-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------then enjoy experimenting with the certainty that
there are people ready to help just in case you need
it.

I discovered eTwinning at the very beginning back
in 2005 but I thought it was too messy and I could
not find my way through it. I went back in
September 2012. The site had changed a lot, and it
was easier to understand how it worked. I was
recovering from a serious illness that had made me
stopped working for a long time and things had to
change in my life, had to lead me in other
directions…
So I would really like to invite more and more
teachers to use the eTwinning portal.
I started with a first project, a collaborative story,
and became soon an eTwinning addict! In class, I
always used to work with cross-curricular projects
to motivate my pupils. But I had found a way to
spread them in a larger way. The children could, in
this way, see how useful it is to learn a foreign
language and they could imagine other realities,
other ways of life!
4 months later I became an eTwinning ambassador,
and a few months later my NSS asked me to
become an evaluator for Quality Labels.

I work in a preschool with pupils aged 3 to 6, with
one computer linked to the Internet in the class,

eTwinning projects more visible…
What I actually want with eTwinning is finding
dynamic colleagues from various countries who
