The use of ICT enables teachers to present pupils new concepts more specifically and clearly. This is for the pupils of the first triennium and their image very important. In order that the students, through researching, obtaining information and the use of ICT, design the teaching materials by themselves, I made a cross-curricular project Games of our grandmothers and grandfathers. I introduced the pupils the cloud computing Google Drive and taught them about the basic use of the shared documents. They documented descriptions of various old games and counting rhymes, which their grandparents told them about or which were found on internet by their parents. Then they used a video camera on a tablet computer and recorded a presentation of an old game. With a voice recorder they recorded a new counting rhyme which was recreated on an old rhyme. The products were put on YouTube, where we could watch them. This kind of work has proven to be very successful. With its diversity it was motivating for pupils of different learning styles, pupils have developed new skills in the use of ICT, and their knowledge was gained through experiential learning and teamwork. Even the pupils were satisfied with the work and they have been proud of their own teaching materials.
