Povzetek
Prispevek predstavi Slovenske učne kroge kot obliko sodelovalnega dela na daljavo in orodja za avtentično učenje v varnem spletnem okolju z možnostjo vključitve v redni učni načrt. Tematike so medpredmetno zasnovane in zato spodbujajo timsko delo tako učencev kot učiteljev. Učenci raziskujejo različna področja s primernimi metodami glede na predmetno področje in se učijo v medsebojnem sodelovanju. Tako se raven znanja učencev zvišuje ter zagotavlja trajnejše znanje. V okviru projekta e-šolstva, v sodelovanju z ZRSS in MIZKŠ, mednarodno skupnostjo Global Teenager Foundation in različnimi zunanjimi sodelavci, je skupina učiteljev in ravnateljev slovenskih osnovnih in srednjih šol ter gimnazij odkrivala prednosti in izzive vključevanja informacijsko komunikacijske tehnologije s pomočjo metodologije učnih krogov, katere glavni namen je spodbuditi sodelovalno delo na daljavo pri strokovnih predmetih, ne le tujega jezika, s strokovno vsebino predvsem v času rednega pouka in predvidenega časa za načrtovanje.
Ključne besede: sodelovalno delo na daljavo, slovenski učni krogi, timsko delo, smiselna in varna uporaba IKT.
