-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------students (i.e. padlet, google docs), to compare the
two countries and search for more information
about them, to present our cities/schools etc. BUT
we had also the opportunity to prepare a theme to
teach our students (Valentine’s Day – carnival –
school subjects – health – body parts – weekend
activities – diversity) / to discuss a theme by using
an App (i.e. couple) / to present the results of a
task / to play (Kahoot!) / to evaluate in the end our
online meetings by using different Apps every time
(strawpoll – answergarden – mentimeter – tricider
– surveymonkey). We also reused materials from
our previous projects (i.e. e-Ecken).
Here everyone can virtually “see” the process of our
project.
The realization of this project was not easy.
Communication and organization were – in my
opinion – the key words and the driving energy for
such a project (and for any project)! Almost endless
skype meetings, continuous E-Mail exchanges and
regularly FB discussions helped me and my
colleague, Aimi, to successfully complete the
project!
Thank you Aimi Jõesalu for the “magical moments”
(“Sternstunden” in German) you and your students
offered to us!
For the Graduation Day of the class of 2016 I
prepared a video
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt4HZixQKns)
dedicated to the students with whom I worked
together for 3 year on the eTwinning projects with
Estonia (with Aimi and their students). It is in
Greek but it shows how we have used various Apps
in the classroom and a number of activities we have
implemented. I used Animoto to create the video.
