-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Path structure
The project was divided into the following phases:
1st phase: "research partner schools and
collaborative writing project"
1. The design process started by the proposed
design launched by Ambassador Bridget
Clement in a designated area of the
desktop, called "find eTwinners", the
eTwinning Portal, which can be reached
after a recording in the home. Through this
function, the proposal was viewed by all
faculty members and the community, those
concerned have expressed their intention to
participate. Subsequently, with the consent
of an English teacher, the project was sent
to the National Support Service for
approval. The Italian teacher and English
teacher, with the approval of the project,
have become the founding partners of the
project, all the others, however, partner
administrators. The difference is purely
operational, because the content and
activities all partners are treated.
2. With the approval, the project became
operational nell'are dedicated the
TwinSpace where, as a first step, was
shared a map of work in order to the
different phases of the project, on which the
partners have agreed on the design
process.
3. The success of a project, in fact, is
entrusted not only to attain the objectives,
but also - and perhaps especially - the
design process followed. For a European
project is essential to assess how the
mutual involvement of the partners.
4. The teachers of the different partner
schools have started to design considering
the idea and themes from which moved the
project to direct activities towards the
achievement of shared goals as a team
work. But also and above all built in
collaboration with distant actors,
representatives of different cultures,
adopting new ways of working, leaving us
to question, in an exchange that virtuality
can make frequent, allowing you to manage
the "as you want, whenever you want,
wherever want "information, much better
than the meetings in person. In eTwinning
project, perhaps more than in other
experiences of collaboration, the European
value of the experience is inherent in the
way of dialogue taken to effectively
implement cooperation. Since then
exchanges that take place through
information and communication
technologies, it was important to acquire
and implement new technical skills, and the
ability of evaluation and selection of tools to
be adopted for the different activities of the
project.
2nd phase: "To work together to know each ..."
The partner schools, Italy, England, Greece,
Turkey, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Slovenia
have used the space for the eTwinning platform,
the TwinSpace, to communicate via chat and
forums, and to share personal presentations, the
schools and the territory carried out by teachers
with the help of the students, with application
software (PowerPoint), online tools (Glogster) or
directly on the pages of the wiki TwinSpace.
As part of this approach, media education, and then
choose the right tool and learn how to use it for
what it offered by the instrument, was used to fully
grasp the meaning of a twinning.
The pupils have had a real reason to learn to use a
new instrument and the teachers have a
methodological approach to teaching operation,
based on the
