11. USE OFJOOMAGIN THECLASSROOM
During our Erasmus+ project „IT or not IT“ students learned how to work with Joomag. They worked
in international teams to create a magazine about their stay in the Czech Republic. Samples of their
work can be found here: www.joomag.com/magazine/erasmus-/0674091001466061725
We found that Joomagcan make lessons more interestingand fun. This digital tool can be used when
teaching various subjects, in cross-curricular subjects, for example, Geography+English, Czech +
History, etc. or in project learning. Students can use Joomagfor work on individual projects or
collaboratively in teams. In our project students have learned to coopearatein a team, divide tasks,
organise their work, be more creative and independent and develop language and writing skills.
Working with Joomaghelps students develop new skills and digital competencies which they will find
useful for their future.
