code and guess how does she/he look, what the
favourite Subjects and leisure activities are and also
the dreamed career. It was very funny, my partner
Birsen from Adana, Turkey, guessed everything
about me, but I made a mistake about her
favourite sport…
There Is No Place Like eTwinning, and No
Space Like TwinSpace
by Bianca Dimian
The eTwinning project I participated in, Our Ideal
European Neighbour, was one of the most
interesting and educational projects I had the
opportunity to take part in.
First I liked the way we met children from other
countries, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that
they have activities and preferences as we, children
of Romania, have. I felt very proud when we sent
them the movie where our town was described and
we, in our turn, watched with smiles on our faces
presentations of cities in Turkey and Greece.
I also liked a lot all the collaborative tools we
interacted in, like Wallwisher, Micromobs,
VoiceThread, but also taking photos and videos, the
project’s Facebook page, the project flyer on Smore
and, of course, the survey for the final module… my
father was very happy to help me with it.
Can I change my mind? The videoconference on
Skype is definitely my favourite activity!!! We could
finally see each other so close as if we were in the
same room, we could talk and wish us happy
summer holiday! The cookies and refreshments
were also very good.
Our team (as we call our class now) had the
curiosity to ask what Mrs. Headteacher and Mr.
Mayor think about the project, the one that
captivated us since the beginning. They found the
idea of the project wonderful and helped us with
information about our school or our city.
I would like to mention that the eTwinning project
helped children in my class to know each other
better, really developing team spirit and teamwork .
My favourite activity was the starting one, the
blazons activity, when we had to draw our blazon,
then we should find our partner using his/her QR
