“For my health” is a special collaborative
eTwinning project, involving students led by
teachers. It has 38 partners and 309 students and
the work was more than fruitful, with exchanging
our experience and learning a lot one from each
other during the activities in this project as based-
gaming learning.
The project had the aim of improving skills that are
integrated into the curriculum, also with accent on
collaborative work in teams, in class with students
and teachers, together. The activities were diverse
and the presentations were led very synthesisingly,
professionally and clearly by the main coordinator,
Nesrin Kurt from Turkey. Pedagogical methods were
focused on developing the skills for searching and
studying on one’s own, to be aware about health in
general, style of healthy living, diseases and
effects. Also the strategies of teaching through this
project were organising groups, collaboration in the
class and between partner-teams, individually,
practical activities and many collaborative and
dissemination actions. Their work results were
presented using various education digital web 2.0
tools – collage-photos, logos voted, videos, quizzis,
genialy, picture-collage, questionnaires and reports
of their collaborative work. The project has
organised pages, with many parts and spaces
added for presentation like: introduction, web-site
of the project; page of IT tools used, presenting
schools, partners, students’ teams; the obligatory
netiquette rules to follow; the plans for the monthly
work on monthly theme announced. We worked
collaboratively, for the final products of the project,
