Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2016 Newsletter

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------this Learning Event, joined eTwinning for the first
time, so they could attend a specific course to meet
their needs of training about the challenges posed
by the PNSD.

Finland, with Enzo Zecchi, professor at Bologna
University, expert of PBL.

The LE was from the very beginning a great
opportunity to spread the eTwinning way in groups
of teachers and schools that had not been so
interested yet.
We organized the LEs in three steps:
1) Introductions based on the individual starting
point of the users, as teachers, eTwinners,
professionals in different kinds of schools and
different parts of Italy.
2) Analysis of the 35 actions of PNSD and
reflection. The users had to reflect on the
innovations introduced by PNSD and imagine the
school of the future.
3) Users where asked to “adopt” one of the actions
of the previous step and think of how to put it into
practice in their schools. They were also
encouraged to create groups in order to work on
the final assignment: a practical reflection on how
to implement one of the document’s actions in their
school/net of schools, also via eTwinning.
During the two sessions of the Learning Event we
hosted several webinars: with expert eTwinners
from all over Europe introducing their projects, with
Daniele Barca, MIUR representative and Tiina
Saarisalmi, introducing the digital pedagogy in

We also had some “eTwinning cafes”, live meetings
in the platform where we discussed with groups up
to 30/40 people some specific topics, as BYOD
practice, or how to plan eTwinning projects, etc.

The majority of users showed a deep engagement
in the topic, a considerable motivation and a sincere
desire of collaboration with the other colleagues
who participated in the LE.
