The main experience is related to our face-to-face meetings. The opportunity to visit the different schools and see the teachers at work in the field is crucial to involve everyone

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes it is very difficult to focus our discussion and even act exclusively in the digital domain.

We had some difficulty in selecting the target points, despite having already made the diagnosis, both based on SELFIE and the Digital Action Plan. At this moment, our concern is to draw up an action plan that is significant for each School

# data[].attributes.body
Logistics - strong investment in equipment and Internet network;
Provision of educational services - deepening of practices related to the development of digital skills;
Curricular organization and management - increase autonomy, through Innovation Plans, to adopt flexible curriculum management practices, with a digital focus;
Leadership and communication - great concentration of teamwork, with online meetings; sharing of practices; knowledge transmission.
Collaborative work - development of pedagogical teams, correlated with digital tools and strongly motivated.

The Mensi Project has provided a sharing of experiences that has improved collaborative work among teachers in the involved schools.

# data[].attributes.body
The Digital Action Plan is very ambitious and there many different points to be discussed by all schools. It’s difficult to find a common topic to deal with.

# data[].attributes.body
Firstly, issues related to the acquisition of equipment and the increase of the internet speed. Then the real challenge is de development of the students' digital abilities.

# data[].attributes.body
Digital classes were implemented in all school, digital training was given to teachers and the school joined a pilot project called eCODICE. These classes helped sutdents to improve their digital skills.

# data[].attributes.body
We have:
- refreshed our teaching methodology with different approaches and methods of presentation.

- seen some great ideas of our colleagues.

- met a number of digital tools to be used in teaching.

- adjusted our “on the go” strategies respecting the capabilities of the mentored schools.

- been encouraging each other.

Through the mentorship of our school, we have realised how much our colleagues know, can and want to make learning easier for the students, but also how well the teamwork in our school works.

It was nice to share some of our knowledge with colleagues and know that we have made a positive impact on their professional development and digital development.

# data[].attributes.body
During this project, we realized that if the schools are not motivated enough, we will hardly be able to make any change.

# data[].attributes.body
The school board collaborated and was always available for the implementation of digital in school, providing technical support.

# data[].attributes.body
The project will continue to reflect and share experiences. Through greater digital training of teachers more diversified activities in the field of digital will be developed .

# data[].attributes.body
The time dedicated to the Project and the availability of everyone involved in it.

# data[].attributes.body
Through the Ministry of Education by creating means, motivation and conditions for this purpose.

# data[].attributes.body
A good internet signal, good computer equipment, specific training and hours available at the teachers' timetable.

# data[].attributes.body
During the MenSI project, we collaborated very well with colleagues from mentored schools. All the meetings we held were useful to the mutual satisfaction. We have demonstrated work in many digital tools and hopefully we have succeeded in motivating colleagues to implement them in teaching. The most beautiful part of the collaboration was when they visited our school and participated in the lessons. This has contributed to the development of mutual trust and cooperation.

# data[].attributes.body
Unfortunately, due to many obligations, we couldn´ t organize more live workshops and lectures.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge was to present work in digital tools that are new, interesting and useful to most colleagues. There were certainly those who had already worked in many digital tools, so it was a challenge to teach them something new. Also, we made a great effort to choose tools that can be applied in most subjects.

# data[].attributes.body
Implementation of digital tools in various parts of teaching (repetition, learning new material, formative evaluation) and various methods of collaborative learning that help develop teamwork and quality relationships among students.

# data[].attributes.body
The project could continue in the same direction. We should have live or online workshops twice a month on digital tools or various teaching methods. Sharing experiences and sharing examples of good practice help the professional development of every teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
Motivated teachers who are willing to teach others, but also to progress and expand their knowledge of digitalization.

# data[].attributes.body
The most important is the will to learn something new and the desire to improve the quality of students' education. Such teachers will be happy to progress and participate in this project and learn from colleagues who are more expert in digitization than them. It would be interesting to introduce weekly assignments that the mentor would review and write constructive comments.

