- 11. USE OF JOOMAG IN THE CLASSROOM During our Erasmus+ project „IT or not IT“ students learned how to work with Joomag. They worked in international teams to create a magazine about their stay in the Czech Republic. Samples of their work can be found here: www.joomag.com/magazine/erasmus-/0674091001466061725 We found that Joomag can make lessons more interesting and fun. This digital tool can be used when teaching various subjects, in cross-curricular subjects, for example, Geography + English, Czech + History, etc. or in project learning. Students can use Joomag for work on individual projects or collaboratively in teams. In our project students have learned to coopearate in a team, divide tasks, organise their work, be more creative and independent and develop language and writing skills. Working with Joomag helps students develop new skills and digital competencies which they will find useful for their future.
