-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------10th anniversary of eTwinning in the Zespół
Szkół w Pobiedziskach, Poland - 10 urodziny
eTwinning
by Magdalena Goc
This year we were celebrating the 10th
anniversary of eTwinning – transnational
programme of collaboration of kindergartens and
schools and promoting teachers’ professional
development.
For the first time the date 7th May became
Transnational eTwinning Day.
That is why in Zespół Szkół in Pobiedziska, Poland
we organized an interesting celebration with
videoconference with our partners form Crete.
While communicating in a Virtual Classroom, our
Greek partners prepared for us a surprise – posters
with an invitation to their beautiful country in Polish
(without mistakes!), wishes for holidays and a
melorecitation (wrap) of one of Homer’s song.
The school I would like
During the years I meet virtually many friends;
between them Gianfranco Zavalloni and I share
perfectly what he was writing about slow school. It
is also true that in eTwinning I meet a big number
of teachers sharing those ideas: a school taking
care of pupils’ needs, motivating them and doing –
slowly – big projects.
So thanks to all the friends I have met and who
helped me during 10 years of eTwinning!
Our pupils participated in an Art competition on
10th eTwinning anniversary and we announced
this contest’s results just on that day.
At the end of the videoconference each partner
sang “Happy Birthday” in their own language and
then together in English.
The meeting organizers in our school – Ewa
Olszewska and myself – prepared nice prizes for the
most hardworking students and… a sweet surprise:
