Final Survey

First I want to say that I really enjoyed my time as an Erasmus student and especially the time here in the Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal. For me it was one of the best adventures I have done until now and I am really sad that the time ran so fast and that it is almost over.

In the course "Digital Storytelling" we learned a lot about digital stories and also how to create them by ourselves. We worked a lot with the computers and I liked that because I never worked with this tools we used in the course and it was something new for me. In the first lesson we created our own blog and during the weeks here in Setúbal we continued working on it.We talked about "what is digital storytelling and what exactly is a digital story?" and started a little research. After that we talked about our countries and we found out that all this countries are more different than we first thought. In one lesson we just talked about the biggest problems in our countries and this was my favorite class because it was very interesting for me to hear.

 In the end of the course we created our own digital story. First we worked on the stories, for that we picked a random photo (the teacher brought them with her)and wrote a story with integrating the photo we picked. After we finished our stories the teacher showed us how to work with the app: wevideo, to make our own digital stories. I drawed my story for the video with paint and than I recorded my voice during telling my story. In the end I put all together and the result was my digital story. this was really funny for me.

I learned a lot in this course and it was totally interesting for me to work on my own blog. It was also really nice to work with so may different cultures and especially working with the Brasilien students. I would totally recommend this course to the next Erasmus students because it was one of my favorite couses here in the IPS. And I am sure that I can definitely use this new knowledge for my future works.

Reflection- What triggers students to create ePortfolios?

What triggers students to create ePortfolios? International seminar to share innovative Europan practices General overfew: The seminar started with some welcoming words from Pedro Dominguinhos the President of the Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal. He showed us the schedule of the Seminar and introduced the different visitors to us. After that Ana Luisa Oliveira Pires and Marja Laurikaninen explained the EEP project a little bit.  Schedual: “What students want?” was the first part of the presentation and it was very interesting for me.   They interviewed a lot of students about this topic and also worked with them on this seminar. Some of the examples came from Ireland and it was interesting to see how the Irish students are thinking about this topic. Most of the interviewed students were talking positive about it and they think it is very useful for their education. I really like the idea of “progressing construction of learning” and I also think that ...

Reflection of the video

Video: Jermila´s Story A step forward: Jermila was the oldest of 13 kids and her mother was 13 when she was pregnant with her (she always said that 13 was her magic number). They where poor and Jermila started to steal some things from grocery stores. When she told her mother she wasn´t angry with her. Instead of that she took the things and went back to the store to get the money for the food and gave some of the money to Jermila. Jermila also started to steal from the mall next to her house. She returned all of the things to get the money for that and buy some food for her family becuase they didn´t have enought food for all of the family members. She was hiding the rest of the money from her parents.  One night when she was walking on the streets, a guy grap her hand and put a knife into her throught. She tryed to talk him out of that, but she didn´t won. After that she ran away from anybody and because nobody supported her, her crimes got bigger until she went to the p...

"What are the problems in my country?"

The biggest problem in Austria at the moment is I think that so many people are trying to come to the country and hoping to start a better life. Most of the people who are coming are of course refugees, people who are escaping from their own countries because of war, danger and fear. Mostly the reasons of the wars are religion or other political reasons.Very often these people have lost everything they had and the only thing they could keep is their hope of a better life or at least a life without fear. The real problem in this situation is that there are more and more people coming every single day but we don´t have enough supplies and especially money to support all these people. Moreover most of the people who are coming plan to stay in austria forever what is not possible because of the missing workplaces.   Another problem from the same topic, witch in my opinion is even more tough than the first one is that we can not decide anymore witch of the refugees really nee...
