Twitter

Social media has become a very useful tool for teachers and students. It has become one of the most important ways to publish experiences and to share knowledge. Although I'm used to them, I didn't take much profit of those media for interacting with other teachers or professionals of education.

Today, I realised it is probably the best way to do it, so I opened a new Twitter account (@LightTeacher) and I posted my first tweet:

"eTwinning is a perfect tool to develop your PBL in a real context by sharing your projects with other European schools "

After participating in an Erasmus +, I strongly believe that international PBL projects are really motivating for students and also for teachers. Now, I think it is time to find ways to create new projects with other European countries. This is why I wrote that tweet about eTwinning, because I think it is a very good tool to achieve it.

I have also read different tweets from other partners and one thing I noticed is that there are some words which are repeated several times: collaboration, learning, projects, Europe... Are there better words to define eTwinning?

Portfolio

As a teacher, the most important thing is not teaching, but don't stop learning. This is my portfolio, a personal tool to publish the evidence of what I've done and what I've learnt. This time, I'm doing a MOOC called Open eTwinning: Project -Based-Learning and the Community for Schools in Europe. So, let's start!

Planning my e-Twinning project

In this third module of the MOOC, I designed my first e-Twinning project. In my school, students have been planning the end-of-the-school trip for several years and it has been very successful. this time, we have been doing a cooperative project, using the puzzle technique.  For this reason, I think it is a very good idea to develop it with an international school. You can see a first draft of the project design: https://www.canva.com/design/DADJilzrmeQ/uQudJI98KG4WiYCKXPVO6A/view I hope you enjoy it!

Planning an activity

ACTIVITY: Accomodation Brief description: students need to look for accomodation for their trip to the partner's country. Students from Barcelona will propose three good places to stay in their city, taking into account the location close to the school, the prize and the service. They will propose them in the blog we share. Then, students from the other European country will write an email to those accomodations in which they will ask for availability, prize, and other information they need. Then, the other European country will do the same. When they have the final accomodation, teachers will book it. Then, students will present it to their parents, together with the rest of parts of the projects, in a final presentation. Main objectives: - To write an email in English. - To look for information about accomodation in a real context. - To cooperate to find accomodation in both countries. Cooperation: Both countries will help the other to find the accomodation by giving
