Susanna's Erasmus+ Experience in Malta

After a nice breakfast with such a lovely sea view at the hotel, I quickly walked to Alpha School.  My classmates come from Poland, Croatia, Bulgaria and Hungary, which I quite enjoy, since I have not personally met that many people from these countries before. Here at Alpha School I hope to improve my skills working with Interactive Whiteboards and creative technology in the classroom.  Today we focused mainly on Nearpod. That's an application that I personally like a lot since it combines many elements. For instance , instead of doing a powerpoint presentation in MS office, a quiz in Kahoot and and a drawing activity in Paint, I can simply use Nearpod. What I also really enjoy about it, is its simplicity. It doesn't take too much time to create a lesson. Also I got to know Google classroom, which was also quite interesting to me as we are working with Microsoft Teams at our school.  After school I strolled around St. Paul's Bay and watched the beautiful sunset. ...

Hello! My name is Susanna Vogel. I come from Germany and I work at the Bilingual Primary School "Altmark" in Stendal. I am currently doing a two-week Erasmus+ program on the topics of creative technology in the classroom and teaching on the interactive whiteboard. It is taking part at Alpha School in St. Paul's Bay in the first two weeks of August 2022. Not having been on a flight for quite some time because of Covid, I must admit to being a bit nervous. New airport in Berlin, unknown airport on Malta ... but everything went totally fine =)! When I arrived at Buggiba, St. Paul's Bay offered a warm welcome with a nice firework because of a Feast. I am staying at Gillieru Harbour Hotel which is just 250m away from Alpha School. It is surrounded by the sea and so, so many boats.    Gillieru  A quick walk around the harbour was all I was capable to do after the long journey.
