Tim za socijalno uključivanje i smanjenje siromaštva

Ana Živković, an English language teacher from the “Čegar” primary school from Niš, was selected by Microsoft as one of the most innovative teachers in the world.

Ana used the popular social network Skype to get her students to love, and to facilitate their learning of languages.

The students of the “Čegar” primary school used Skype to communicate with the captain of the underwater laboratory Fabian Cousteau, grandson of the renowned French explorer Jacques Cousteau. Their English teacher Ana Živković showed them that this social network could also be used for learning.

“My idea was to connect my students with peers from across the world, particularly from English speaking countries, so that they could practice what they learn in class”, says Ana Živković.

For recognizing the importance of technology in teaching, Microsoft declared Ana Živković one of the most innovative teachers in the world. At the end of this month in Redmond, she will join a group of 300 colleagues from across the world who won this award.

Two other teachers from Serbia were awarded for their innovative teaching, information science teachers – Katarina Aleksić from Belgrade and Darina Poljak from Kovačica.
