Culture Calendar, Finnish-Russian School of Eastern Finland & School no 238

Your work is an excellent example of an e-material frame: a calendar provides a sound structure that directs the design of your DLM (we all know what a calendar is and what calendars are commonly used for)
- it allows you to create an interesting basic content database (what a calendar usually contains)
- the database can be continually developed and co-authored with students
- it can be utilized in all curriculum subjects according to their special interests (the Earth Day, the Pi Day)
- it allows to develop active virtual social environments within your school and your community (recurrent school events, current events within the school, culture events in the community)
- it develops sustained T-S-L processes in different subjects (create a diary of a project, an excursion or a trip, or any other T-S-L process).

In a calendar you have a clear structure: a year, a months, a days, a time. Take an ordinary pocket calendar. There you have public holidays (national, in some calendars international as well), you might have a map of your country, sometimes even a world map, timezones, distances. Your students might have great ideas of what they would like the calendar to be like and, most importantly, how they would like to use it.
