Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2014 Newsletter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------are no longer alone, isolated and passed to
integrate a community. eTwinning allows finding
what working in a truly collaborative way means,
and we love to do that. We found many friends to
share experiences, ways of acting, innovations, and
discoveries. With them we gain security in
ourselves and in our work, meet new cultures,
different habits, learn a lot and especially, we gain
many friends.
The next two pictures will present you with our
favourite tools for communication, the
videoconference, with Poland and Romania:
Being naturally curious, loving to work, children like
to know their European partners, their way of life,
their countries, their habits, and their culture.
Children love to do different things and can
communicate without barriers, without taboos and
very easily.
And how do we communicate with our European
partners? We exchanged presentations and movies
about our daily life, our culture and our traditions.
We exchanged small gifts, books, sweets, treats
and many conversations. We use Web 2.0 tools to
work collaboratively, communicate by email, in the
TwinSpace, in Skype, for videoconferencing. They
listen to each other with attention and appreciation,
and even without knowing the language of our
European partners, they sing with enthusiasm and
make gestures simultaneously. We learn a lot in
this exchange because it is lived and experienced in
real time and in the first person. eTwinning gives us
wings, opens the doors of the classroom and lets
the world enter. It completely revolutionizes the
way to teach and learn. From now on teaching and
learning would be unthinkable without eTwinning!
Here we write a collaborative story with our
partners who are now near us physically, but it is as
if they are:
Next comes a student sending an email to one of
the partners!
