The project involved the collaborative online research on waste minimization and community-based research on recycling practices, as the main goal [and outcome] was the introduction of recycling in the Community by the 3rd grade students!!! The project promoted, thus, project-based learning as well as personalized and individual learning via the "One-to-One Kolossi laptop initiative" introduced in my class this year. Parallel goals were the development of (a) critical thinking, (b) argumentative skills, (c) active learning, (d) research skills, (e) communicative skills, (f) creativity and (g) collaboration, through the use and exploitation of multiple ICT tools and applications.
