Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2016 Newsletter------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
important especially for our pupils because they had the chance to interact directly with their partner mates.
MUST eTwinning Project by Anamaria Corina Golumbeanu
One important part of this project was the dissemination. We decided to organize an eTwinning corner in our school hall. The involved students could update the progress of the activities with pictures, photocopies, and drawings and it was also useful to let pupils of other classes know about this experience.
In our school website there is an eTwinning page where we uploaded the project outline and the materials produced by our pupils in order to share them with other teachers and families. Our students’ parents have demonstrated interest on eTwinning projects during different events providing positive comments.
During our school Open day 2016 pupils had the chance to describe the steps of the developed activities and talk about their personal experience to other parents and families. Some of them were so impressed that they asked our principal to give all the students the opportunity to take part in such projects.
By the end of the school year all the products and videos created were shown to other classes and uploaded in our school website. Another chance to publish this project will be our regional workshops in order to show how an eTwinning project can be a powerful approach in supporting our students developing their competences.
In fact, my students appreciated“ Making a difference in our learning” because they considered it really interesting since it gave them the opportunity to know their ways of learning actively and to reflect on them interacting with other mates exploiting new ICT tools and programmes and improving their English language skills and competences. That is eTwinning!
Cinzia Masia teaches English in a Lower High school in Sassari where she lives. She is an eTwinning Ambassador and she is interested in putting into practice new strategies and tools involving her students. She likes travelling and reading books.
If we are teachers at primary or lower secondary it is difficult to use ICT in ours classroom because students are not very good users. But we can improve their skills by eTwinning projects. I used some tools like Google Drive and some other web 2.0 tools.
I linked an Erasmus + KA2 project with an eTwinning project. It is about MUST project- Maths Understanding with help of Science and Technology. The main goal of the KA2 project was to create Moodle quizzes and to train teachers to use Moodle.
The main goal of the eTwinning project MUST( https:// twinspace. etwinning. net / 10290 / home) is to understand math and science by using mobile devices.
