“During one English class, we had to present our
own restaurant. We were divided into groups, some
brought their own food, others made posters,

eTwinning, So Precious
by Brunella Lanciotti
I have been an eTwinning member for about 5
years and now I am an ambassador.
I have had many opportunities to develop my own
view and so now I can definitely say that it is a
precious tool for teachers.
I have met many teachers from different European
countries and we have also run together some
successful projects. The students always enjoy
being in touch with their peers and working
together, they are more motivated and the same is
true for teachers.

seen and touched.
I have to say that the opportunity to meet some of
the teachers has been really interesting, but
students can get so motivated sometimes that they
become the real engine of the project.
eTwinning is a starting point, always, you can meet
people who share your own interests, you can learn
a lot from many of them and so afterwards you can
develop a wide range of activities.

about how it worked but I soon felt that it was
something I would use a lot. It is important to
spend some time learning what it has to offer and
