As a student teacher, I’m familiar with some of the tools mentioned, especially Google Docs or cloud platforms for sharing materials, but I haven’t used many global collaboration platforms yet. I can see their potential, though, for connecting teachers and exchanging ideas beyond the classroom.

I agree that not all teachers feel confident using digital technologies. It’s not just about access, but also about training and experience, which can limit how effectively these tools are used.

Regarding social media, I think platforms like Twitter or LinkedIn can be valuable for professional learning, although my experience is still limited. They seem useful for sharing resources, asking questions, and learning from other educators.

In terms of emerging tools, I’m aware of collaborative platforms, shared workspaces, and online communities that allow teachers to plan together, exchange materials, and co-design activities, making collaboration more flexible and continuous.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t “use” tools personally in the way teachers do, but I can definitely map what Reyhan is referring to and how these platforms are typically used in real teacher collaboration contexts.

Many of the tools usually mentioned in this kind of discussion fall into a few groups: learning management systems like Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams for Education, collaboration tools like Google Docs, Padlet, Miro, and Slack, and professional learning platforms such as Edmodo (older but still referenced), Moodle forums, and webinars hosted on Zoom or Microsoft Teams. On the social media side, Twitter (now often referred to as X), Facebook groups, and LinkedIn are widely used for informal professional learning communities, sharing resources, and discussing classroom practice.

Your point about skills is accurate in many real school environments. Not all teachers start with the same level of digital confidence. Some are very comfortable experimenting with new tools, while others may only use basic functions like email or attendance systems. The barrier is often less about willingness and more about time, training, and ongoing support. Without structured professional development, even good tools can remain underused.

Regarding social media for professional learning, its usefulness is quite mixed but real. Twitter/X, for example, has been widely used in education hashtags and live chats (like #EdChat) where teachers exchange ideas quickly and globally. Facebook groups tend to be more practical and community-based, often focused on subject teaching or national curricula. LinkedIn is more formal and useful for sharing articles, career development, and connecting with institutions. The strength of these platforms is immediacy and access to a global network of teachers; the weakness is information overload and varying quality of content.

Emerging technologies are pushing collaboration further. AI tools (like lesson-planning assistants, feedback generators, and chat-based tutoring systems) are increasingly used for co-planning and resource creation. Cloud-based collaborative suites (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365) are becoming more intelligent with real-time co-authoring and AI suggestions. Learning analytics dashboards help teachers collaborate by sharing student progress data. Virtual and augmented reality tools are also emerging for shared lesson design and immersive teaching experiences. Finally, professional learning networks are evolving into more structured online communities inside platforms like Microsoft Teams communities or dedicated teacher apps.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't heard of these platforms before, with the exception fo eTwinning, mostly because the technology has progressed so fast that most of these inovative ideas were surpassed by other platforms in a matter of years. I do like the ideas Reyhan had, about the importance of teacher collaboration withing school and between coutries and I think it can improve your awarness and creativity as a teacher.

As students today use phones, tablets, and other items in their routines and at school for the teachers is an opportunity to take advantage and use them in presenting contents and knowledge in new and innovative ways

# data[].attributes.body
I'ts very interesting!!

# data[].attributes.body
I have no experience with such a tool but I am happy to find out about it.

# data[].attributes.body
Faceook has helped me to become part of a number of professional development groups, both at a national level and at an international level. Thanks to these groups I keep myself updated on the latest trends in teaching methodology and digital literacy for teachers and students.  Thanks to such networks as Etwinning, European Schoolnet and Teacher's Academy I have attended a number of extremely interesting and useful courses and got in touch with experienced colleagues from which I am learning a lot. These communities help me to find new motivation and to feel less lonely when I feel overwhelmed by the workload. As for digital techologies, I am basically self-taught, but it is true that not all teachers are willing to experiment with new digital tools. I think this is due to a lack of time and motivation, which are two of the biggest problems we have to face nowadays.

