3.2 The didactic course: tools and terms

# data[].attributes.body
Tell us three things you discovered from watching the videos of Ana Hoskins, Helena Capela, and Melpomeni Dimoulka and that you can apply in your classroom.

-I always use ICT tools especially padlet and popplet
-i believe in discovery learning method
- I believe it is important the collaboration with other subjects' colleagues for a multidisciplinary science based approach.
-Inquiry learning method is also important
- practical examples, practical activities and the use of stellarium are always useful

Imagine you want to tell a friend about the place you are at this moment. Which information would you give to your friend?

Nowadays google maps, a mobile phone and GPS are strong enough to determine efficiently  the location.

2.2 Some historical facts related to navigation

# data[].attributes.body
One of the most historical facts related to navigation in relation to my culture and history, the Greek one, is the discovery  of the Antikythera mechanism.
The Antikythera mechanism is one of the most valuable findings of antiquity. Discovered in 1900 in a shipwreck near Antikythera in depth between 40-60 meters below sea level.   This finding probably built in the 2nd century BC, while the sinking took place for the first half of the 1st century BC
The astrolabe or computer as otherwise named this mechanism resembles a watch, consisting of a series of toothed sprockets and it is the oldest surviving system composed of gears. Made of bronze, with thirty gears moving into ten axes, the Antikythera mechanism has attracted the interest of researchers - scientists.
The use of the Antikythera mechanism is believed that it helped in astronomical observations and served the sailors to be oriented. It was not a simple astrolabe and researchers are trying to unravel the secrets of this machine.

2.1 Basic concepts on celestial navigation

# data[].attributes.body
In this module we will deepen our knowledge on the history of navigation, highlighting the historical and cultural background that set the stage for the scientific progress and technological inventions we enjoy today and which will be advancing in the future.

We will address particular concepts related to the movement of the Sun during the day and the movement of stars and planets in the night sky. We will also be talking about cardinal directions, latitude and longitude concepts, and coordinate systems, understanding how stars can be used to measure latitude of a certain location.

Module 1, 1.4. What is archaeoastronomy?

# data[].attributes.body
Advances in navigation reached the heights of today by the contributions of numerous civilizations. Share in the Padlet below an example of archaeoastronomy (for example, a building) in your country and tell us how you would use it to teach a lesson in your subject.

As a teacher of  ancient Greek language, I love the etymology of words. And in this word there are two parts: "archaeo" that  means something old and "astronomy"  that means the desire of exploring the stars.
In order to teach my students i would choose the mythical ship of the Argo, a stunning copy of which constructed  in accordance with the descriptions of the ancient Greek poets,  located in  the port of Volos, one of the largest cities of Greece.

Why talk about navigation? We would like to invite you to post an image you identify with navigation and explain why

I think that an astrolabe was the main instrument for the long time journeys at the past. With its help the navigators could measure the height of the stars above the horizon and to determine accurately the position of the stars in the sky.
