-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------knowledge and skills are intertwined, and where
they have been able to free their spirit of initiative
and taste the satisfaction of reaching goals which
they have never coveted and desired.
The experience of eTwinning has become an
indispensable tool in the teaching / learning
processes within the different courses of our school.
Thanks to eTwinning hundreds young Melitesi have
shortened the distance among their European
peers, it has allowed them to confront them.
Talking about eTwinning with colleagues and
students always produces a certain impact. They
have not been very confident with e-twinning,
however, thanks to the latest achievements, they
have begun to be interested in this experience in its
widest meaning: multiculturalism.
At the end of the event, but not as the last thing to
single out on such a day, full of subject matter, we
can admit that only the idea of working as a team
with the help of the new technologies, can really
help us let our students grow up and mature, as
well as it giveswe teachers, who "patiently" take
care of them, the satisfaction that the work we do
in the classroom doesn’t make us only evaluate a
given content by expressing a mark , but our work
has a real value if it can contribute to rise interest
and enthusiasm in children, if we are successful in
giving them some hints to make them acquire a
new way of thinking. The relevance of our teaching
and educational action is valid only if we contribute
to our pupils’ personal growth.
It’s clear that, if from one side the use of the
impact with the technological – educational
innovation has been accepted with some reluctance
by a large number of teachers, from the other side
more and more teachers have adopted the
eTwinning methodology within their syllabus, which
allowed them to improve their teaching so much
that they have got results above their initial
expectations.
A school that guarantees the interaction among the
counties by breaking down the country borders,
"here and now", allows a continuous training of
both students and teachers, confidence with the
new technologies, but above all, it increases the
sense of belonging to the European Union.
During the event, after the introduction about the
advantages of the eTwinning platform, numerous
foreign partners, teachers and students, who have
worked in the school projects during this school
year, took part in the conversation.
The event ended with the cutting of the cake and
with the hope that, in the near future, our school
may get some more awards to confirm the great
validity of teaching and learning with eTwinning.
