I think computing is related to all the school subjects.Infact it has given a new sense to these subjects.English ,as this is my domain,is easily taught through computing.A very easy task for my students is to write an e-mail in the computer and send it to each other about let's say describing their christmas holidays.

We have our own classroom website where we do a lot of online tasks using Padlets or Linoit. We're working on our third eTwinning projects that we have designed on the basis of our year's curriculum in nature and society. This mode actually encourages the development of essential skills. We are also working on an international project so we learn the English language, develop language skills through videoconferencing and ect.

The computing can be used across the various disciplines. Eg. You can create characters to tell your story, artistic designs, geometric shapes in mathematics, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
It's very productive to use coding as a transversal subject and combine it with whatever subjects. So, by example, you can use Geogebra at Maths, Easy Java Simulations at Physics, NetLogo at a lot of subjects, etc.

Since this year I mainly teach Physics to 5th grade I link this subject with computing and mostly I make lesson plans using Rhet simulations in order my pupils to explore key concepts like energy forms and transformation (Have a look at the lesson plan below – in Greek). Of course programming is a much more engaging procedure that connects a variety of subject matters across the curriculum that’s why I’m planning to use
it with my next school year’s students.

We are barely beginning to work with Scratch, but we figured it would be great if we used it to explain notions, to express feedback at the end of the project. In language learning, since I am an english teacher, we could create an app based on the suggestions we get from students about effective language learning. Minecraft is something my students and i have in common, though I barely have any time, but whenever we can I let them use Minecraft to express themselves, to narrate, build, throw parties for projects. One student is building an etwinning10 birthday cake, another has built a few landmarks in European capitals to celebrate Europe's day.

We don’t have functional computers to usefor the lesson , but I think that the computer could be used to teach or learn something about a subject or different subjects Almost every topic from the curiculum can be applied by using the computer( music, art, history, dancing, science etc) For example , it is a connection between History and Geography and we use computer to find out something about Columbus travel or Magellan travel etc.

According to the curriculum, 2 years ago, I tryed to organized a project linking all subjects I taught that year in Primary School.

As a music teacher I explained the characteristics of the "singspiel" and told them the "Die Zauberflote" 's plot. Then the pupils, working in pair, illustrated all the sequences of the show and with word processing typed the captions and the summary of the Opera. Next we scanned their pictures creating a nice layout like a magazine.

To complete the task the pupils did a research about Mozart and his time. They finally added their comment about all job.

So we could link Italian, Music, Drawing, a little bit of History, Computing but, more important, working together, they had to share ideas and collaborate each other.

# data[].attributes.body
We can do combining projects with every other subjects because computing it's a transversal subject and a way to work with whatever topic we want.
For example, we can program an app related with a specific subject or specifically oriented to primary students we can use computational thinking, collaborative work, team work, for any other task like make a practice in the workshop working in groups.

Computing can be used in various Subjects, for istance Maths, Science, but also learning foreign languages. Etwinning can help to involve students in learning languages and computing, creating slide, video, and so on

We can link computing with all subjects because the computing thinking is necessary in almost everything we do, as we saw before in this course.

A radio program activity, promoting the communication skills and talking about european citizenship, is a project that sometimes I do with my students. They need to be involved in a kind of computing process, because of the computing related skills.

During these first months of the school year in my country my students have been carrying out a History project called "Industrial Revolution, curse or blessing?". During this proyect students used their devices to read an adpated version of Oliver Twist, they investigated about the author and the period in which they lived and then they used their devices to create a comic of a similar boy living similar situations but in a 21st century Argentina. Thye used storyboard that. In this way, we linked the project to literature.

Then, they watched and listened to some diary entries children working in factories wrote, so they replicated those entries, they wrote their own and now they are going to use fotobbable to record their own voices reading those letters.

Now, as a final task, we are planning to hold a forum to debate about the topic with schools from other parts of the world. We will use google hangouts and students will use their notes on the devices. Some students will become the jury and they will use todaysmeet in order to chat and come to an agreement on the "veredict".

