Colleagues
I have met and worked with some very special
colleagues through eTwinning. I am very sad to
report that one of the teachers in the school in
Rome, Susanna Serpe, passed away during the
project. I met Susanna in Lisbon at an eTwinning
conference and she became a very dear colleague;
we worked on a number of projects together. Even
despite the language difficulties caused by her
illness, she tried to follow the project and asked
Paola Arduini to report to everyone how she missed
the school and eTwinning projects. She was always
very supportive and enthusiastic and I will greatly
miss her.
UK Prize
The project was awarded the accolade of best UK
eTwinning project for 2014-2015 at the UK national
conference in June 2015. The assessor's comments
included: “…encompasses the whole school team
approach, fully collaborative and delivering
motivating active-learning actions throughout;
immaculately planned, delivered and recorded on
the twin space to an extremely high standard; use
of innovative technologies to ensure full partner
participation and engagement is outstanding, with
live joint Carol singing and highly creative crosscurricular activities; genuinely integrated into the
school curriculum and those of the partner schools;
very imaginative feedback processes employed in
this project, evaluations from the students and
staff; a classic eTwinning project and the legacy
materials generated provide a wonderful resource
for others to use; a most impressive and exemplary
eTwinning project.”
