What lessons can others learn from your project? (max. 1500 characters): 

My activities from the blogs are a form of creative communication who aims expression in an original manner and facilitates better understanding of the message. A creative community primarily means to think creatively. Whether it is in relationships with colleagues or in family contexts, the quality of communication with others depends on the quality of thought. The teacher is the artist that shape and stimulates creative thinking child it depends on the children’s development. The contemporary education must be adapted to the age of children to stimulate their interest and to achieve goals. In my opinion, this means the combination of some elements of the game, good cheer, with useful information about the life and activities of children everywhere. When students learn differently, become more creative, more motivated, aware that they can claim their work, they can cooperate with others that have different learning opportunities in new contexts.

Background Information

Barriers and Solutions (max. 1000 characters): 
Maybe we have problems but it is important to determinate the influence of communication on the development of creative educational environment and we must think how to do a positive influence to the development of students skills when use the creative communication in different situations.
Future plans and wish list (max. 750 characters): 
I can say that I noticed that both exercises and character creator games used in school and extracurricular activities, stimulate the creative potential of children. I appreciated the original responses, spontaneity, free expression of their opinions. We felt that if we remain indifferent conduct participatory and creative as is inhibits demoralize the child, decreasing the flexibility and originality. Positive feedback throughout the activities, determined affective states balms, and mobilization of subjects in solving tasks. From this experience I noticed that small students has creative potential that integrates cognitive experience, operational and informational mechanisms triggered and sustained by the necessities of knowledge, self-expression, independence, cognitive attitude begins to crystallize and I will continue with a new blog for fourth grade.

Using video portals, we show true examples of our educational practice, explain how to accomplish quality and successful interaction between the teacher and the pupils and the pupils with one another.
Our examples represent proven, healthy, successful ways of combining technology with all other educational methods, teaching tools and techniques- We proved that children using ICT can bring wonderful effects in terms of achieving goals in all school subjects.

We proved that even small children can collaborate, explore, create and direct the educational process. They can create even though they can’t read and write.
We are here not only to encourage teachers to collaborate, exchange materials and ideas, accept and adjust to the contemporary trends, but also
to give parents a chance have an insight in the work of their children through video recordings of their activities.

Thanks to the Internet even younger children (3-5) that live in rural areas where’s no kindergartens can learn with their parents from home. Children in hospitals can see our educational materials and learn.

Background Information

Barriers and Solutions (max. 1000 characters): 
The project so far is done or strictly voluntary basis. Although the project is supported by all relevant national educational policy makers, and general community, and the project do not need significant funding, its continuation is really directly related with the enthusiasm of its main contributor. In order for project to grow, and wider its impact it has to be financial self-sustainable. For that purpose initial funding for developing facilities which will bring possibility for commercialization of some services offered by the project is needed. Another possibility is to further develop this project in a for of TV broadcast that can have income from commercials
Future plans and wish list (max. 750 characters): 
The project can grow in two directions: The first one is building of the rural facility that can accommodate pupils from different schools (for certain fee) which will enable them to learn and interact with each other during the schools excursions. The second one is to produce the education TV program and share part of he commercial income.
