scenic heritage.
* To give students the knowledge and competence in the promotion of the artistic and environmental heritage through the use of new multimedia technologies- as required by the new tourist professions- since our liceo is situated in a tourist area characterized by artistic and scenic beauties .

 

THE IDEA

The project comes out from a survey on the students' educational needs, from an analysis of the territorial resources, from the students'skill in the use of informatic technologies, from the new consciousness of the importance of multimedia in the school after the three year course on 'multimedia in the school' organized by our school few years ago .

The idea of the project is the result of an agreement between the headmaster Mr Santo Giovanni Torrisi and a group of teachers supported by the Collegio dei Docenti and Consiglio di Istituto.
The students have welcome the initiative and some of them have been taking an active part since the very beginning.
The effective planning went over 1998-99 school year but since then the project has undergone several controls and adjustments.

Carrying out procedures

The project staff is made up by the headmaster Mr. Santo Giovanni Torrisi, as a director, by the teachers who are responsible for the different sectors and by a group of 40 students attending the second- third- forth and fifth classes.
During this first stage contacts with external experts have been established in order to get informal suggestions and opinions from people who have already had experiences as film directors in students' performances, CD Rom authors and people in charge of multimedia associations.
We have also been in touch with teachers who are working with similar projects, even on European basis, or using multimedia as teaching aids.
