Abstract
Executive summary: The student… Teacher… Who’s Who? Nowadays, we live in a globalized world, where everything changes faster than any time before. Everything changes, that is a constant though there are some fields that refuse to accommodate this change. We still use the same old traditional methods. We still have students who think that the presence of a teacher is among the most important things and we still don’t take into consideration that we have to prepare for a transition, the transition that will lead us to performance, efficiency and a better way of life learning. Education has always been the root of life. For some, it is a social elevator that helps encounter poverty, progress and own a new life, and for others, it is the essence for a good and honorable life. It is important then, to deeply think of finding solutions and restructuration in order to correct the mistakes that have been made and also, give a new fresh beginning for technology to enter the schools and be a part of our daily teaching. In today’s world, it is more and more important to be good at using technology tools, develop applications, be able to connect and communicate with other people, doing it well and fast and of course be up to date. By taking this challenge, we wanted to take a first step towards solving this issue. The need to take action stayed somehow in a low progression and we just thought of how we could manage to make our ideas take place and make learning at schools be more fun for both teachers and of course students. Our project combines fun and learning. As we know, except in some rare cases, teachers don’t usually give much importance to the use of technology in their teaching methods. They still use old devices while their students are miles away in the practice of using new technologies. Students get bored in classrooms, their teachers use unattractive methods, old fashioned templates, sometimes they use no computer at all. Which irritates students, doesn’t motivate them, and makes them frustrated and confused. We want to stop that frustration. We want to make school interesting again. We want to make some changes and for that our teachers must learn how to attract our attention all over again. Our professors will have to be our students and learn what we know about technology, in order to understand us and make attending their classes a pleasure experience for both of us.

Hey...one more thing.=) In Russia one day per year students are elected to be teachers and teach other students (younger one or a few years) instead of teachers. Do you have such practice in your country?=)

Your solution is very realistic take for the fact most schools still embrace tradition instead of education. Education is all about acquisition of diverse methods and application of useful/easy technics to imbed exposure.
Best of luck. Kindly visit my team htt://challengefuture.org/team s/874