These are just some activities a I have carried out recently, but last year I used other tools such as collaborative google docs to share information and create presentations; glogster , mural.ly, padlet or linioit to create posters in different situations, videos with slide.ly, animoto or even movie maker.

The platform Scratch is amazing to create projects by primary school students that link computing with other subject. We can develop projects like these: 1 - Tangran to link with geometry; 2 - Animation to apply Phisics concepts of movements, velocity, etc. 3 - Dialogues to improve languages skills.

This year I teach physics at a high school and tried to combine the physical, sports and computer. This class works as a flipped classroom, but I think it's a good experience for the students work in groups, search for the material, organize work to do, create a learning object as an ebook. At the end they present their work and everyone will have the opportunity to evaluate their own work and that of others.

In my 2nd grade math class, we use ICT as a tool for differentiated education and visualization. My students love to train their math skills with our 5 new tablets, using educational software. They use them as digital cameras to hunt
geometric shapes in the school house or find multiplication tasks and show and discuss their results on the interactive whiteboard. During special events they use twitter to report some insights to their parents and the interested public.

Further ideas I realized, was making
reading comprehension quizzes for classmates with learningapps.org,
controlling abundance of active written vocabulary via Wordle and
controlling spelling via Voki. We use „Antolin-quizzes“ for reading comprehension and reading lists, paint and write at the computer (OO4kids) and will take part in the „worldmathsday“, organized by 3Plearning, where we will compete in mental maths with children from all over the world in livetime.
The maths activity most strongly
connected to computer skills for me is Sona-Geometry. Sona Geometry is practised by the tribal of Chokwe and was brought to Europe by Paulus Gerdes. Next to a lot of important ethnomathematical scientific research he developed
some children drawing games from the original art of Sona, monolinear
figures, which use specific algorithms to be completed.

I think that computing can help students to learn about other subjects as well as, other subjects can help students to learn the computing. I think it’s impossible to separate them, because they are closely related.

# data[].attributes.body
I think computing is linked in every school subject. For example, there are word editors to write and to create texts, there are spreadsheets to make simple counts, there are drawing sheets with various tools for arts creations, storyboard creators to tell stories, etc. . With a transversal project we can involve many subjects. For example, in a project about nutrition we can describe it and all its steps with "Microsoft Word", then we can do a list of foods divided on nutritional factors with "Microsoft Excel" and we can realize a graphic about related statistics with "Microsoft Paint". At the end, we can show all the stages covered with "Storyboard That".

Teachers of all subjects use computers in my school these days. I teach maths and physics and I cannot even imagine a single class where I wouldn’t use the computer in one form or the other. EBooks, quizzes, crosswords, educational games, interactive tests, or even eNewsletters are the very base of every single class of mine.

By computing we learnt at school to draw by Paint and to exercise math by games on the Friv platform.

Nowadays, teaching and learning should move towards project based learning, where students are engaged in activities which require them to tap on various skills such as literacy, collaborative, communicative, mathematical, digital, creative and problems-solving skills. Computing can serve as a good bridge to link subjects together and to make learning more relevant and meaningful. One way how I integrated computing with maths is through the use of coding with the roamers called Pro-Bots. Pupils had to learn how to engage in coding or forming basic algorithms to programme the robots to move a particular path, or to solve certain given tasks, like drawing shapes or lettters. In this sense, computing was used to allow pupils to collaborate, visualise a path, form a coherent set of instructions, engage in prediction, create and evaluate the properties of polygons and angles, and finally check finally their coding

Teachers in primary schools in France teach all subjects, so it is a perfect environment to work on interdisciplinary projects.

We use computers to research, produce documents online (blogs, etc.), send emails to feed our projects.

The computing curriculum in France will be expected to next school year 2016: now it can be combined to French languages activities, mathematical data processing (math) without really saying that we teach code!

I'm really waiting for 2016! I would like to develop activities with robotics, 3D printers that interest ... many students in my class ...

