• The teachers presented their recent practices of each topic, above all with the possibility of being used by the other partners.

• Pupil and teacher created content shared across schools has provided interesting and effective learning resources for all participants.

• Publication of the project on the web has increased parental involvement in their child's education and community interest and support for the school.

• The teachers developed the own potential as well as they improved the skill and levels of the children's skill.

• We discovered, that many free software can be used at kindergarten: JClic, Hot Potatoes, eXe1.03.0, Flash.Page.Flip.com Web Photo Gallery, iSpringFree3, PhotoStory3, Moodle platform’ , etc.

• We showed, that at kindergarten it was possible to connect the traditional methods of teaching of mathematics with new technologies. Both methodologies strengthen efficiency of the teacher's work.

• We know, that subjects and activities which we used can be applied in all the European kindergartens.

• Besides European partners a teacher from Canada, USA has joined us by iEARN net.
