IIS Vittorio Emanuele II
Naples - ITALY

Background and Experience

Vittorio Emanuele II
Institute is a technical and vocational school with three different 5-year courses, one based on administration, marketing and languages, one based on ICT commercial promotion and advertising and the third one based on  social studies.

The school population is approximately of 900 students, 100 teachers and 20 enployees. The school is equipped with several computer labs, a science lab, two large gymnasiums and outdoor sports spaces, which allow a number of extra-curricular optional activities, like cineforum, theater performances, folk dance, ICT and foreign languages training.

The bulk of students at Vittorio Emanuele II (aged 14 to 20) come from a working-class environment, which has traditionally suffered from a lack in opportunity in southern Italy. The institute operates in an area with a high socio-economic disadvantage and at high risk of drop-out, so the school represents the only real opportunity for growth and practice of active citizenship.

Activities and experience  in the areas relevant for this project 

In the last years, “Vittorio Emanuele II” Institute, thanks to government/EU  funds,  is completely renewing  its digital equipment (wireless, Internet connection,  computers and IWB  in each classroom, modern multimedia labs...). 

Unfortunately, only a part of our teachers use virtual classrooms and interactive whiteboard in their daily teaching. The rest of the staff goes on using traditional teaching methodology but something is changing, also thanks to projects like this.

The innovation process is ongoing, running this project gave us a creative urge to experiment with new learning pathways and test different assessment strategies and tools.
The course prevalently involved in this project is based on web design studies and most part of the teachers are applying digital teaching methodologies in their everyday work.
We are developing a well articulated programm about digital storytelling, 2D/3D design and a MakerLab dedicated to 3D print and Educational Robotic, too. 

This year, our school has successfully participated in the "Olympics of Robotics", organized by the Ministry of Education and the University, with a prototype that has a well-deserved award for creativity. Currently, other innovative projects are being developed and we are going to further many agreements with companies belonging ICT sector, to be continuously updated about the instances of the labor market and the new professional profiles related to the digital economy.

The Italian Team is composed by ICT and web design teachers and by our best experienced teachers in the area of ICT applied to education. 
The coordinator is also university researcher in the field of digital content and e-learning and she has a long experience in digital publishing and teachers training.
The students involved in the project have been chosen among who has most familiarity and interest in innovation and creativity. These students belong to the first and second classes, to guarantee a durable dissemination of the results, long their whole scholastic life.