I was present only to assist with technical matters, when the teacher asked a student to do "special" homework. The challenge here was that the teacher has two years in the same classroom, massive class and some very advanced students in it too. So whilst the prevailing current is to accommodate those students who are lagging behind, most of the gifted children miss out on special attention due to lack of resources, namely teacher - pupil ratio. This teacher asked one of the gifted kids to create an online interactive quiz with questions from the geography that were covered that week. The student could use any device that has internet access to answer the questions. It was a brilliant experience enjoyed by all. And they learned more than they realised as to them it was just a game...

I am not a teacher but I think the best project using computer ressources could be creating a blog for the classroom updated with all the projects made and to be made during the year. My preschooler has a "cahier de vie" ( journal of the classroom) where the teacher explains what the classroom did the past weeks withs pictures. At primary school, they could do the digital version of this journal, it's a wide project that can create a link between computing and history, mathematics, arts, sciences, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
There are always a link between computers and curricular areas.

For example:

Search on the web for History;

Graphics in a spreadsheet for maths;

Text Document for languages;

drawings for arts;

presentations for expression .

Work with collaboration of other teachers that's the best way to link!

When we make a wiki to work on a  Project, for example “ Local History”;

when we make a glog in glogster to show everyone our Country;

when we create an e-journal and the students write articles;

all these works link computing with other subjects.

"Computing is everywhere."

Computng is not taught as a standalone subject in my country at the primary level, rather the emphasis via ICT is on integrating computer skills into the other subject areas.

For example, last year my class used computers to complete a simple project. Students were required to do internet research and create a Word file with their findings. Also students were assigned to use Word to type their names and design it using differerent fonts and colours. I believe that computer skills such as using a word processor, creating simple powerpoint presentations through group collaboration can be effective in integrating these skills in other subject areas.

As described in the last module, computer skills in norway are by curriculum described to be a basic skill in each of the subjects in primary school, just like reading, writing and math is considered to be. I think a lot of teachers skip this as much as they can, but it should be used repeatedly for different tasks and in a way were they get to repeatedly practice skills linked to the different subjects. Some part of computer science is also part of science class or can be linked to other goals in science.

Since we don’t have compulsory computing subject in Slovenia (Radovan), we are trying linking subjects on optional subject in 4th, 5th and 6th class. It is possible (desirable) for students to work on projects they have to do for other subjects. If not, there is number of possibilities to link students hobbies and computing – starting by presentation of a hobby with multimedia elements and web applications.

As I can see it and how I work with computing and ICT it is not a singled out subject but a crosscurricucular tool to get a higher/deeper understand and connect “the dots” between the different subjects. I work with computing/ICT in languages (it is a language of it’s own), math, science, craftmanship, P.E, and so on. It is an interesting and challenging way of working with the subjects and towards our objectives.

Last year we made the project of educational robotics in the fifth class of primary school. The project's name was "Sunflower-robot". In this project there were links between different subjects such as Italian, Science, Art and Imagine, technology ... Students have studied the legend of sunflower, drew, studied the sunflower plant, planted the seeds. They have studied the sunflower art and so on. Then they built a robot- sunflower with lego Mindstorm and have to programmed it. The robot had to turn to sun light.

In my ICT classes I teach my students how to format a document using a word processor such as MS Word. I teach them how to use spreadsheets using a software such as MS Excel as well as how to represent data in a chart.

These Knowledges are very important for the other subjects to make good work presentations.

I also guide my students to use some important Web 2.0 tools like PREZI, to do presentations; Google Drive, to organize documents and do a form in a quickly way; Animoto to make a video presentation; Ipiccy to do image processing; WIX to do a site.

Those Web 2.0 tools are also useful to inspire the creativity of the students.

I agree with others: computers should be used in all curricular areas - presentation for biology, data collection, analysis for physic and math, word processing skills with language class, art programs with art etc.