I participated in a project between schools in Europe, being the only one in Brazil.
The Project was in commemoration of the International Year of Legumes.
We plant beans and for one year we follow the development of its stages in each country with its climate and evaluate its development
We work on nutrition, we produce newspapers with news of development.
We encourage consumption and arouse curiosity.
We use the character Mr Bean, which we translate would be Mr. Bean !!!
This work was finalist in the Global Junior Challenger resulted in an award in Campidoglio in Italy on the 27th my school was the winner and we received an excellent tribute with certificate, trophy and a medal

# data[].attributes.body
I had not heard of such tools and I am so happy to know about them. I will start using them soon. To better collaborate with other teachers I currently use whatsapp.

# data[].attributes.body
I have the notion that there are still many tools that I do not know, because every day new applications appear more and more interesting than the previous ones. However, it is up to us to choose the ones that please us best and that fulfil the objectives of the tasks we are planning. In my personal case I have a basic criterion for the selection of any tool: it has to be intuitive and easy to use.

One tool I have used in working with other colleagues has been Freedcamp. It’s a free solution for project management over the Internet, with task list, time management, possibility to share files, discussion panel of works and area to establish individual and group goals, we can also use rss to receive news related to a particular project.

Freedcamp has excellent visuals, with a dashboard that can contain widgets for tracking all the features, projects and tasks.

You can create as many projects as you want, with as many members as you want, by defining the accesses of each member in the project.

Regarding the use of social networks in working with other colleagues I think it is a plus since it facilitates and streamlines communication between peers. I use facebook and whatsapp pretty often.

I work on a daily basis with those tools. A few tasks ago we talked about creating a common language and iCT language is a great opportunity to do so,butI really understand that mostof the teachers aren't ready and the schools still dont's have the means at their and students disposal. I believe that that is the future but I don't think we should be surrounded by technology ordo activities ICT based only... it is a complement and as a resource shuld always be available, but the fact is that we don't need much - our celular phones woulddo much of the work.

Congratulations Reyhan! Thank you for sharing with us all these tools.
I strongly believe in Socrate's saying: "the aging learner''. I found that using Digital resources the delivery of the lesson is more effective and students behave better!

# data[].attributes.body
To tell the truth , I have heard of nearly all the platforms and digital tools mentioned by Reyhan in the video, except for edweb.net, which I checked right away and registered for the webinar using-twitter build PLN. I think that most likely it is not about teachers skills but it‘s about time and attitude that stops teachers from taking advantage of digital technologies. From my experience, I use Facebook, Skype, google docs, etwinning, iEARN for teacher collaboration. What I‘ve noticed is that teachers from different schools or even countries are more willing to collaborate than the teachers from the same school. It could be all about competition.

# data[].attributes.body
In this video, Reyhan Gunes shared a lot of enriching information of the tools presented. In what concerns me, I only use facebook. I have a teachers' group for sharing  ideas, opinions, materials, images...
I hope to try it  with colleagues  from others countries. I think it would be wonderful.

I use some of the tools that were suggested by Reyhan: Twitter, Google, Dropbox and other methodology to share documents between colleagues.
I agree with the last statement:
"We all know that teacher collaboration is among the cornerstones of school improvement. I would like to learn what are the best teacher strategies for digital collaboration"

# data[].attributes.body
Have you heard of all the platforms and digital tools mentioned by Reyhan in the video, and have you ever used them for teacher collaboration?

I heard of etwinning but I register only this year and I intend to explore and experiment it. The other platforms I never heard about and that’s why is so important to participate in this kind of courses because we get to know what other people are doing and using to innovate and to keep up with the 21st century skills.

Do you agree that not all teachers have the required skills to take advantage of digital technologies?

Yes, I agree with that. Sometimes I find colleagues that ask me for help as I’m an ICT teacher they expect me to know a lot of things about digital technologies. But I don’t think this is a serious problem since most of these people just need a little push.

Reyhan mentions social media networks, such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, as particularly useful spaces for teacher collaboration and professional learning. What is your experience with social media networks as they relate to teacher collaboration and professional learning? What emerging digital technologies are you aware of that can help teachers collaborate more efficiently?

I am registered in those platforms but done little or none teacher collaboration with them. For professional learning I find Facebook and Twitter useful if we follow the right people or pages, but these platform are also very distracting. When our schools started using moodle, there were moodle platforms just to show how to work with it and help teachers use the best way. I learned a lot from there. I also follow teacher’s blogs and use pinterest for infographics and ideas. The google account has a lot of potential and our school has an education account that provides a google account for every teacher but we are not yet taking full advantage of it.

