«Το Όραμα του Μουράτ Β’ για τη Θεσσαλονίκη»: ένα εκπαιδευτικό-πολιτιστικό πρόγραμμα σχεδιασμένο για το «Νέο Σχολείο»

Abstract

In our days the creation of a “New School” is developed. This school will be open in ideas, in the society, in the knowledge and in the future, using every modern tool in order to extend the horizons of each student, abolishing the borders of knowledge, enriching the school life with activities of educational game and creative work. Following the above philosophy the educational-cultural program “The vision of Murat B’ for Thessalonica” was drawn. It constitutes an original way of approaching the history and monuments of Thessalonica in the years of Ottoman domination. It is addressed in students of the elementary and secondary education and its concept was based on dramatization of historical scenario and role-playing, supported by computer applications. The combination of modern learning techniques and various applications of ICT contributed in the creation of an innovative program as regards cultural actions in the “New School”. This program, taking advantage of teleconference in the context of ODL, could be applied to a network of schools.