# data[].attributes.body
We gained insight into the work of other schools and teachers, we also shared thoughts, techniques and strategies to the satisfaction of all participants. We shared our experiences in using many digital tools in teaching and thus, hopefully, further motivated colleagues to implement these tools in their own teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
It would have been very useful if we had managed to hold more live workshops.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge is to find digital tools that would be useful in science teaching and that are open to use to the full range of possibilities. Also, it was challenging to find a digital tool that is intriguing enough and useful at the same time to mentored schools.

# data[].attributes.body
We established mutual trust, shared our experiences in the implementation of digital tools in teaching, showed how simple interactive models can be made and how and when to use them in order to increase the effectiveness of teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
This project gave us more than we could have imagined. First when we started organizing our school team we got great connection between members, we started collaborationg more and that led us to some new project ideas. We improved our skills and knowledge especially when we talk about presentation and organization skills as well as using of ICT. We had chance to work with 4 different mentee schools and colleagues and every school gave us new experience, we saw great examples from their teachers and students and hopefully we will collaborate in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
There were different needs from different mentee school so if we had more live sessions we could have more adopted to that.

# data[].attributes.body
Having primary and secondary schools in the same cluster was pretty challenging.

# data[].attributes.body
We were very open about need, ideas, collaboration and activities and we tried to find the best solutions.

# data[].attributes.body
In addition to motivated teachers, the good will of the responsible person and / or organization is required, by providing the funds needed to meet the technical prerequisites.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea was not only talk and learn theory about digital tools but also on when and how to implement them in classes as well as share good examples from our classrooms.

# data[].attributes.body
We can continue collaboration between schools but also our national ministries could spread our clusters with new schools who want to participate.

# data[].attributes.body
The will and motivation of the teachers from mentor and mentee schools.

# data[].attributes.body
Motivation of both mentors and mentees is needed. In this sense, it is certainly important to provide technical and program (software) prerequisites for effective digitization.

# data[].attributes.body
With the help of national Ministry of Education and European Schoolnet.

# data[].attributes.body
Motivation and will of the teachers and financial resources for live workshops.

# data[].attributes.body
If mentee schools would have the opportunity to become mentor schools, we could spread and expand our knowledge and expertise.

# data[].attributes.body
A supported vision based on policy is a necessity.

# data[].attributes.body
It was esay to make appointments because we only had schools from our own school community in our HUB. We succeeded in organizing 5 live HUB-meetings, all about the goal and the vision to work towards personalized learning with the support of digital transformation.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes it was difficult to motivate everyone with the covid-problems in the different schools! Also we choose MS Teams as our tool of communication and that didn't work. In the future we will look for another tool to communicate.

# data[].attributes.body
By making the mentee-schools mentor-schools we can expand our network and share the expertise with more schools in our own school community.

# data[].attributes.body
The incentives we offered: A general introduction to digital transformation and personalized learning, The use of effective digital tools in the classroom, executive functions and ICT-skills, How to start with an ICT policy plan? and visiting the SETT-convention.

# data[].attributes.headline
Our elemntary school is involved in an Erasmus + project with a school in Bordeaux. The digital educational ideas like creating an escape room gave a boost to our project product. SELFIE is a part of Erasmus project which should be implamented into the projects.

The flexibility of everyone involved was a big challenge. It was a bonus that we had the guidance of our pedagogical support who helped a lot by advising us about the content.

# data[].attributes.body
We used the guidance of our pedagogical support to talk about obstacles and how to move forward!

# data[].attributes.body
Since the first meeting the communication between both schools was great.
We all presented our selfie and discussed several and different working strategies in a cooperative mood.

Visiting the mentor school was such an enrichening experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Through the Selfie we felt  some difficulties in making our own PADDE.
We had to rethink the functioning organization of the school, in order to integrate digital resources  for our individual and collective professional performance.

