Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2016 Newsletter -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Gallery of Successful Projects maker is the perfect study tool for revising and retaining key information. Two other great teachers, Vasiliki Pelekouda from Greece and Irena Rimc Voglar from Slovenia were our partners in this great adventure our students loved! First step of the project was to introduce ourselves. Every team did it in a very original way, describing themselves into a group picture and challenging others to identify each member of the team. We used tools like Padlet, Thinglink and Slideshare to describe ourselves and guess the other teams. Students have chosen a country legend. They have created a card for it. On the front side there was a summary of the legend (one or two sentences), and on the back side there will be the whole retold legend. They published the front page only at first. The other students asked yes/no questions and try to reconstruct the legend. We used Google docs to interact asynchronously and ask/answer the question, but also a series of Skype meetings for the same reason, but for synchronous interaction. Legend Jeopardy- Celebrating Diversity Using Legends by Cristina Nicolaita This eTwinning project followed a pattern of the game called "Black stories". The gist of the game is that one person has a card that tells part of a mystery and the others try to figure out the entire story by asking yes and no questions. In this project students reconstructed partners’ legends by making yes/no questions. Fun, right? The project’s aims were:  to challenge students to know their own country legends  to challenge students to know their partners' country legends  to find similarities and differences in legends  to use foreign language for communication The idea of the project was of the other founder of the project, Petra Boháčková from Czech Republic, who introduced us a great tool, GoConqr, which we used to create flashcards. GoConqr’s free Flashcard Another great tool we used for project evaluation was Dotstorming. On Dotstorming you can create a space for people to post digital sticky notes.
