Integration of Innovative Technologies in Teaching

Identifying Common Needs & Priorities

Shared challenges: What teaching/learning challenges (e.g., digital divides, climate education gaps, student engagement) are most pressing across our countries, and how can a joint project address them?

Resource gaps: Which tools, expertise, or content (e.g., Jordan’s water scarcity resources, Israel’s AI tools) could be pooled to create shared solutions?

Quick wins: What low-effort, high-impact activity (e.g., a 2-hour virtual teacher exchange, a shared lesson plan repository) could we pilot

Designing Collaborative Formats

Workshop models:

Should we prioritize co-teaching webinars (e.g., Moroccan educators on desert agriculture + Israeli tech experts), student-led hackathons, or joint curriculum sprints?
Which platform (e.g., Moodle, WhatsApp groups) best balances accessibility and functionality for our participants?

Cross-border activities:

How can we structure "virtual mobility" sessions where students collaborate on shared tasks (e.g., analyzing regional climate data)?
Could a rotating hosting model (e.g., each country leads a monthly workshop) distribute responsibilities fairly?

Leveraging Erasmus+ Small-Scale Partnerships

Funding alignment: Which of the Erasmus+ priorities (e.g., inclusion, green practices) does our idea best fit, and how can we emphasize this in proposals?

Partnership scope: Should we start with 2 countries (minimum requirement) or involve all 4 from the outset? What administrative hurdles might arise?

Capacity building: How can we use the project to train less tech-savvy educators through peer mentoring?

Student Involvement & Impact

Co-creation: How can students co-design activities (e.g., creating intercultural case studies, peer-reviewing projects) to ensure relevance?

Assessment: What simple metrics (e.g., pre/post-surveys on digital literacy, shared project outputs) will demonstrate success?

Scalability: Could a pilot workshop in one subject (e.g., climate science) later expand to others (history, languages)?

Cultural & Logistical Considerations

Language: How will we handle multilingual content (e.g., Arabic/Hebrew/Greek subtitles, AI translation tools)?

Sensitive topics: What protocols will ensure respectful dialogue on contentious issues (e.g., resource conflicts, historical narratives)?

Where do we go from here?