We

explored electricity with Edison

presented data with graphs and spredsheets (math, physic, and sport)

presented data with graphic calculator Desmos

used mind mapping software in different classes as science, technology

used drawing programs like Painter, Paint, Gimp for art projects

shoot and edit videos for chemistry class

composed some music with NoteFlight for music class

used word clouds in language classes

used Padlet in language classes

discovered the stars and constellations (physics class) with different online star maps and we are taking the pictures of the sky and calibrate them on Astronometry.net site

In my opinion computers should be used in all curricular areas. Visual presentations for History and Geography; data collection and analysis for Maths, Science and Physical Education; word processing skills in Languages. With internet connection the possibilities are endless. For my more able students I give them a tablet and ask them to create cross curricular activities using the app Skitch. It is an app which allows the children to take pictures of the environment around them (perhaps the local park) and to compose questions on the screen based on the pictures.

I agree it is very important for children to connect their learning across different subjects.

In my school. 5th graders develop a deep research into a social problem as part of the PYP curriculum. They have to investigate causes, effects and possible solutions for the problem, make interviews and design and action plan. They use Social Studies class for their research, Maths class for organize data, English class to write a short essay and IT to prepare a power point presentation with relevant ideas and a video made in Ivideo presenting the interviews and other photos of the project.

Children enjoy this activity and teachers can work collaborative.

In Estonia every 8.th grader has to do a creative work. And I thought I will present theme: Learning Apps for Preschoolers. Not with LearningApps but with MIT App Creator. Hopefully someone picks that theme.

I also started MIT App Creator´s learning in my class, so they will create an app for calculating - a test.

I think every subject can be related to the computing if there is sutable digital environment- computers, tablets, projectors, touch-screen white boards, internet, etc. As English teachers, who work on eTwinning projects, we use every opportunity to involve digital devices in our work. Our current project is about QR codes and we showed pupils how to download apps for scanning, how to make their own QR codes, how to communicate with their partners, using QR coding. They search the internet when they need information, we help them to communicate with their partners, etc. We have interesting topics to discuss through our English lessons- Halloween, Robin Hood, Bulgarian Mummers, etc. and then I show pupils PowerPoint presentations, videos, films, quizes to represent the stories.

Interesting subject for discussion and sharing ideas and experience. We often use computers in making different projects including different subjects. Latest interesting project I work is for making postcard for saving planeth Earth, it was school project. Firts in mother leanguage (macedonian language) they wrote a short text about Saving planet. Then in art they design postcard and in computer science they designd postcard, wrote the text and save the postcard. Those postcards they upload in our school webpage. It was fun and interesting project activity and students shared a lots of cnoledge with eachother.

Often "box" thinking around computing limits the actual possibilities using computing in school. The effects of using computing in a wider range of teaching or in a context can give more learning and more interesting outcome than originally thought. Using ScratchJr to tell fairytales or stories gives the students more learning than just computing. Stories need to be written, storylines to be created, backgrounds and figures to be found or drawn, and the story itself has to coded into the program.

This year we introduced 4th graders to Lego Mindstorms during our Space and robot project, based on the Wall-E movie. We also learned the 7th graders to use Sploder to create games based on storylines they created, and exchange them with students in Denmark.

They create e-magazines (and examine the pros and cons of digital publications), novels (developing promotional trailers for books), reports (about endangered species) and collections of poems and tongue twisters. Also, they research the attributes of various

First of all I've never taught computing, it means that I don't have any experiences on it. Therefore when I think about computing I guess to analyze a topic, decompose it and create a project, such as a presentation following step by step instructions. Pupils could analyze some recipes, and make a cook algorithm or create a story for a new game, they should design the wallpapers, characters and dialogues, it's link computing with italian, art and english as second language. Of course there are many links to math and science. Computing could be used to teach math procedures or biology sequences such as the heart cycle, they could be a good exercise to understand what the computer science is and how computer softwares work. On the other side this exercise could be useful for pupils with special needs.

# data[].attributes.body
I think each subject should make use of computing. I am very keen on using digital books during my 1st and 2nd grades.

