I planned the project "Cultural Heritage of My City - (My Sagarejo)" with the students. ; When students have a desire to learn and study the history of their city, it is a happy fact for me in the first place, but at the same time it was a big responsibility for me, we knew that we would need time, a lot of work and better study of modern technologies. Format us and then post it on the blog, then we thought we could do it. Although the students worked very intensively on the project, I think the topic has not yet been exhausted and other groups from the school need to work on it, so it is not surprising that a new project already planned in the school and related to our school history research is related to this project. Can be considered as a continuation of the same work process;

Main idea of the project (theme)
· History, culture, traditions of Sagarejo;
Relevance of the project
Students will study the history of their city, culture, heritage, natural environment, culture, art and traditions. With the help of modern technologies, electrical resources will be created and Sagarejo will be introduced and popularized through the website;
Project description:
Our working group was set up at the school. The project involved not only one class, but also 19 students in grades 9-10 who were willing to work on the topic. First of all, it became necessary to plan the project. Researching, writing oral histories, meeting and
interviewing interesting people, creating visuals, uploading and making video resources, creating an informative blog in English, making booklets; As well as joint visits of entire working groups to museums and libraries. The group of photographers worked separately, the creator of the social network "Our Sagarejo" worked separately, sharing all the information from time to time with the general public; it is difficult to prepare these materials without the help of modern technologies. We shared Armenia online in Word and Pover point with the help of the Tims platform.
Emotion:
· It is an amazing feeling when you study historical material with students, at this time we are no longer teachers and students, we are just employees, we often argue about which issue to cover, it took us a long time to sort the recorded material, Skype discusses which issue to sort out. We sat at the computer for hours discussing what modern technologies needed, how much the programs helped us turn our ideas into real work; When I saw how the students worked, I felt that this process was necessary for them, the skills that they developed in school, in the teaching process, enabled the students to think better, understand and plan the work process;
Rate
The project lasted for 4 months, most of the activities we planned have been completed, we also have shortcomings - the history of some monuments is not complete and needs more research, we could not arrange a photo exhibition, due to the pandemic, less contact is desirable. We really wanted to invite the "elders" living in Sagarejo and record their oral histories, but I will repeat and the pandemic hindered the research process.
Analysis:
·
· We are well aware that we are short of archival material, unfortunately we did not save it this time, we have already planned various research activities, to search for additional materials and we have already written the work schedule of the new project.
