Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2016 Newsletter -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------had to choose one theme and work on it. They used Titanpad to collaborate. Then they had the choice among different tools to prepare their presentation. Tutorials were, of course, available to help! But they couldn’t use the same tool twice. In March and April, each team had to choose and present an Olympic sport. Here again, they had to discuss together and have a common agreement on the sport. In May, we finally ended by organizing our own Olympic Games. The teams had three different activities. The first activity was about creating a new logo. To choose the best ones we asked our colleagues teachers of drawing to select them. For the second activity each member of the teams had to take as many photos as possible of people practicing a sport. The photographs had to be real, I mean not coming from the internet. At last, they had to write as many words as possible in the language they learn about the Games. They did it with Padlet. After these three weeks, he had a final ranking and the winners got a little gift. We also prepared an evaluation of our project to end it up. All our students were really enthusiastic about this project. They worked and communicated via the TwinSpace. They also wrote mails, they chatted and some of them had contacts on other social media. We got the eTwinning Quality Label for our project.