It's always motivation to learn things from other subjects using computer. For instance, trying to animate a story that the students have to read.

I study Computer Science and Biology and everybody is asking me: Is that possible? How does this go together? And I tell them it goes perfectly together. I use everything that I learn in Computer Science in Biology: capturing a video, editing the video, writing scenarios for experiments, not to panic when computer doesn't work in class (the work must go on), creating animations for different contents etc. Students should do the same. A lot of teachers and students are afraid of connecting subjects because they think they won't be able to do it. The key: every teacher is learning their whole life, so they should prepare for teaching everyday that students will have fun while learning something important and useful. We have to support collaboration between teachers. If one teacher doesn't like to link with Computing and the other would like to do to show students the subject in a different way, we have a problem. The teacher of Computing must convince and show him/her why this is good for students.

# data[].attributes.body
All subjects can be linked, students develop simple works with online tools for mother day or father day, but also for other special occasions. Using for example Tagxedo (http://www.tagxedo.com/) or Wordle (http://www.wordl.net). They can work several skills with these small works.

I am very convinced that school subjects should be all connected, you cannot think of knowledge separate. I use many free computer programs for Portuguese educational, math, science, geography. These software have the advantage to train students without boring. I have children in my class tried an experiment with Edmodo and this has affected so many. In his free time from teaching I allow students to play with the computer drawing programs like Tuxpaint.

On my eTwinning projects and Comenius project I have used a lot of different tools and for sure all school subjects can be linking to computing. There are so many different applications and tools that a teacher can choose according to pupils’ age and skills. We have created a website, a blog and others places wher we post our class information.

An application such as Skype allows learners to participate in language learning experiences with native speakers and it also allows for cultural exchanges to take place.

Since we don’t have compulsory computing subject in Slovenia there is a problem to talk about linking with other subjects. We have digital competencies integrated in every curriculum. But the teachers expect that the students will develop the competence in computing classes (which are optional and selected with less and less students every year). The school should decline the differences among students (digital gap) and since the students develop digital competencies only in optional subjects there are majority of students who can walk through the primary school and they didn’t spend a single hour in computer classroom.

Of course computing is naturally connected with all subjects and almost all parts of our lives. But until computing is subordinate subject linking is ussualy done as editing text, making presentations, web pages etc. There are schools and teachers that integrate computing in the right way. They could be a shining example to us.

# data[].attributes.body
It is good to have activities that link different subjects to computing. Computing can be a useful tool to link different subjects to each other. Acording to the curriculum, computing isn't often taught as a separate subject but should be a part of every subject. The problem is coordinating it so that different parts of computing is used. Another problem is that not all teachers are yet engaged in computing. In our new curriculum computing is one of seven competences that should be found in every subject.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's like write and read... When students are programming they are improving their skills to develop something useful. For example, we use Scratch to make interactive advertisements about different topics. Programming will be a way, not a goal.
Finally, I think we are all the time using our own algorithm, not only when we are computing.

"Mamma...., oggi abbiamo avuto il Maestro Benigni!" "Chi?"
"Il Maestro Roberto, sulla LIM! " Ci ha parlato di un grande uomo: Socrate!
Abbiamo visto dei piccoli video, abbiamo scritto, creato delle liste, abbiamo discusso, abbiamo giocato. Insomma, abbiamo imparato perché sono importanti le virtù. Non vedo l'ora che arrivi la settimana prossima..."

Si po' parlare di cose 'serie', giocando e sperimentando. In questo percorso sto parlando con i miei alunni delle virtù. Ho deciso di affrontare questo argomento perché credo che è importante che i ragazzi abbiamo la possibilità di capire cosa è il Bene e come possiamo raggiungerlo concretamente. Ho introdotto il percorso partendo da Socrate con Benigni ma anche spolverando il catechismo per capire il come vedono i cristiani l'educazione alle virtù. Sono stati utili le risorse raccolte nel Padlet che mi servivano come scrivania digitale ( personale e condiviso con i gruppo classe)
Le Virtù Teologali: Fede, Speranza e Carità sono le virtù che riguardano Dio e rendono l'uomo capace di vivere in relazione con la Trinità. Queste virtù a differenza delle virtù cardinali non possono essere acquisite unicamente con lo sforzo umano, ma sono infuse dalla grazie divina.