# data[].attributes.body
I found different hints in Reyhan video and I would like to thank her for sharing such interesting piece of information. I didn't know about ISTE, ePals, PLN and I am almost new about eTwinning projects. The school where I've been working for the last year is not much equipped from the digital point of view. Nevertheless I hope there will be a change in the near future, since some recent political decisions.
Although I agree with the fact that not all teachers have the required skills to take advantage of digital technologies, I would like to say that I have been witness of very keen teachers on doing their work in difficult context, with very little technological support. I am pretty sure that digital resources can be very helpful for the educational community and also about the necessity that teachers gain the required skills to guide and support youngsters towards a future, more and more global.

who didn’t had any knowledge before, they started one day and now go on, I depends from the goals they set. Social media networks are helpful for collaboration and learning, but are too many and also they take a lot of time, you must be focused on what you want.
From the platforms mentioned, I use Google Docs for sharing documents and Facebook
It is the 2nd MOOC I have joined, the next thing I want to do is to participate in a Etwinning project.

# data[].attributes.body
I find the social media networks very useful, not only for teacher collaboration but also for collaboration with the students as well. I use it strictly for professional reasons and I always advise people who are scared of using social media to do the same. Our school also uses social media for coordination and collaboration. Thank you Reyhan for sharing all the platforms we can rely on.

# data[].attributes.body
Currently there is no widespread practice of collaborative work among teachers. This is due to various reasons, but in the education system there is a strong tendency to continue with pedagogies in which the teacher is an isolated element that relates only to his students following a book published by a publisher. Many teachers still do not have adequate levels when it comes to technologies, and have been educated with pedagogies that did not require collaboration. I think there is a lack of time for everything that is studied here to become generalized, but it is the responsibility of the University to adequately train new teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is important to have a basic digital literacy but it is not the most imporortant for teachers collaboration. I have used E-twinning platform

I never use this platforms in my classroom. I already knew etwinning but I never partecipate at some project

# data[].attributes.body
Among the platforms mentioned by Reyhan, I just heard of etwinning and I use it for now to learn to increment my teaching methods. They are less than a year member on this platform and for the time being are looking for project ideas and people interested in communication ... I try to adapt to new education, the needs of the growing students, to keep pace with the new platforms that appear and are useful in class. In the school where they teach, teachers are reluctant to use IT products and integrate them into the teaching process, and students find it harder if only a teacher tries to innovate teaching methods.

# data[].attributes.body
This  platforms using digital tools is properly used in incresing learning and collaboration with students. Its encourage proffesional learning and gives permanent feed-back to teachers due to the efficienty of learning process.

# data[].attributes.body
I have heard and used ePals, Dropbox and Google Docs. I know eTwinning community but I have never used or participated a project based on e Twinning. We are working on STEM projects in our school so we share materials and documents on WhatsApp and Google Docs. I agree that not all teachers have the required skills to take advantage of digital technologies. For example in our school there is still teachers who they cannot use Office Word. I use Facebook more when we compare others. I liked the pages about teaching and I am at groups that is about experiences of teachers from other countries. I think Skype would be more efficient if it would be used among the teachers and it helps to connect globally.

# data[].attributes.body
I am aware that not every teacher can easily work with ICT tools, but I also think they could at least try. I found interesting apps about scientific research or physical phenomena to connect what students study to reality.

# data[].attributes.body
I am a member of ePals and I have been using it for penfriend projects for my students. I agree with Reyhan on the fact that digital skills is needed for collaboration of teachers in different countries. I use social media facilities for discovering different practices around the world, getting information about teaching & learning and asking questions to teachers especially on Facebook teachers' groups.

# data[].attributes.body
I had heard of epals and eTwinning although I have never used them. I do use social networks a lot and find them pretty useful to connect and keep in touch. I've also used wikispaces a lot with my students and with a group of training teachers I coached. I've always been very happy with the results.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, Reyhan is right: not all teacher have the digital skills required for collaborating with other people on the other part of the Earth. Some of us, though, simply lack motivation and will.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the first time I hear about ePals or edWeb.net, but I am familiar with eTwinning and Facebook, as a Professional Learning Network. Facebook is one of the social media networks which helped me a lot. As Valentina said,  what I learned from my colleagues around the country and the world, transformed my teaching and transformed myself. I improved a lot my teaching strategy and my participation on this course it's a prove about what I learned on Facebook Teacher's Groups.

