I joined an eTwinning project last year, with my class in Italy and two classes in Romania and Greece. We didn't have tablets yet, and we missed them...

It was a successfull project. I appreciated the communication between citizens from foreign countries (pupils and teachers) and the knowledge of the tools of the web, and the positive involvement of parents in the school life of the students.

SUCCESS FACTORS OF SCHOOL-TO-SCHOOL COLLABORATION PROJECTS

I am not etwinner yet but i think some of the success factors might be:-

1. To learn to work with others

2. Many ideas come out

3. Students improve their communication skills

# data[].attributes.body
I m eTwinner sınce 2012 and I make many eTwinning project.My pupils have 2 student tablet and they use tabler for eTwinning project.(eTwinning project subject code and learn englısh)

# data[].attributes.body
My experience with school- to-school collaboration was through an european project , where classes from 6 countries (Portugal, Spain, Greece, Itali, austria and Netherlands coul work in projects related to personal interests. Through this pilot the students could learn how to manage projects (phases, roles, ICT tools using social media, english presentations through Google hangouts...)

# data[].attributes.body
We are already doing some collaboration projects with different school, and it goes great and very fast with the tablet... Much faster than with a computer, since we don't need extra computer room, cause we do all things via tablet (fotos, films, etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
I have not heart about eTwinning before I go to this course. When I check the website quickly, I find it is a very interesting website and it seems to be a perfect tool for school-to-school collaboration project. I hope to find some project that match the language I teach and hopefully to test eTwinning to  autumn with my students. Because I am totaltly new to eTwinning, there are a lot of questions I have. I need more time to test and think about how to apply this tool to my teaching and motivate students Creation.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks to this course we can now go further with our etwinning projects using tablets, a few years ago we used Comenius to develop etwinning projects, now with Erasmus +, all became difficult and we could not succeed with such a project, this would work for us if we manage to get personal tablets at school

# data[].attributes.body
I am eTwinner since 2013,i have learn very exiceted things with etwinning. Learning event,online seminar is ver useful for me.

And i use safer internet application in my classroom. So eTwinning is wonderful world for me :)

# data[].attributes.body
I am already registered in eTwinning and I familiarized with the concept and the potential that Etwinning collaboration can bring to school of different countries. I already make part of a small projects but never go further. However, at this moment I am thinking how can I implement a project with several countries for the next school year (perhaps using tablets).

# data[].attributes.body
I'm an eTwinner since 2009 and I've learned so much from the learning events, teacher rooms and projects.

The collaboration throug the teachers and students give us new ideas and creative ways.

We used skype education meetings and the students like to work and see their partners.

We hope to use tablets in the next years, because my students haven't tablets. I bring my own tablet to school and the teams work with it in station groups.

# data[].attributes.body
I am one of many eTwinners, but I haven´t used tablets for the projects, because we haven´t had any a tour school. I hope I will be able to try tablets next school year.

# data[].attributes.body
I am eTwinner and we have ongoing several projects, do I Know the advantages of eTwinning projects. My students created several works which we later posted on the platform, we made video-conferences with other schools, but since we started this year to use the tablet still we did not sharing, exploiting the tablet, with other schools, certainly once you will become more experienced in using these instruments, I intend next year to accomplish with sharing work with other foreign countries.

# data[].attributes.body
E-Twinning project is a great platform to organize school-to-school collaboration projects in Europe. I am a member but I have not yet developed a project. My school is currently working witj a French, a Bekgian and a Romanian School in a Comenius plus proposition and hopefully our collaboration will make use of as mamy as possible e-twinning tools.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, the Tablets could help us to work more effectively on eTwinning projects...

# data[].attributes.body
Although I'm an eTwinner, I haven't

had the opportunity to take part in an eTwinnning project yet.

If you want your school-to-school project to succeed, you need devices (computer or, better, tablets), a good Internet connection. If you use tablets, you need also wifi conection in order to connect with the device from everywhere in your school. You need technical support too.

In the project, every partner must be involved. Tasks and objectives must be clearly defined and students must be often in contact with their peers abroad and produce something together.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never participated in such projects between several schools. If we have not shared any digital time activity, but not of this magnitude. I think these experiences are very interesting for students, teachers and parents. We can learn from each other, unique experiences and work collaboratively to coordinate the whole process in foreign environments.