Le Virtù Cardinali: Prudenza, Giustizia, Fortezza e Temperanza possano essere sia infuse da Dio sia essere acquisite con la pratica.

Sono virtù umane, cardini di una vita dedicata al bene, si acquisiscono con l'educazione,atti coscienti e perseveranti, rinnovati nello sforzo, sono purificate ed elevate dalla grazia divina. Con l'aiuto di Dio formano il carattere e rendono spontanea la pratica del bene. L'uomo virtuoso è felice di praticare le virtù. Le virtù si sviluppano con l'ascolto della Parola di Dio e con la partecipazione ai sacramenti e con l'esercizio." ( Fonte:Catechismo della Chiesa Cattolica)

In alcuni paesi del mondo le scuole si stanno attivando con propri e veri progetti chiamati "Character Training", ovvero l'allenamento del carattere. Questi progetti mi hanno stimolato ad iniziare un nuovo percorso, che ritengo interessante e utile per i nostri ragazzi. Il percorso sarà condiviso con i docenti della classe Quinta a livello interdisciplinare: Italiano-Storia-(Educazione alla Cittadinanza) e Inglese. Nelle prossime settimane cercheremmo di approfondire LE VIRTU' per imparare a praticarli con più consapevolezza.

In questo posto condivideremmo alcuni spunti e qualche tappa della nostra nuova avventura.

Ricreare delle nostre risorse creative prendendo spunto da questi poster sarà un attività nelle prossime lezioni.
magari con un contributo del docente di inglese.

In accordo con l'insegnante di arte e immagine oppure durante un ora di informatica raccogliamo le esperienze e cerchiamo di mettere in atto le nostre capacità creative e/o digitali.

ATTIVITÀ ALTERNATIVA Per chi non ha il computer a casa:

Imitare con l'aiuto di due o tre compagni, un quadro famoso che rappresenta una virtù con simboli (oggetti) e drappi. Ovviamente largo spazio alla creatività.

dei Goti è una piacevole cittadina campana della Valle Caudina, distesa ai piedi del monte Taburno, nella zona di passaggio dal Beneventano al Casertano. La chiesa della Santissima Annunziata custodisce un imponente affresco del Giudizio finale dipinto sulla contro-facciata in stile tardo gotico, probabilmente nel secondo decennio del Quattrocento.

Le virtù sono rappresentate da sette bionde fanciulle dotate di aureola e corona sulla testa, capelli lunghi fino al fondo schiena, abiti a tinta unita di vari colori e lunghi fino ai piedi; con lunghe forche schiacciano a terra altrettante fanciulle, simili a loro nell'aspetto ma prive di corona e con un peso al collo. Le sette ragazze coronate simboleggiano le tre virtù teologali (fede, speranza e carità) e le quattro virtù cardinali (giustizia, fortezza e temperanza; la quarta è l'umiltà che sostituisce la prudenza). Le sette ragazze sconfitte rappresentano i sette vizi capitali (superbia, avarizia, lussuria, ira, gola, invidia e accidia). Un diavolo trascina in catene un gruppo di dannati elegantemente vestiti e li precipita tra le fiamme.

Quando navighiamo nel web la nostra vita continua. Possiamo perfino incontrare persone, condividere materiale, parlare...

Siamo consapevoli che anche il nostro comportamento nel web ha delle conseguenze. La Rete è un luogo che come tutti i luoghi può contribuire alla nostra crescita in positivo ma anche in modo negativo. Non soltanto, tutti abbiamo la possibilità di poter intervenire nel mondo del Web. Papa Francesco dice che Internet è un dono di Dio, in questo caso diventa un dono da custodire e da fare crescere.

