Introduction

This is a blog for dissemination of the activities performed within the scope of an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership project. The name of the project is Future Unique To Us, Robotics and E-Learning. It was prepared by five schools from different countries.  The name of the schools are ; 1.Agrupamento de Escolas de Vila Real de Santo Antonio (Portugal) 2.OOU JOAKIM KRCHOVSKI Kriva Palanka(North Macedonia) 3.Szkola Podstawowa nr 5 w Siedlcach( Poland) 4.Siauliu Medelyno progimnazija(Lithuania) 5.Mursallı Sabahat Oguz Ortaokulu(Turkey) The project was submitted to Portugal National Agency and it was approved for grant. With this project, we will focus on three topics; Web 2.0 Tools, Coding and Robotics.  We are going to organize 6 mobilities. Three of them will be Teacher Training Mobility and three of them will be Student Mobility;  In the first mobility, teachers from each school are going to have training about Web 2.0 Tools. After mobility, they are going to organize Web 2.0 Too

Every child uses smartphones, tablets most of their time. They mostly play games,surf the net,use social media.They don’t produce anything. They use them just for fun.This has a negative effect on their creativity and productivity.Students have many mental abilities. As schools, we should direct their skills to more productive activities such as code writing. Coding helps them develop their creativity, makes them more productive users in technology. According to PISA 2016 report about maths success,the first seven countries are from Asia.Maths literacy is very low in European countries.We aim to improve students’ mathematical skills with coding. According to Lewis&Shah(2012), positive relation was found between coding and maths success.Coding will help our students develop analytical and algorithmic thinking skills and increase their maths success.  According to Minuto et al.(2015), programming education was found to be effective in students’productivity and students see these meth
