Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2014 Newsletter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------nicest feedback I received was the other day, from
a graduate of secondary school, it was: ”Looking
forward to meeting each other in the fall to do more
projects!” Yes, kids love these projects and work
with passion. Projects develop the skills of 21st
century on creativity, use of technology,
collaboration and communication, accountability,
critical thinking and communication in a foreign
language, interaction.
eTwinning – A Long Way
by Mariangela Bielli
I started in 2005 because I could try by myself,
without bureaucratic rules, just to see what it was
all about. It was ac tually a new start. At that time
the portal was a sort of sharing of results but it has
become more and more connected with cooperation
and peer learning both for teachers and students.
I have learnt a lot but, above all, I have found a
new approach to the teaching and learning process.
You have to do with something living and changing
because, when you start a project, you have an
outline and you have clear ideas in your mind but it
is when you start working with the other European
partners – teachers and pupils – that it becomes
project work.
Waiting for other eTwinning suggestions!
All the best, dear and kind friends!
Good luck!
I think this is what makes the difference – you must
be ready to redesign your activities because you
cannot do the same thing twice in the same way.
There are so many different stakeholders and
circumstances that cooperation always results in
something different and therefore challenging.