ORE 13.10 "Mamma...., oggi abbiamo avuto il Maestro Benigni!" "Chi?" "Il Maestro Roberto, sulla LIM! " Ci ha parlato di un grande uomo: Socrate! Abbiamo visto dei piccoli video, abbiamo scritto, creato delle liste, abbiamo discusso, abbiamo giocato. Insomma, abbiamo imparato perché sono importanti le virtù. Non vedo l'ora che arrivi la settimana prossima..."

All projects now can use computer related skills. For searching information, we have search machines, for mapping information (organising-ranking), we have mind-mapping tools, for producing we have apps and tools depending on the product we want. I have used such tools but mainly in etwinning programmes. Students have used voicethread and padlet, eg, for sharing their ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
We used computing when we needed to make a movie for one of the projects we have been involved in (a social project, against discrimination of gypsies). In this context, computing was just a tool, that helped us communicate our message. It involved many other knowledge and competencies, many other subjects. As an added value for the project, my students have learned how to film, edit and share a movie for the contest and for their future needs too.

Computing can be associated with all school subjects. For instance, students can study animals in Environmental Studies by producing a website or a video related to this particular theme.

Everything can be modeled and ore presented by the use of ICTs.

Here is an useful applications set where the teacher and/or student can create a crossword on any subject, orginize an quick quize-competition or multyuser game. The most butiful is that students can participate in the process of creating apps.

A class website can be created easily and in most cases freely and it allows classes to share what has been created or undertaken in all aspects of the school curriculum. I have done this with my class for the last two years and found it to be very successful.
An application such as Skype allows learners to participate in language learning experiences with native speakers and it also allows for cultural exchanges to take place.

We have used the Eclipse Crossword to create crosswords using words and definitions about water taken from either the Greek Language textbook or the lessons relevant to water use , plants etc in our Environmental Education textbook. We have also linked history with computing by producing ppt presentation about important religious sights in Greece. Another application that we use for both assessment and feedback is this of Socrative , where pupils can set their own questions for their classmates related to any subject in the curriculum we choose. I think that in primary school you can actually link computing ( not in the sense of programming but of exploring and using several applications) with every subject of our curriculum.

Geography: Locations of Countries game. Create a map with gaps in it which you have to fill with the correct country.

History: Similar to above but use a timeline instead with various facts.

English: Create a character from a book you are studying and create a number of characteristics that move around the screen. It's the players job to 'eat' the words that describe the character correctly. The character gets sick if you 'eat' the wrong ones.

I am very convinced that school subjects should be all connected, you can not think of knowledge separate. I use many free computer programs per italiano educational, math, science, geography. These software have the advantage to train students without boring. I have children in my class tried an experiment with Edmodo and this has affected so many. In his free time from teaching I allow students to play with the computer drawing programs like PAINT.

In a primary teachers group I can breath eventually the smell of a teaching/ learning process NOT based on strict curriculum and boundaries among subjects, but a real attention to learners needs in terms of competences building. Computing, informatics are a tool to improve mental processes and creativity. I'd underline how much working on computing enhance creativity and those mental processes that help our pupils to think outside the box. It's a discussion already done in an eTwinning PDW in Billund, last year, where explored creative use of technology and engineering. In this course there are other participants to that experience.

I strongly believe that using a lot of different applications of the same purpose category is a waste of time and brain. It is a fact that in developed countries the aid of computing machines are a routine necessity not just a luxury to enjoy. So the linking to other subjects in terms of usability is inevitable. But computing is about problem solving and coding. In primary school apart from the pupils being able to use popular applications for common tasks I cannot push them to design algorithms and coding implementation for the sake of other educational fields. This happens because they lack the advanced knowledge in math or physics and language fluency. For example, I personally don't know how to design code patterns from scratch to produce music without using anything ready-made from a library because I 've never studied music theory. In addition, preparing an application for another subject requires too much time and concentration for kids of age till 11. Fortunately, we 're having a good time when coding to shape funny dialogs, give motion or deliver useful presentations.

