The target group is all the teachers and students in the district and province, starting from students in the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades. Student groups collaborate in learning areas on relevant themes and reveal the results they obtain in an integrated manner. Prototypes, eMagazines - eBrochures - posters - videos are produced with the help of digital materials and visual designs including web tools. Groups present their work to other classmates in the present area. Process evaluations (formative evaluation) are carried out, including peer evaluations, until the process is completed. This process can take approximately 3 or 4 weeks. The teacher cooperates by meeting with other group teachers.
To the benefit of teachers, ETKİLab is on its way to becoming a professional development and sharing area for the school. Apart from the FCL strategy, teachers organize eTwinning, Erasmus, field and subject-based training with the aim to accelerate transformation within the school ecosystem.
Many types of information technologies are used including web 2.0 tools, such as Kahoot - Google Forms - Padlet - Google Slides - Google Document - Google Spreadsheets. Also software such as Photoshop, after effect, Arduino ide, Tinkercad, mblock, Javascript etc. are included in the processes to ensure the planning of the processes and the development of output products. In addition, depth is provided on research topics by watching 3D videos using VR glasses and student mobile devices. Arduino, Raspery, MicroBit, Microcontroller sets are used in project development processes. Furthermore, designs are prepared with Tinkercad for 3D modeling and printed out with 3D printers. Green screen videos are shot with cameras. Computers in ETKİLab are used at every stage, especially in the investigate and develop areas. Apart from this, many robot sets are used in line with the interests and abilities of students.
