The aim of these awards is to recognise and reward innovative uses of Information and Communication Technology in Education (ICTE) whilst showcasing teachers’ professionalism and pupils’ creativeness.
On the 5th and 6th of May 2010 the Distance Learning working group met in Brussels to evaluate all the contributions put forward by pupils and teachers in the fourth ICT competition of the European schools .
106 contributions in total have been evaluated.
The digital works were assessed using 6 categories of criteria: pedagogic usability, technical implementation, applicability to different groups of learner, interactive and experiential characteristics, creativity and novelty.

The winners are:
Primary Pupils Category:
1st prize: Pedrom MESKINI (European School of Culham, P4ENa, 9 years old) presented a Digital Art Video Project combining several subjects: Art, Music and ICT. The jury was impressed by this good combination beautifully executed. Inspiration from this project came after a visit to Georges Pompidou centre in Paris. This pupil made his video art project in the school of Culham, he took himself all the pictures and gave a good description of the process (how to create a video from digital pictures and Adobe Pinnacle Studio).