# data[].attributes.body
I have heard of most of the platforms and tools mentioned in the video, I use some of them, some I like more other less but I think it is a case of individual approach. I agree that not all teachers have the required skills to take advantages of digital technologies. I think it would be a great achievement to create common digital framework  for teachers at European level.
I often use social media - Twitter and Facebook for collaboration with other teachers and professionals in the field of EFL and education in general, I find it very useful and easy to use. I can't think of any emerging digital technologies that can help to collaborate more efficiently however I find opportunities as MOOC llike this one very useful and collaborative though I am not sure if the 'emerging digital technologies' is adequate term for MOOCs.

# data[].attributes.body
One of my desires for increasing my skills is cooperation between teachers. I do not know the ePals platform, of which she speaks; I am registered with eTwinning but I have not used it to create my own project or participate in other colleagues' projects. The main motivation is the lack of time and support from some of my class colleagues. I use Facebook and Twitter to learn about educational innovations and I am enrolled in many groups of teachers where I have learned the beauty of sharing. At school I promoted the use of Drive for collaborative writing of some documents, but getting to the full sharing of good practices is very difficult.

I already knew all the social media networks, mentioned and I use them to get in touch with my collegues but  not always to  collaborate with them. I'm aware that teacher collaboration and professional learning are essential for a school that wants to be in line with the times. I thinh that e-twinning is a wonderful tool  that can help teachers collaborate more efficiently.

# data[].attributes.body
I only knew the eTwining platform. Not so long ago, I didn’t know many digital and web 2.0 tools that I can use for teaching. Past year, I learned a lot and now I’m using it in teaching. It was simple for me because I had required skills, but that’s not true for all teachers.

Also, in my country, some teachers use Yammer network which helped me a lot with my professional learning.

# data[].attributes.body
The only platform I know is etwinning. I started using etwinning in 2015 and I love it. I discover several digital tools that I try to use in my classroom. I also use facebook to ask for advice about digital tools and other questions about collaborative teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
I, too, use collaborativo platforms and I am thoroughly convinced they are none but added value to our work, since they provide teachers with wider perspectives on our profession.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the platforms mentioned i didn't know, epals and edweb.com, and i found them very interesting.
As for digital skills I think they are important but not essential to collaborative work. They facilitate much tasks and allow communication in another dimension but collaborative work may start just with our co-teacher as Valentina showed us in previous module activity.
I find social media networks very demanding and absorbent and sometimes can deviate us from our focus. We should use digital and technological tools and not be used by them.
I agree with Reyhan when she finishes her video by showing there is a need for a simple and clear list of digital and technological tools, apps, ... with suggestions or examples. This would be a never ending collaborative teaching work that could be built online.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel confident enough with technology but I must admit I don't like fb, twitter or linkedin, I have used google docs to share ideas. I think I have to change my attitude. In my school a lot of colleagues are against technology because they are quite old and they don't realize they are an important key
to hook students.

# data[].attributes.body
I have already heard the digital tools mentioned by Reyhan, but unfortunately it isn't always possible to use them at school. The causes are different: the school lacking or the behaviour of some colleagues. I think the use of these tools could be interesting, motivating and can give students a great opportunity to improve themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
My experience of classroom collaboration with other colleagues is indeed reduced. When done, the good things achieved are usually minimized. I do not know if it is a cultural issue, but  teaching and learning processes' complexity is, often, seen as something whose solution needs a great deal of individualism.
Changing this logic requires time, opportunity, and (in some way) recognition of others (whether they are the students, the parents, or the peers and the board).
Of course, the domain of digital technologies, however intuitive they may be, is always a novelty and therefore difficult.
Changing the limits of comfort zones is always a problem. Let us remember that, for what happens, the learning has (in some way) to be recognized its practical utility. Otherwise, they are hardly put into practice.
The use of social networks by teachers allows them to highlight and share texts, videos and opinions i.e., collaborate in the construction of professional knowledge, I consider that this still happens in a very extemporaneous way. For example, schools and curriculum developers could organize this type of materials and make them available to all teachers. In my opinion, strategies like this, in addition to showing direction support to teachers' collaboration, help us to find solutions to their different professional difficulties.

