from each other, and, of course, we became
friends. Our shared experiences, knowledge and
memories have been a step forward to our future
selves.
There was mutual support, positive reinforcement
and recognition of each other’s work. Some
students felt overwhelmed in their efforts to
overcome their physical and cognitive limitations.
We can also say that there was a continuous
exchange and sharing of information among all, a
timely disclosure – in the virtual space of the
project – of all the processes of work development
and a concerted accomplishment of the
collaborative tasks, which proved an essential
strategy in the motivation of the students, who
enjoyed the “immediate” feedback they received
upon completion of the tasks in which they were
involved. The videoconferences that the partner
schools had the chance to participate in were a very
significant and privileged moment of communication
for the partners to strengthen their bonds.
