Project Description
Description Frase (max. 500 characters): 
Conoscere l'hip hop e riflettere sulle sue potenzialità  in campo educativo vuol dire entrare in contatto con una risorsa preziosa per ragazzi alla ricerca di efficaci canali di autonarrazione.
Project Summary (max. 2000 characters): 
Tutti i giovani ascoltano la musica sempre e ovunque. Per questo, si è pensato di realizzare brani musicali rap in quanto strumento privilegiato di interazione con loro e tra di loro, che hanno veicolato conoscenze, valori per un modo orignale di fare cittadinanza attiva. Consapevoli che nel periodo adolescenziale il gruppo è determinante per la costruzione delle personalità , per la loro maturazione, abbiamo voluto mettere al centro del progetto il Gruppo. Il gruppo sostitutisce infatti l'autorità  dell'adulto, trasformando le relazioni tra l'adolescente e l'insegnante. Non è pi๠solo l'insegnante, ma soprattutto il gruppo che facilita e promuove l'apprendimento. Le tecniche utilizzate nella realizzazione del progetto sono state il Brainstorming ed il Cooperative learning, perché si caratterizzano per la valorizzazione di competenze multiple e di stili diversi nella produzione di idee e di soluzioni condivise. I ragazzi hanno quindi creato una pagina dedicata al loro gruppo-classe nel social network Facebook nel quale interagire e dove vengono pubblicati dalle insegnanti i materiali, i link importanti al progetto e dove è stato pubblicato il questionario di autovalutazione. I testi sono stati scritti dai ragazzi sotto al guida degli insegnanti di lettere. I ragazzi sono stati chiamati ad affrontare compiti comuni, proponendo ciascuno le proprie idee, le proprie esperienze, le proprie modalità  intellettive, le proprie competenze, mettendosi in gioco in un piano di cooperazione e non semplicemente di collaborazione.

What lessons can others learn from your project? (max. 1500 characters): 
Siamo di fronte ad un gap generazionale tra docenti e studenti riguardante la lingua, interessi, modi di apprendimento, che deve essere colmato. I motivi che oggi rendono il lavoro con i mezzi di comunicazione essenziali sono sia di carattere sociale che culturale. Per questo consigliamo di utilizzare l'hip hop, un genere musicale vicino ai ragazzi, per motivarli a definire i contenuti e per inviare un messaggio agli altri. Non serve molto per realizzare un video musicale Videocamera HD, Telo per effetto chromakey (se non si dispone di un luogo adatto, noi abbiamo utilizzato la sala chromakey del Centro Multimediale di Terni) apparecchiature per registrazione audio, LIM con Pc, Internet, software per montaggio video

Project Description
Description Frase (max. 500 characters): 
Students from all continents join together to reproduce one of the science's 10 most beautiful experiments of all time: Eratosthenes' measurement of the Earth's circumference.
Project Summary (max. 2000 characters): 
This project combines the oldest science experiment and the newest ICT collaborative tools.l'hip–ˆ_THE_HISTORICAL_ERATOSTHENES_MEASUREMENT_(200_years_BC) : At noon on the summer solstice in the Egyptian town now called Aswan, the sun hovers straight overhead. When he heard about this fact, Eratosthenes, the librarian at Alexandria , realized he had the information he needed to estimate the circumference of the planet. On the same day and time, he measured shadows in Alexandria, finding that the solar rays there had a bit of a slant, deviating from the vertical by about 7°. Assuming the earth is spherical, its circumference spans 360°. So if the two cities are 7° apart, that would constitute 7/360 th of the full circle "” about 1/50 th. Estimating from travel time that the towns were 5,000 stadia apart, Eratosthenes concluded that the earth must be 50 times that size "” 250,000 stadia in girth (40,000km l'hip–ˆ_THE_MODERN_HANDS_ON_EXPERIMENT :Since sept 2000, thousands pupils have measured the Earth's circumference from their classroom. The pupils learn how to observe the shadows and the motion of the Sun in the sky, they build their own measuring instruments and they exchange their results with other schools through Internet. Several Web 2.0 platforms are used for this collaboration: The French (http://www.lamap.fr/eratos) and US (http://ciese.org/curriculum/noonday/) hands-on website, and the European eTwinning twinspace (http://new-twinspace.etwinning.net/web/p43838 ). Other measures are archived on public websites (http://eratosthenes2010.free.fr/). The last step in a series of measures are videoconferences during the autumnal and spring equinoxes, and summer solstice.

Objectives and Innovative Aspects
What are the specific objectives of the project and what are the instruments used to achieve them?: 
Many subjects are seen in a ludic point of view. â_HISTORY_&_GEOGRAPHY_ : with ancient Egypt, Eratosthenes, and the localization of the partners. ASTRONOMY: the shadows show the trajectory of the sun during the day and how this course changes with the seasons. â_PHYSICS_: light and shadow are at the heart of the project. Experiments are done on the field, then simulations in the classroom reproduce what has been observed. â_TECHNOLOGY_ : The instruments : gnomons, plumb line, air level, set square, quadrants, are designed, made, tested and adjusted by the pupils. â_MATHEMATICS_&_GEOMETRY_: The pupils have to use parallels, angles, triangles, circles, length differences. â_ORAL_&_WRITTEN_LANGUAGE_, are used in every activity, especially for experimental process : the pupils make hypothesis, design experiments, observations and then give conclusions, either orally or in a day-to-day log. â_ICT_: thanks to the Internet, the pupils make documentary researches, and discuss with other pupils to compare and exchange the results of their measures and calculations. â–ˆ_PLASTIC_ARTS_: This project gives the opportunity to show one's creativity: drawings showing Eratosthenes history, models of the experiments, calligraphy with hieroglyphs and Greek alphabet. ╠═The fact that the primary school pupils have only a slight mathematical knowledge seems to be a problem, but it is possible to discover these notions in a different way, more concrete, with paper, templates, paper rulers, graduated circles, and strings: the pupils do not have to prove the properties of a figure, but they simply have to check them and see what they can do with. Some children with school problems discover through these activities the opportunity to show their inventiveness, their resourcefulness, skillfulness, as well as their sense of mutual aid: these qualities, acknowledged by their peers, will give them more self-confidence and a desire to continue with other fields.
Results
Describe the results achieved by your project How do you measure (parameters) these. (max. 2000 characters): 
More than the result of calculation of the Earth's circumference, more than the achievement of disciplinary objectives, the use of collaborating web 2.0 tools that enabled students all around the world to work on a planetary project is the most exciting result. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp5HH54FxyM (march 2011) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6f18j3AeiM (june 2011)
How many users interact with your project monthly and what are the preferred forms of interaction? (max. 500 characters): 
The project follows a seasonal schedule, depending on the movement of the Earth. 4 appointments are the 2 equinoxes & 2 solstices. The spring equinox is the one that brings together the most participants because of school calendars. At each "appointment", finalized by a videoconference between 10 and 20 schools are met. The number of students per school ranged from 20 to 30 students for Europeans to more than 150 in India when this event is associated with a celebration of science.