The object of use can be a software application, website, book, tool, machine, process, vehicle, or anything a human interacts with. A usability study may be conducted as a primary job function by a usability analyst or as a secondary job function by designers, technical writers, marketing personnel, and others.

Computing is so universal, that linking it to other subjects is not dificult. Simple powerpoint presentation with added costum animations requre some knowledge of coding.

Since I teach foreign language, I would like to write with my students little programs to practice grammar related topics.

For me ICT and computing in education is primarily tools we can and should use in all subjects. We must not make ICT in to a specific subject. When we link subjects and skills with ICT it will be a powerful tool that could enhance learning. Construction of websites, using resources online, playing educational games and exploring tools for collaboration and presentation are all ways to include ICT in education. This can be done in all subjects cross the curriculum.

I have been using Edmodo and my pupils are forced to use English language.

The easiest subject to link with computing is maths. A lot of different mathematical concepts can be introduced by coding (e.g. coordinates, angles).
I teach English as a foreing language, so I want my students to use English as much as possible. I also want them to be creators, not only passive computer users. That's why I present them different tools (such as storybird, powtoon, pixton, glogster, prezi, voki, learningapps), so they can use English in practice. Thanks to eTwinning, our activities become meaningful, as they are parts of international projects.

# data[].attributes.body
Computing can be linked to all subject and develop a lot of disciplinary and transversal skills.

I use only free resources. I try to work with cloud computing, so students can continue at home the job done at school.

In my Padlet I put a list of resource that I use whit my students

Here our site: you can find many project and tools.

At school, interdisciplinary work with other teachers to share resources and digital tools with the aim that students learn in a fun and engaging way.Here I mention some of which use more because of the practical and simple to use. So we have:

Glogster

Glogster is a web 2.0 tool founded in 2007 to create interactive digital Glogs or posters. The Glog is presented as an image with interactive and multimedia content in which users can interact with them. Glogster provides an environment to design interactive posters, enabling the incorporation of audiovisual, iconic and verbal content in a single page attractive and motivating way. Besides these posters they can be shared with others, export or save on your computer.

Tagxedo Tagxedo is an online tool for work that allows us to create our own tag clouds from text or a list of words that we provide to you, or the URL of a particular website. It is a very simple application to use and helps us to quickly design a custom cloud and ready to print tags for use in a presentation or shared on a website or blog. Selects the layout, font, text orientation, colors and, most notably, the shape of the cloud, for which we can upload an image. Prioritizes the words by frequency of appearance, thus giving a size in the corresponding cloud with its importance within the text, in addition to link and unify similar words and discard those common, weightless. The images thus created can then be saved locally in JPEG or PNG format.

Powtoon

Powtoon is a web tool for creating animations that can be shared on YouTube or through a website.

CmapTools

CmapTools What sets apart is, first, the possibility of creating concept maps that incorporate web attachments or links to other pages. Therefore, schemes created with this tool allow you to interact with your content through a browser. Second, the sharing concept maps and resources over the Internet. There are public servants which can accommodate the schedules and attachments to them.

In the classroom the pupils ask me of the to implement a game, this is thing fashion in the computer classroom. So I ask them: do they think a game? They answer a thing of special with many objects in moving. So I answer, a thing of complex. Well the game is a complex problem and for resolve complex things, we have necessity of to know the history of the subject. So this to tell as the game is did and how the parts are linked. The process of breaking down a problem into smaller manageable parts is known as decomposition. Decomposition helps us solve complex problems and manage large projects.

Decomposing problems into their smaller parts is not unique to computing: it’s pretty standard in engineering, design and project management.

In this to do the pupils learn the approach to making a computer games that necessity of decomposition into: plot, characters and setting. They might then further decompose the characters into actions and apparence. The setting might be decomposed into obstacles, scoring objects and background.
I think that the computing is part of complex activity in the school and then on links across subjects.
