through eTwinning: A Training Case
by Brigida Clemente

2) a training course in blended mode with action
research;

The Provincial Training eTwinning Plan of Foggia
was born starting from a proposal to the Foggia’s
Territorial Office of School in response to an
initiative for the promotion and dissemination at a
local level of "European culture" in schools of all
levels, state and equal, in the context of the
increasing complexity of current education scene.
In the framework of the Plan it has been considered
the most pragmatic needs of the teachers "aspiring
eTwinners' in the eTwinning Community approach
as well as to an eTwinning European project, since
it has just completed an on-line training course of
the Regional Plan 2015, implemented by all the
Ambassadors of Puglia who gave their feedbacks.
There was, in fact, some important requirements by
the new eTwinners as, for example, their need of a
greater number of training sessions in presence,
the importance of practical-laboratory activities, the
presence of a shared virtual environment for a
more immediate support, greater availability to the
communication from the Ambassadors, the
confidence to rely on the person as a Tutor of
reference, introducing trials in classes.
In light of these requirements, the Provincial Plan
was based on:
1) an initial briefing and launch of training;

3) a final conference of reflection on the outcomes.
