1 Smile Makes 2 Smiles

1 Smile Makes 2 Smiles is title of a new eTwinning project for  students of class I G.
This project is focused on sharing happiness and promoting understanding among nations, friendshop and international collaboration. Students of partner schools will work on several tasks such as collaborative video making, designing logos, posters and T-shirt, writing "happy" journals and looking for ways to make others happy.

Aims

• Share happiness;
• Show the importance of positive attitude; 
• Let students collaborate with foreign peers;
• Let students work in teams, collaborate, communicate, plan, be creative, solve problems, present results and evaluate;
• Promote modern ways of teaching and learning;
• Develop competencies (special focus on social and civic competence, communication in foreign languages, digital competence, cultural awareness and expression, sense of initiative and entrepreneurship);
• Increase students’ motivation towards learning; 
• Improve students’ English skills; 
• Bring European dimension to schools. 

After students have created their profile in the twinspace of the project and after having created a video to introduce themselves they are now working on drawing the logo for the project. 
Here is a padlet with all the logos:

Our school by II G

Students of class II G created a presentation on their school for their friends of the eTwinning project "Let's play EU 60".
They have been divided in teams and two of them worked on a video and audio presentation of their school.
First they decided what to describe, then they wrote some sentences on the place or on the project they choose and at last they recorded their descriptions using an iPad and the app called "Sparkadobe".

Here is the result: it's really a very nice job!



Other teams are working on the description of their town and region. Their work will come soon!

eTwinning in action all'I. C. Attigliano - Guardea

Lunedì 07 novembre 2016 ho avuto l'opportunità di presentare le potenzialità di eTwinning  a un gruppo di colleghi dell'I. C. Attigliano - Guardea (TR). 
Abbiamo iniziato con un brainstorming utilizzando il tool "answergarden" per rompere il ghiaccio e per confrontarci.

La D. S. Elvira Busà ha inrodutto i lavori sottolineando l'importanza di etwinning in una didattica per competenze in un'ottica di cittadinanza digitale ed europea. 



In seguito ho illustrato alcuni degli aspetti della piattaforma, gli obiettivi principali, i vantaggi e gli svantaggi con il powerpoint che potete trovare qui







Sono passata poi passata direttamente sulla piattaforma ad illustrare come ricercare un partner, come aprire un progetto, ecc. 





 I docenti già in possesso di un account etwinning hanno avuto la possibilità di provare la piattaforma in tempo reale e tutti hanno comunque avuto modo di vederne le pagine principali. 



Infine ho anche lasciato i "compiti per casa": ho chiesto, tra le altre cose, di scrivere un commento sul padlet seguente.

Ancora un grande GRAZIE a tutti per l'attenzione, l'interesse, la voglia di mettersi in gioco che mi avete trasmesso!
