Dear Katrien and Sagun and all,
One solution regarding ChoiCo use in Cycle 2 can be the following:
- If teachers/students insist on using the original version (with no
AR/geolocation but static pictures), ask them to use the Learning
Analytics/AI for gathering student data from ChoiCo. (This is an easy
setting that has to be done by you or the teacher in the platform before
the intervention). In that case, we can claim that we tested the Learning
Analytics extension of ChoiCo. So in a way, we use the extended version of
the tool
- However, we need some (not all) implementations with the AR/geolocation
features as well.
Also @all don't forget the virtual robotics tool that we have to use in
some interventions this year and it is also available through the extend2
platform
If you need some guidance with the use of Learning Analytics in ChoiCo (and
other tools) please let me or Philothei know!
Best,
Marianthi

Dear all,
Regarding* Y2 interventions* I would like to remind you that:
1) Students have to use *the extended versions* of the tools and their
extended functionalities (i.e. 3D printing in MaLT2, geolocation/traffic
data in ChoiCo, body interaction in SorBET). This must also be visible in
Y2 *Activity Plans*
2) The interventions need to be done *through the extendt2.com
<http://extendt2.com> platform*, which means teachers have to create an
account, create student groups, set up an activity with one of the tools,
assign it to student groups etc.
3) Capturing *user data* and representing them in the *LA dashboard* *doesn't
happen automatically.* Teachers (or we) need to do some settings for the
activity we want to capture the data before students start using it.
If you have any questions regarding the tools and the platform, please let
me or Philothei know
Best,
Marianthi

Dear All,
Currently, we are working on Deliverable 8.2<https://docs.google.com/document/d/18ZXn12Eg65kVf7ibY8pxZkFnpLonZb87/edit> 'Dissemination and impact report 1'. In the draft, under the heading ‘Publications and presentations’, we have listed some presentations and 1 publication related to the Exten(DT)2 project. Could you please let us know if any of the following works are published or if there are any other publications that we can list in this section. Also please send us a summary related to the publication that you want us to list there.
1. ‘Enhancing students’ 21st century skills through playing and modifying embodied digital classification games’ presented at the 16th International Conference on Technology in Mathematics Teaching (ICTMT 16) by Marianthi Grizioti and Maria Stella Nikolaou
2. ‘Extending Design Thinking with Digital Technologies" presented at the 20th Biennial EARLI Conference by Manolis Mavrikis
3. ‘An Embodied Instrumentation Approach for Spatial Thinking development using Geospatial technology’ presented at the 13th International Conference "ICT in Education" by Marianthi Grizioti and Christina Gkreka.
4. A keynote speech to the Brazilian Association of Mathematics Education on "Computational Thinking (CT) and Learning Analytics in Mathematics Education: Enhancing the programming experiences for Teachers and Students" by Marcelo Milrad
Also, could you give us some information relating to teacher training workshops that you have organised or will organise up until the end of Jan. You can insert your details on the table you find in this doc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zgjfUR9rrV3RuYNE9h4T3m_uQBbp8W3MXGyxubK…>.
It would be great if you could carry out these actions by Friday Jan 26.

Dear All
The M18 review and physical meeting will be on next Friday’s OMT agenda.
If you would like any other agenda please let have them by COB this Monday 15 January.
Best, Shamim
Dear All
Firstly Happy 2024! I hope you have all enjoyed the holiday period and have had a relaxing break.
Re, EC Expert Reviewers: Marcelo and I had a meeting with Angel, our PO yesterday. He has now contacted two further reviewers.
* Markus Vincze: https://www.acin.tuwien.ac.at/staff/vm/
* Davinia Hernández-Leo: http://www.upf.edu/web/davinia-hernandez-leo<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.upf.edu/web/davinia-hernandez-leo__;!…> and /http://www.upf.edu/web/tide<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.upf.edu/web/tide__;!!DOxrgLBm!E1lfyiz…> @TIDE_UPF<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/twitter.com/TIDE_UPF__;!!DOxrgLBm!E1lfyi…> (see also attached CV)
We can discuss this further at next Friday’s OMT meeting but we would like to initially check with you that there are no Conflicts of Interest or other grounds for objection. If any, please let me know by Friday 12.00 CET. This so:
* Angel can start further procedures with them.
* Thea/Manolis can prepare further for the physical meeting in UK.
Note:
* April 19 is good for both proposed reviewers, but Davinia would need to leave around 14.30/15.00 to catch a plane to Barcelona, so the review may need to start already at 08.00.
* MV has already pointed out to Angel that he had the ER4STEM project (end date: 30 September 2018) with Chronis and Carina - but this is now out of the 5 year timespan for CoI.
Best regards
Shamim
Dear All,
I would like to inform you that our joint-podcast with augMENTOR, episode 1 is released via our YT channel and it is embedded on our site: https://extendt2.eu/our-news/.
Please, feel free to share it to your relevant contacts.
Best,
Sagun
Dear All,
Attached please find the revised Exten(DT)2 flyer. We have incorporated your suggestions that you have provided for the revision in the last OMT meeting.
Best,
Sagun
Dear All,
By collaborating with the AugMENTOR team, we have produced the first podcast<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WxvEEtWPB3DMSiAlPQCXlrN3ypo47MqI/view?usp=…>, which focused on explaining the overall aim of each project, what both projects envisioned to achieve as a change in education, the technologies both projects (augMENTOR and Exten(DT)2) use and the added values of those technologies, the activities that have been carried out up until now and the future plans. Irene Angelica Chounta from the AugMENTOR and I from Exten(DT)2 are the podcasters for episode 1. Please let me know if you have any comments on it. We are planning to release it through our YT channel and embed it in our website.
With regards,
Sagun
