This project is part of a set of projects entitled 'Digital World' which is based on the curriculum for the 2nd year of compulsory secondary education.

The following objectives have been considered in the design of this project:

• to learn while working on a project.

• to encourage collaborative work, since most assignments require information sharing and interaction with other students.

• to foster students' self-learning process by using IT resources.

• to reinforce students' communicative skills through activities of listening and reading comprehension, but above all, through tasks in which they must produce their own oral and written messages.

About the project is the first section of the project containing information about the channels that students will use to publish and share all their work as we think that they will be happy to showcase their familiy and classmates the poster, slideshow, writing composition, etc. that they will have done throughout the project. From the wide range of websites and social networks available, we suggest that students have their own site at weebly.com, just like a portfolio, where they can post all their work and complete a Learning diary that will help them reflect on their own learning process.

Encourage students to design their site following a clear structure. Their site must contain at least these pages:

• Homepage, the first and main page which must include a title, index, images and a description of the project.

• 'My writing guide' . This page will include all the student's writing tasks and tips for good writing.

• 'Internet vocabulary'. Students will include here links to the wordmaps and charts that they create using key vocabulary.

• 'My digital resources'. On this page, students will publish the links to the digital material that they will have created in their missions, like their digital poster, slideshow or a voki recording.

On the other hand, students can use Pinterest to share their outcome with the people they like. Google drive apps will be also used for writing texts and preparing presentations collaborativelly. Besides, students can collect and add notes about vocabulary and grammar using online tools such as cacoo and canva.

The rest of sections in the project include several stages that students will need to go through to eventually do the final challenge, which is described in the 'Safety campaign' section and is based on the production of a flyer promoting Internet security. Within this learning resource, relevant language contents can be practised and a wide range of tasks is presented so that students are encouraged to practise and improve the linguistic skills required for their final output.

At the end of the project, students will have been able to work on the following contents:

• listening and reading activities: students understand general information and identify specific information in oral and written messages.

• writing a basic and logical paragraph on life before and after the invention of the Internet.

• expressing purpose with to + infinitive and for + -verb-ing.

• use of the Present Simple tense to refer to daily actions.

• use of Past Simple to refer to past  actions.

• practise open and closed questions  to gather information for the writing task.

• use of linking words to express several semantic relationships, above all, contrast.

• expression of necessity, prohibition, obligation and advice with modal verbs.

• use of key words related to the Internet uses and Internet dangers.

Notice that all the contents are related to the four blocks stated in the new curriculum for the first  foreign language area in the first cycle of compulsory secondary education. These four blocks are comprehension of oral messages, production of oral messages: expression and interaction, comprehension of written texts and production of written texts: expression and interaction.

At the end of the project, students will have been able to practise and acquire the following learning standards stated in the BOE (3rd January 2015) regarding the curriculum for the first cycle of CSE
