Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2015 Newsletter

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Technology has been used to further the work of
the MAVEN project both by our partners and our
team of teachers and pupils in our school to achieve
some presentations, adaptations, survey results,
the most used websites being:
www.slideshare.com, www.utellstory.com,
www.voicethread.com, www.slideboom.com. We
realized the composition of polls by means of using
www.surveymonkey.com, www.answergarden.ch,
Google Docs. In order to achieve all the tasks
suggested by the project founders from Latvia and
Estonia, we used imaging tools such as:
www.pizap.com, www.imagechef.com,
www.picturetrail.com. Among the other IT tools
used in order to make tests, dictionaries, games
and worksheets, I can mention: www.learnings.app,
www.quizrevolution.com, www.quizlet.com,
www.proprofs.com. Besides, we were delighted to
use film processing tools like Smilebox,
www.animoto.com, www.kizoa.com,
www.authorstream.com. All the time we shared
impressions about the used tools and we tried
together Web Presentation Tools and rankings like:
www.lionit.com, www.gliterfy.com,
www.pagePlugins.com, www.flashvortex.com,
www.imagechef.com, www.padlet.com,
www.pollydaddy.com. Videoconferencing, Virtual
learning environment, Web publishing by using
www.flashmeeting.com or Skype helped us to
accomplish our goals for the eight project pages in
the work process: 1) Our Timetable; 2) Getting to
Know Each Other; 3) Project Logo and Heroes; 4)
Meet Experts; 5) Mathematicians’ & Writers’ Club;
6) Experts’ Performance; 7) Skype Lessons; 8)
Evaluation.

us to prepare guidelines for conference as CLIL for
advanced Mathematics and English teachers. The
illustrated book of mathematical puzzles is a result
for whose achievement we are very proud. The
collection of mathematical exercises in English will
be a good teaching material for each teacher in any
project we implement. The calendar
“Mathematicians of All Time” will stay in the
bookshelves of our schools libraries, at the disposal
of whatever person who want to see the beauty of
the eTwinning products. The CD with films created
by all partners was entitled by us “MAVEN Cinema”.
A great impact of this project is the contact with
pupils and teachers from different countries to
engage in other projects. The results of these
contacts were the new methodologies, ideas for
teaching and learning Mathematics and English.
Most achievements and results can be used outside
the project: presentations, workbooks, games,
quizzes, competitions, films, web pages. This
project experience suggested us a partnership
agreement in order to launch a similar project next
school year.
