Padlet
As a way to celebrate the International Day of
Peace, through an eTwinning project, the 4th
grade students created a padlet with sentences
related to the theme. The padlet was widespread
across the eTwinning community and the page of
our group of schools. This activity was developed
in each classroom with the whole class. Each pair
of students went to the computer and wrote their
sentence. There was no need of a computer for
each student, as it was a group activity. The final
product can be seen in the following link: https://

eTwinning Platform
The
eTwinning
platform
(https://
www.etwinning.net) is also a good tool for the
teachers to develop all kinds of projects. Teachers
can pick the project they wand to develop with their
students, some of them appeal to the use of ICT,
and it is good because we can see how or which
schools from Europe use the technological tools.