# data[].attributes.body
I use Office 365 to connect with other teachers and my students. I also use Twitter to share ideas and resources with other teachers and education professionals. Twitter is a great way to keep abreast of conferences, resources, developments etc in education. I agree that some teachers, (inclluding myself) need upskilling on using digital technologies . However, I also think to become 'global' in outlook, sometimes we only have to look inside out classrooms and let the students bring the world into the lesson. There are over 50 nationalities in my school and I have found that students from all over the world bring an immense resource to so many learning activities and enrich the learning experience for both teacher and student alike.

# data[].attributes.body
There is no desire for collaboration, development
I rarely use Facebook to chat with the students

In my primary school career I worked in various collaboration situations. I agree that some teachers are still not very confident with the digital world, but it is also true that others use these application tools skillfully. My recent experiences at the eTwinning platform have shown me that in recent times the ability of teachers to use new technologies is on the rise and this is in favor of an innovative school in the immediate future.

# data[].attributes.body
As a teacher I participate in many online learning communities and this helps me to meet other teachers from all over the world and to exchange ideas and good practices. The MOOCS, like this one we participate for the moment is an excellent online tool and give us opportunities to learn from distance and to interact with other teachers.

With one other kindergarten teacher, we have created a common youtube channel for the collaboration of our classroom.

Facebook is one of my best sources about collaboration and sharing. In various groups I "met" lots of inspiring activities and colleagues, and I usually share ideas and questions with them.

I consider that technologie is the present and our students learn better when we use digital tools. We have the obligation to educate them in being responsible and in a good management of internet. For this reason we need to have some digital skills.
As teacher I use Google tools with other colleagues and og course different apps like socrative, kahoot, etc. and social networks as Whatsapp groups.

I heard about eTwinning, but I did not take part in such projects. I think after completing this course I will try to register on this site.
I agree that not all teachers have the necessary skills to take advantage of the benefits of digital technology. But if a theacher offers the students to do it, they will start work quickly.
Reagan mentions social networks such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn as useful areas for teacher collaboration and professional training. I agree. I have been registered there, but I have never used them in joint work and professional training.
I also use Google Docs, Google Sites, Google Community, Office 365.

I find Reyhan;'s approach interesting. I try to use tools like padlet edmonto, google drive, plickers Microsoft office 365, skype

# data[].attributes.body
Overwhelmed! WOW, thank you Reyhan Gunes :) I'm absolutely speechless with your video and all the contributions you gave us.
Unfortunately, most of the teacher's don't do a thing about their skills, they only just do what the curriculum says. I think most of us want to start using technologies in the classroom, but they are so many that we even know where we should start and how to use them to our projects.
Certainly, I'll use the resources that you announce in the future to reflect and to do more for teacher's collaboration and children's communication to improve their skills, their knowledge and their use with digital resources.

I really appreciate Reyhan's great enthusiasm to collaborate with other teachers from around the world. In this period of my professional life, that is after 25 years of teaching, I feel particularly enthusiastic in exploring new teaching models and as a teacher of English, collaboration with other teachers from around the world is a great opportunity I would like to share.

# data[].attributes.body
I find Reyhan's educational experience very interesting and I fully share it. I can bring my personal experience having participated in an Erasmus+ project in Spain on digital technologies and in particular on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram. The comparison with other teachers from other European countries has been very positive and very constructive. I tried to disseminate what I learned at school, but I did not always find myself willing and open to social media. Nevertheless, I have embarked on a process of sharing which I hope will lead to positive results.

Last year I started to join in etwinning projects. I know Reyhan teacher and follow her works. In etwinning projects generally we use dijital technologies which are mentioned by Reyhan teacher. We use Social media networks especially facebook for teacher collaboration and professional learning. However except etwinners the other teachers are not aware of dijital skills literally.

Probably digital skillsare not of every teacher but nowadays it's important to work supported by ICT bacause our students are digital born and they are attracted by those devices. In partcular they represent a great help to teach foreign languages because they offer the possibility to connect with native speakers and to know deeply the foreign culture. I use kahoot to warm up my lessons and my students aprreciate a lot........

