-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Stimulating Children’s Creativity through
eTwinning Projects
by Dorina Marin
The environment in which our children grow and
develop himself should help him to improve, to
cultivate his talents in school and in extracurricular
activities related to his passion. The time has shown
us that often a huge talent was wasted because it
was grown and grown ever since childhood, when
an attentive parent can help the child to do things
that he likes, encourage the innate skills. Talent
has no age, he just must be discovered and
exploited. The gifted children have a very good
memory, play with art, love scene and still
outstanding results at an early age.
The teacher is the artist that shape and stimulates
creative thinking to every child. It depends on the
further development of the children more so as our
society needs people who are creative communities
cope with change, adapt to all that is new, assume
responsibilities, take advantage of opportunities in
a creative way and find different solutions to solving
current problems.
I fondly remember the enthusiasm with which they
participated this year my little grade students from
the National College of Arts "Octav Bancila" Iasi,
their first eTwinning project -EYES, the next
gener@tion! - in which participated preschool and
small school age students from Belgium, Bulgaria,
Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Greece, Latvia,
Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey and the UK.
My students drew and modeled glasses from
plasticine, they played the "Baba blind" striving to
sit while strawberries on stalks, they drew glasses
on the tablet, drew funny eyes and built custom
binoculars that looked to vacation. The fanthesis
and the imagination were present throughout the
project, because there no were two papers as well
as each of their products in its own way, original,
they have given varied uses and holiday
destinations were amazing. Amusement was the
word of the law but still, in the fall we will achieve
an educational pack, illustrated by children, to give
the project a pedagogical value.
eTwinning Community offers varied opportunities
for creative child who has a rich emotional
background, is sensitive, intense lives, have
confidence, car appreciate fair enough and not
satisfied with the first product of its form, it
improves and refine it.
