Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2016 Newsletter

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I blended the traditional methods with ICT.
eTwinning projects was a perfect way to do that.
First, students collected some data about famous
mathematicians. I uploaded their presentations and
crosswords in my Google Drive and I embeded
them in the page of MUST twinspace. This activity is
important for students to understand the evolution
of math.
Another activity is about using videoclips to
investigate some applied math in phisics problems.
Students must visualize and discover the
connection between math and real life. YouTube
has a great collection of motivating videoclips such
as those about sports.
I used ZeeMaps, a good web 2.0 tool, too. Students
choose the stores on the map of their town. They
linked real stores with real products and prices. In
this activity students have developed math skills
and their scientific language in an every day
language.
Some of my MUST resources have been shared in
an ebook. The ebook was published in a page of the
MUST eTwinning project, too. I consider that is very
important to share and give feedback to improve
the materials.
The MUST project has won several recognitions by
the third prize at the Made for Europe regional
competition. And one of the proposed problems on
the ZeeMaps has won third prize, too, at the
PROMATEMATICA intercounty contest.

eTwinning Project: Allez-y, Go à Rio!
by Anne Collet
Belgium has got three official languages – French,
Dutch and German – and we have the opportunity
to have eTwinning-Belgica projects within our three
communities.
That is what I did last schoolyear with a Dutch
colleague. My students had to do the activities in
Dutch and my colleague’s students worked in
French. They all worked in the foreign language
they learn at school. We worked on the Olympic
Games in Rio.
First we organized our teams: we mixed our
students. Then we prepared the activities and the
calendar.

In November and December, our students started
with getting to know each other. They had to use
Padlet to write a short description (their names,
their family, where they live, free-time activities)
and send a photo. Then they prepared a poster
about their hobbies with Postermywall and
Thinglink.
eTwinning project offer an oportunity to have a
good visibility of our resources and activity, to
collaborate with more teachers and to enrich our
experience.

In January and February, our students worked on
the Olympic Games: the history, the sports, famous
Belgian Olympic participants and winners.
They had eight different subjects and each team