I've already heard of the different platforms mentioned by Reyan but I haven't used them yet with students. I've used EDMODO or GOOGLE to share documents in courses for teachers. In my school we are now trying for the first time to use shared Google docs to write a lesson plan collaboratively. I sometimes get inspiration from different groups of teachers from all over the world on FACEBOOK.

By joining eTwinning, teachers and other school staff will become part of the 'Community for schools in Europe' and benefit from endless opportunities.

Collaborate with and get inspired by other colleagues in Europe

In eTwinning, teachers organise and run on-site and online activities with their students along with colleagues from countries participating in the Erasmus+ programme. They engage in collaborative projects with the support of the TwinSpace environment. National Support Organisations are responsible for validating user registrations for becoming eTwinners, thus keeping the platform safe, providing support and guidance, and recognising teachers' work with National and European Quality Labels. The annual eTwinning book features the most innovative projects. Excellent projects are rewarded eTwinning European Prizes and become part of the project gallery.

Share with peers

The eTwinning community is made up of thousands of teachers and educators who share a vision of inclusive schools, using information and communication technology in a meaningful way, and making the most of 21st-century skills. eTwinners meet and network online, at school, at eTwinning events and conferences, and wherever they can inspire other teachers to better educate students. On the European School Education Platform, the eTwinning area offers project kits, practice examples, testimonials, and an online environment where eTwinners can communicate, create projects, share, and learn together at their own pace in line with their interests.

Upskill together

Lifelong learning is essential for teachers and eTwinning community members benefit from webinars, short and long online courses (including MOOCs), self-teaching materials, conferences, and other on-site professional development opportunities where they meet experts in many fields and improve their skills. These events allow teachers to network, learn together, and feel part of the same community.

eTwinning also provides opportunities for future teachers to get support when starting their careers.

Promote and celebrate

Like all communities, eTwinning has key events. A yearly theme is the focus of two online campaigns - in spring and autumn - where eTwinners share ideas, plan projects, produce materials, and learn together. And every year on 9 May, the community celebrates Europe Day as eTwinning Day with activities that make eTwinners feel part of something unique, wherever they are.

Become a protagonist

eTwinning Ambassadors are the pillars of the community. They are selected at a national level, provide training and support and share their energy and enthusiasm, making eTwinning grow every day. Get information from your National Support Organisations about how to become one of them!

The schools that are awarded the eTwinning Schools Label are models of the principles that inspire eTwinning, shared leadership, collaboration and sharing, students as agents of change, inclusion, and pedagogical innovation. Stay tuned to see when applications open!

Anyone can become an eTwinning Ambassador, and any school can get the eTwinning School Label.

What does the eTwinning platform offer?

eTwinners can network, share, and collaborate with other registered eTwinners and schools by connecting through the social networking features offered, and by engaging in Rooms, eTwinning groups, and European projects.

Rooms are micro-groups that allow eTwinners to take part in video-conferencing sessions supported by a forum and a file archive.

eTwinning groups are virtual places where eTwinners meet and discuss specific subjects, topics, or other areas of interest. Featured Groups are groups coordinated by the CSS and moderated by experienced eTwinners).

eTwinning projects include activities on different topics and key competences involving two or more teachers and their students. Each project has its own TwinSpace, a free-to-use, safe platform that is only accessible to other eTwinning members in the project, your selected guests, and your selected pupils.

eTwinners can also join the online professional development opportunities organised by the European School Education Platform. Some of these offers will be tailored to the specific interests and needs of eTwinners and be available exclusively to them:

Short online courses are intense and enjoyable and introduce teachers to a topic, stimulate ideas, and help them develop their skills.

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are 4-6 weeks in length and require 12 - 25 hours of learning time during this period. Participants are free to conduct the activities at a time of their convenience during the duration of the course. A certificate is offered upon successful completion.

Webinars are live one-hour long online video sessions where teachers have the chance to learn about and discuss a variety of themes.

Webinar series are two webinar sessions that are connected by an interactive online activity.

Online conferences and events are designed for and dedicated to specific target audiences and themes.

You are not eligible to join eTwinning?

Only school staff can join the eTwinning community. If you are not a member of staff at a school, you can still enjoy and network in other sections of the European School Education Platform free of charge. Discover all these opportunities here. eTwinners can invite non-eTwinners to specific projects.

I found Reyhan's video very interesting! I would like to explore new digital platforms like ePals or tools like edweb.net, they are new for me. The one I know who was mentioned by her is eTwinning, which I find pretty interesting, well developed, always growing in quality, my experience with it is wonderful.

It happens quite often that not all teachers have the required skills, but enganging those colleagues that have not experience becames always a great school for them!  That´s why so enriching and it's worth, if they have the attitude to collaborate, that's the main important thing, every skill needed can be adquired!

About those social media networks like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn as tools for collaboration, I´m not fan of Facebook and I don´t use LinkedIn so I can't say about it. From those three the one that I find personally more interesting is Twitter: concrete, fast and precise messages.
In general I  think that we should use them with moderation, specially those extremely commercial and less safe like Facebook. I used sometimes in the past edModo and it was a very good experience, but for my lessons I prefer a more controlled environment working for example with Twinspace or LMS like Chamilo.

I find very interesting tools to collaborate GoogleApps for education (maps, drive, docs...), Wikispaces, EdModo, WeTransfer, eXelearning, Calameo, Issuu, ClassTools, Zunal, edHelper, Kubbu, Bubbl.us, wisemapping, glogster, quickmaps...

At school we work with Office 365, allowing you to share documents and papers. In training actions we have worked with Google plus and with facebook.

I heard the digital tools Reyhan teacher mentioned. I used Dropbox from them. I used Dropbox while working with a teacher in a course in a doctor. Dropbox allows multiple people to work together and collaborate on the same work. I think it's useful. Apart from that, Google Docs is still collecting data from many people in a short period of time. I think social media networks like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn are very useful for teacher collaboration and vocational learning. I am especially following a lot of science-related groups and pages. I share experiences and experience others' experiences. sometimes very creative ideas can emerge. I think it's a good source of inspiration.

# data[].attributes.body
I used e-Twinning Space, Scientix, European SchoolNetAcademy and social media networks: Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I heard and I know linkedin and twitter but onestly I don't use those very often...I think I should change my instruments and method with its help!

# data[].attributes.body
I've heard and used some of the platforms and digital tools Reyhan mentions in her video. I've also started with ePals for finding pen pals for my students and then moved on to eTwinning. I agree that integrating digital technologies into our lessons and curriculum requires certain skills and knowledge in order to take advantage of their full potential. However, like everything else, these skills can be improved and teacher collaboration is a great way to enhance our knowledge and skills on using ICT in our classrooms. I'm not very comfortable with using social media networks for collaboration with other teachers yet, and I prefer more personal and safe environments for communication, like the eTwinning platform.

# data[].attributes.body
I've heard about all the tools Reyhan mentioned in the video but I confess that I rarely use twitter and linkedin. Never have use it to collaborate with others.
In my school the geology and biology teachers share an email and everyone of us uploads on the dropbox all the documents made for every class so everyone can use it. I don't like this way of sharing because someone can easily delete the mail and all the work of everybody will be gone. In my experience in my previous school and in the eTwinning projects I've done ( Challenge as a Modern Pedagogical Tool -http://www.challengeproject.eu/about-the-project) we shared and prepared materials using the google various tools: dropbox, google forms, sheets, etc, we also had a facebook page for teachers and another for the community of teachers, students and parents and we worked with edmodo. From that project, I've started to work sometimes in collaboration with teachers from other schools, because in my school only a few teachers wants to do it. In this group we share ideas and answer each others questions about how to introduce a topic or a tool. It is much more fullfiling.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I agree with Reyhan. Most teachers do not yet use digital tools in their lessons. Social media reinforces communication and sharing among teachers. Scientix, SchoolEducationGateway and EuropeSchoolNetAcademy are important sharing portals.

I am an eTwinning Ambassador and I find the platform really useful to collaborate with teachers, families and stakeholders. Not all teachers have the required competences but I find it intolerable nowadays. Technologies can innovate the teaching practice, create and enhance collaborative approaches and promote professional learning.
I use Facebook to disseminate school activities, collaborate with other teachers and join Facebook clubs. It is very popular and can help teachers collaborate more efficiently.

# data[].attributes.body
Actually, at the moment I'm collaborating with other 4 European countries in a project called 'Swapping letters and postcards around Europe'. I found and chose my partner countries on a Facebook group. This social is very useful to spread collaboration among teachers. For the first time, this year I've tried the platform 'Penpalschools' with three classes of mine. I must say it's very engaging for students. I chose two interesting topics, 'Immigration' with a class where are three immigrants in and 'Fake news' that is really interesting to make students aware of a false news and distinguish real news from fake news. It is very useful for my students to practise English chatting with unknown penpals all around the world and debating on a specific topic. It's appealing! So yes, I think it's essential to use technology to collaborate and I always benefit from it.

# data[].attributes.body
My unique experiences of collaboration on-line were in occasion of English courses like this one. Even on that occasion there was a platgorm on Facebook where we could share our ideas and jobs. I find it really interesting because I can compare with people who have the same practical problems like me.

# data[].attributes.body
In my experience of teachers collaboration I used mainly Dropbox, and emails of course when we were working in the afternoon or in the evening. I know and use personally some other platforms mentioned but I didn't use them for teaching collaboration. I absolutely agree that not all the teachers have the required skills to take advantage of digital technologies.

# data[].attributes.body
Unfortunately, not all teachers work together but, as in my experience, we need to find those colleagues who want to improve their teaching and build a new path to them ... Fortunately, I have two colleagues who collaborate and share "a new teaching". And it's great to work together!

Dear friends i am agree with the Reyhan that  teacher should have the knowledge of the e-learning and the technology. Technology is very important  for the teachers  these days. i started a website for the online teaching for the Science students.

you can visit and you can see my efforts for my students.

I found this very interesting

Todays every teacher should be able to manage digital tools like social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and other useful e-learning environments like Moodle, Edmodo or a repository of images and animations as Powtoon. These gadgets help to communicate and transmit the topics of our lesson in an attractive way to our students. They belong to the millennials generation, they were born in houses surrounded by tablets, smartphones, video station and they learned to use them in the first age of their childhood. For these reasons, we must communicate with them using all digital media because the old way to do a lesson, with chalk and talk, is no more effective.

# data[].attributes.body
It was really motivating to hear about these platforms because I only knew Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter.
The way how my Linkedin connections work is not ideal for teacher collaboration unfortunately. On the other hand it gave me the hint that it can be used for purposes like this. I would like to be careful with Facebook on the other hand I know more and more people use this online platform for work build carrier network etc.
What sounded interesting were ePal and eTwinning. Especially the international teacher community is important for me because I would like to start building an international partnership project between schools. For this project I need international school communities.
Using digital technologies and its requirement cannot be an exact tool for any teacher. Websites, applications etc can be used for different tasks so I think instead of giving a written "list" about digital tools that are required in a classroom we should teach them the opportunity how to use it.

# data[].attributes.body
I used e-Twinning space, of all mentioned.

I found this testimony very interesting. I had not heard of all the platforms and digital tools mentioned by Reyhan in the video. He was totally unaware of ePals. I have already become familiar with this tool that I find quite interesting. He did not know it! It is always good not to feel isolated in the classroom and have these tools available to us and our students. As I have been working with the eTwinning Portal for some years, I already knew some of the tools I used for teacher collaboration. Admittedly, not all teachers have the skills to harness digital technologies and I agree with Reyhan when he mentions social networking networks such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn as particularly useful spaces for teacher collaboration and professional learning. She often planned eTwinning's work on facebook with colleague Checa. It was the social network of excellence of the two teachers and thus related the collaboration of teachers and professional learning. Facebook, Twiter, Linkedin, PLN, Cliptomize, Skype, and email are emerging digital technologies that can help teachers collaborate more effectively.

# data[].attributes.body
I know and have used some of the digital tools Reyhan mentions for teacher collaboration, like the social networks and especially etwinning. I totally agree with Reyhan and the idea of a global collaborative teaching, the idea of going beyond the walls of our classrooms. However, it is true that not all teachers welcome technology, and prefer the old paths.

# data[].attributes.body
I heard all of the platforms and digital tools mentioned by Reyhan in the video but I haven't used all of them yet.

In Macedonia we have Facebook group which members are math teachers. I this group we share ideas, lesson plans, presentation, worksheets, tests etc. We use also webinars in which our colleges share their ideas, activities and projects.
