out and the fact that all were co-pilots in a
collaborative mission was particularly pleased with
them.
To share material among teachers, electronic mail
was used both through the eTwinning platform and
the mail of schools and teachers. Teachers for
communication had made use of every opportunity
that was provided through the eTwinning platform
like email. More details on the project at
https://twinspace.etwinning.net/59688/home.
Various collaborative learning tools have been used
to carry out the project. More specifically, each
school has a gmail account in order to be able to
leverage the capabilities of google docs. To create a
common map, zee maps were used, a mapping
service that allowed us to create an interactive map
where students searched and found their school
and then "mapped" it on the map, available in
https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=3061867.
Students of the partners'' schools created a
collaborative eBook, where anyone can find a
variety of beebot exploitation activities in the
educational process. The eBook was created by
using the web 2.0 tool
https://www.storyjumper.com and is available in

Moreover the collaborative online tool
https://www.jigsawplanet.com was exploited,
where students created various puzzles about the
project available in

The project was also communicated to schools '
websites in order to have access to the pupils'
parents and other teachers, available at

The project was presented by the teachers to the
pupils' parents and to the school's teachers. At the
same time it was presented at the workshop of the
School Counselor of the 55th Preschool Education
Region of Attica with the aim of informing and
motivating teachers to implement relevant
programs in the educational process. The
presentation is available at

There are numerous benefits for students during
the implementation of this eTwinning project, such
as:
● It provides evidence that for students, a
significant attainment in skills and academic
knowledge is facilitated by the adoption of ICT in
the classroom.
● It increase the ability to express ideas, make
common decisions.
