Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2019 Newsletter
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My students worked together and agreed on
content and design in their respective groups – they
had shared responsibility and their work was
interdependent. Thus they developed their
collaborative skills. They also did a splendid job at
revising their work based on feedback from teacher
and peers, being able to monitor their own work,
with the prospect of being capable of taking
responsibility for their lives, work and ongoing
learning in the future. Today’s complex world
demands such self-regulated thinkers and learners!
The activity was a very successful one, and I am
determined to apply this learning model to other
lessons as well. I warmly recommend it – it will
have an impact on better preparing your students
for life and work with STEM in the 21 st century.
