my school

I teach german as a foreign language and Modern History. My students are between 12 and 15 years old. 

Our school is a new building with some modern facilities. We have a video projector and a PC in the most of the classes and one smart board in the laboratory, which we can sometimes use. We have a computer room with 12 computers but it is forbidden for the students to have smartphones or tablets in school and it requires a special permission.  In June 2015 we won 11 ipads from a contest conducted by the Goethe Institut Greece. Some of the teachers use ICT (Informations and Communications Technologies), others only for presentations or videos and others to integrate interactive material in their teaching plans.

About me...

Who I am...

My name is Konstantina Chryssanthopoulou and I am a secondary school teacher in Greece.   I am 46 years old and I teach german as a second language and Modern Greek History. My students are between 12 and fifteen years old. 

I am very much interested in integrating technology into teaching, because I believe it is very motivating for both teachers and students. For my subjects I have created blogs on blogspot and facbookgroups and I try to introduce as many web tools 2.0 as possible to my students and my colleagues. 
My blog's address is

This blog has been awarded in  June 2015 with a first prize in the educational contest "eduwebawards" for educational sites and blogs in Greece.

In the past  I have participated  in several other online courses. In the EunSchoolnet Academy I have finished the courses: 
1) Games in schools 
2) Competences for 21st Century Schools Course 
3) Tablets in School. 


I have also participated in  online courses on the platform from etwinning and finished the very interesting course Augmented Reality last year. I participate in online webinars organized by Deutschlehrer online, Shelly Terrel, Jürgen Wagner and others. I take part in courses organized by the Ministry of Education of my country. I love experimenting with new tools. 

I take part in courses organized by the Goethe Institut and work on the project DIP in SOE, a project by the Goethe Institut for the improvement of digital skills in the countries of South East Europe.

In our school we have a video projector and a PC in the most of the classes and one smart board in the laboratory and the computer room, which we can sometimes use. It is forbidden for the students to have smartphones or tablets in school and it requires a special permission. In June 2015 we won in a contest of the Goethe Institut a charger bag with eleven ipads and a laptop, which we will be introducing in our lessons in the new schoolyear.