# data[].attributes.body
High number of teachers with low digital skills- Level1.
Weak technological resources primary school (1st cycle).
Consider how the use of digital resources can change teaching practices for the improvement of teaching in any classroom.
Ensuring more sustainable and effective means of communication.

# data[].attributes.body
Multiple network  points placed throughout the school;
Acquisition of new tablets;
Digital kits distribution;
Using Google Classroom in our pedagogical practice;
Implementation of Digital Academy for parents;
Partnerships with schools to support the Helpdesk;
Ensure digital skills training for as many teachers as possible;
Creating and sharing educational resources, new knowledge and repository.

# data[].attributes.body
Supporting teachers new ideas and proposals ( achieving some specific equipment, training activity for teachers, implementing projects).
Encouraging the sharing of pedagogical practices through the use of active methodologies.

# data[].attributes.body
Continuing teacher training;
Creation of mentorships within the school or with other schools with the aim of sharing successful experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
Collaborative work;
To value digital technology as a means of facilitating the collection, organization and accessibility of information and to make informed decisions;
Make use of digital platforms to make ourselves known to the educational community;
Communicate, disseminate, become acquainted and connected with good teaching/learning environments and assessment practices.

# data[].attributes.body
Each school can be a promoter and invite another school.

# data[].attributes.body
Set up a leadership team with hours in the timetable for the project (keeping communication and dissemination up to date).
Continuing teacher training.

# data[].attributes.body
New digital tools gave different approach for learning, communicating and offering support in every day teaching methods.

# data[].attributes.body
All the schools involved in the project understood the goals and the dynamics and the process went on as expected.
The activities in each school were well designed and a real ice-breaker for everyone involved.

# data[].attributes.body
The Covid crisis still took a toll on teacher's mental well-being, resulting in their unavailability for external projects, in favor of actually giving their classes.

# data[].attributes.body
The most impactful experience is the frequent meetings held between the mentor school and the mentoring schools, with topics agreed between the different schools, with a plan, which allows the sharing of good practices.

# data[].attributes.body
Everything went as planned, there were no negative aspects we should mention.

# data[].attributes.body
The content needs to be relevant for all available parties, so it needs to be included in school policy and discussed with the colleages. These projects are the next step. Maybe also a tool to match schools with the same needs.

# data[].attributes.body
After visiting some of the partners, we were able to introduce changes in our school, following the good experiences we saw in the field.

# data[].attributes.body
We ara all considering the possibility of repeating the visits among schools and implementing workshops organized by each partner.

# data[].attributes.body
Digital Development Plans are ambitious and very dense, so managing to cover and talk about the various domains becomes a real challenge.

# data[].attributes.body
Schools could promote the ideas behind the project with new partners, on an informal basis.

# data[].attributes.body
Strengthen internet signal. Empowerment of parents in digital.

# data[].attributes.body
For all students to have the opportunity to work collaboratively, one of the solutions implemented was the availability of technological devices in all school halls.

# data[].attributes.body
Sharing between colleagues of good practices linked to digital (active methodologies).

# data[].attributes.body
More training, anchored to digital, for teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
During the whole mentoring experience we notice many ways of collabaration. Sharings good practices and learning from each other.

# data[].attributes.body
We developed an effective lesson scheme in order to support mentees in implementing digital integrated active lessons.
This helped a lot mentees in put into practice what they learnt during the face to face workshop at our school

# data[].attributes.body
We also implemented a grid for mentoring observation who helped us a lot in keep the monitoring in presence clear, objective and complete

# data[].attributes.body
Continue with the sharing of good practices between the mentor school and the mentee schools.

# data[].attributes.body
Share with other schools good examples of practices that originated in MenSI.

# data[].attributes.body
Motivation and the technological component (signal, devices, ...)

# data[].attributes.body
We provided a one day workshop at our school about active didactics ICT integrated, useful to build the group cluster too

# data[].attributes.body
The models and the experience developed during this MenSi year, could become at the basis of a future mentoring structure to be widen and sistematized especially among small rural schools
