Five Estonian students at the VET center in Milan
In March, the Milan CFP Canossa headquarters in Via Benaco welcomed five Estonian students studying administration at the Järvamaa Kutsehariduskeskus school.
Supported by third- and fourth-year students, they participated in IT lessons in English and carried out various tasks related to the creation of web pages and smartphone apps. They developed an Android smartphone app with App Inventor to manage restaurant reservations.
Here is the experience recounted by Prof. Alessandro Visigalli, IT teacher.
Once again this year, we have the pleasure of hosting five students from JKHK, with the now customary hybrid mobility formula: in February, we held a series of online lessons using Google Meet, during which we talked (among other things) about the tools the students would need to use once they arrived in Milan.
Since March 2, when they finally arrived in Italy, the students have been working on the development of a series of smartphone apps capable of quickly and accurately resolving certain situations in the daily life of the CFP, from the management of refresher courses for teachers to the management of the sandwich service offered by students in the meal preparation course.
During these weeks, Kairi, Andreas, Karl, Margo, and Johannes also participated as classroom tutors in computer science lessons for third-year Business Services Operator students. It was a wonderful experience, especially because we were able to combine the use of English with computer science and work organization skills during classroom training.
Once again, we were very impressed by the skills demonstrated by the Estonian students, so a heartfelt thank you also goes to the JKHK staff, and in particular to Marleen, the Erasmus project manager, for working again this year to make this mobility program a reality. We all hope that this collaboration will become even stronger in the future!
A second article dedicated to the apps created by the students will also be published in the coming days.
