ALF - Accendiamo La Fantasia, Italy

ALF – Accendiamo La Fantasia - is an Italian association, which runs a project with teachers and pupils from different Italian schools (Viareggio, Osimo, Quarto (Napoli), Grosseto e Valverde). The goal of the project is to involve teachers and pupils together in using ICT and participation tools to learn and share educational experiences. The project runs two different forums – one for the primary and another for the secondary school – and it proposes many activities to play and learn about fractals.
