The children also enjoyed the story about 4 friends that visit each other and discover beautiful things about each other ’ s countries . It was created using the TinyStorie web tool ( https :// tinyurl . com / Tiny-Storie ). The children listened to the story , suggested titles for it and the teachers gathered those titles and created a pole to see which title was more suitable . They also drew many scenes of the story from their imagination . ( https :// youtu . be / 993o75o8Wo0 )
At the end of the project , we applied questionnaires for the children , parents and teachers participating in the project and each
participant ( student or teacher ) was awarded a Participation Certificate from the Founder and Cofounder for their valuable participation . As project founder , I collaborated closely with the cofounder of the project and all the other partners and scheduled all the activities in manageable time periods . As coordinator of project in my kindergarten I held a series of meetings and workshops with my project team members because we had a very large number of project participants from our institution ( 17 out of 38 ) and because most of them are teaching staff unfamiliar with the new aspect of the ESEP platform . Therefore , I offered them support to reactivate their accounts on the ESEP platform , helped them join the project , showed them how to upload the materials prepared in the TwinSpace of the project to the specific Padlets and to the created Facebook group for this project and how to use many of the web tools in the project .
The project activities took place onsite in the partner school units , but also online through online meetings between the founder and cofounder or participation in webinars organized by eTwinning and we used a diverse range of devices such as : desktop computers , smart phones , interactive whiteboards , tablets , video projectors , etc . and we ensured the safety of children and participants online .
Throughout the project , we developed our ICT skills with the use of various web tools for communication and dissemination : many Google tools ( Gmail , Google MyMaps , Google Earth , Google Slides , Google Sheets , Google Forms , Google Jamboard , Google Drive ), Microsoft Office tools , the Facebook group ( https :// www . facebook . com / groups / 23552469 9164124 ) and Facebook messaging chat , and other tools such as : Padlet , Coogle , Random
