The document outlines the Game-It project which aims to develop a platform combining semantic knowledge management, interactive educational scenarios, and advanced multiplayer gaming technologies. This platform will integrate digital knowledge organization, pedagogical benefits of game-based learning, and interaction enabled by online multiplayer games in cooperative and competitive environments. The project will produce around 50 ready-to-use scenarios for primary and secondary education covering various school subjects.

- 4. Connecting Education to the Cloud for Digital Citizenship “School on the Cloud (SoC)” Network Project Duration: 3 years (01/01/2014 – 31/12/2016)
- 5. SoC basis “Digital-Earth.eu network Comenius Multilateral Network” The SoC proposal originates from active partners in the “Digital-Earth.eu network Comenius Multilateral Network”, who are focused on the ways Cloud-based digital technologies can be implemented in STEM (and other) subject areas. CEDEFOP Study Visit The idea for SoC originates from a CEDEFOP study visit for ICT in education experts that took place in Spain in April 2012. Preparatory Visit The group followed this up via a Preliminary Visit held at Doukas school in November 2012, in Athens in order to clarify the goals, products and needs SoC should address and how the network would operate.

- 8. SoC is an ICT network needed to explore the new dynamic ways to educate that aligns with the way we think, share, learn and collaborate outside of the classroom, across various education sectors, by exploiting the opportunities arising from “Cloud” environments. To achieve this, SoC will: a. undertake research and publish the “state of art” b. examine pedagogical approaches c. produce guidance resources for teachers and teacher educators d. establish 4 working groups themes on management (transition), iTeacher/Trainer, personalised learning and Cloud-based digital futures e. create a School on Cloud Web site with services offering access to materials, an online community, training opportunities and SoC products, research reports, resources etc. f. disseminate School on Cloud and widen the community via the extended networks of partners SoC: Concept

Advice for the teachers, coordinators and trainers, downloadable and printed on demand (D4.3). 4. a Training Workshop to disseminate the findings and deliverables in this work package (D4.4). WG3: Integrating the Cloud: personalised learning
- 13. WG Aim: Working group 4 will seek to examine the exploitation of “Future scenarios for Education on the Cloud”. (Leader: P3-EUROGEO) Topics: WG 4 relates closely to the exploitation of the outcomes of the project and will deal with topics like: the impact of open (education) resources, the availability of free and available information, new generation tools for the Cloud, communicating and publishing on the Cloud and the resultant issues such as ethics and IPR. Deliverables: 1. a Research Report on the state of the art and methodologies of “futures” thinking (D5.1) 2. a Report on scenarios for the future resulting from partner conference (D5.2). 3. Press Releases on the power of the Cloud and the potential and drawbacks (D5.3). 4. Workshop on futures at the final conference (D5.4). WG4: Future scenarios for Education on the Cloud