# data[].attributes.body
My experience in e-twinning is limited and we always have worked with some materials to begin with and then our students in a side and the others on their own, made their part of the project.

In the experience of the video I like the idea of international groups because this enforces the cooperation in between students of different nationalities. I think this is something I should bear in mind for future projects.

# data[].attributes.body
I am an Etwinner since 2009. I am so happy to be it because I could find a real way to show how O love working, and Etwinning is that.

I vividly believe that Etwinning is the real way to change school and to have optimal results in it.

I have done about 20 Etwinning projects and 3 comenius projects. I always use IT, but I can't always use tablets because hey are not always available. But we have videochats as frecquently as possible, and we work on different apps always it is possible. Students love discovering that other students like them are doing the same thing behind the screen.

# data[].attributes.body
I am also an etwinner but I haven’t worked with an eTwinningproject that only used ipads but we used them in some of our projects to take pictures and document what we did. THe success factors with working with eTwinning are plenty, but here is some of them:

1. you learn new technique,

2. you learn about how others in your own age are living in other parts of Europe,

3. collaboration

4. problemsolving

5. to be thourough

6. motivation for the subject/subjects

# data[].attributes.body
A school-school cooperation opens students views about different realities and how they deal with the same problems, as well as learning how to have respect to others in a global society. So, different skills are workout, don't remaining only inside the classroom, and let others students participate in a shared constructed knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not an etwinner yet, but it seems an interesting project to share the knowledge, and experience. The success factors to scholl to school colloboration is that gives a good opportunity  to learn about different cultures, traditions and people in different countries . Also you can exchange opinions about new teaching techniques.

I attended a seminar eTwinning in Sevres (France) in 2011. This is my report for the eTwinning italian website.

I'm an eTwinning ambassador and I know the advantages of eTwinning projects very well. I worked at many projects so far. Last year collaborating with a teacher and a class of a Lyceè in Marseille was great! The title was "I am what I am" and the students shared a lot of tasks and products using many different tools: Twinspace, Glogster, Google Drive, Realtime Board, Titanpad. They really enjoyed it and improved their communication skills a lot with an important contribuition to their self-esteem

# data[].attributes.body
I´m planning a collaboration project with two nearby schools.
For now the main challenge is teachers collaboration with the preparation of the project. Gathering the experiences, ideas and work projects has been a challenge within a challenge.
We hope it will have the same effects on our students.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not an etwinner yet, but it seems an interesting project to share the knowledge, experience and learn together. The collaboration requires common goals, a shared vision and a climate of trust and respect. To be motivated to collaborate, participants must feel that collaboration is an asset and that they have the knowledge and skills needed to be successful partners.

I think the biggest succesfactor to school-school collaboration is developing friendship and investing in the project and partner school. Showing interest in the other part and sharing of your own and who you are.

# data[].attributes.body
The succes factor of school to school collaboration is finding the right partners, respecting them and continuing the collaboration from one year to another. A project we are involved in and i particularly love is this one: „Let s get down to e-bussiness!”

# data[].attributes.body
Last year we tried the K2 of the Erasmus project but we failed :-(. We have used etwinning to find our partners. We'll try again but in the meanwhile we are developing our friendship we the other European schools. The successful factors are a collaborative attitude ( we are a sort of group right!), ICT, funds, and enthusiasm.

# data[].attributes.body
I adore eTwinning!!! Last year and this year I collaborate with a collaege from Estonia. What a wonderful experience! Our this years' project has to do with Apps for iOs & Android tablets [http://twinspace.etwinning.net/5711/home] We let the students to try them and after that, the students decide to use some of them to produce a video, a fotostory ...

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not an etwinner yet, but it seems an interesting project to share the knowledge, experience and learn together. It gives a good opportunity also to learn about different cultures, traditions and people in different countries in addition to the subject or task they complete together.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not from Europe and I didn't know about eTwinning, but I think it is amazing. The main factor of success that I can be is teacher's motivation and preparation for the project in both schools. The group should have technical support, good organization and clear rules. I would like to take part of a school-to-school collaboration soon.

# data[].attributes.body
I’ve never used e+twinning, but I know that it can be a success factor especially for communication  with other countries.

I ’ve not had, till now, opportunities to collaborate with other schools, not even in the town where I teach. I think it could be really positive to collaborate and learn together.

But this could happen only if

t here is good communication between the teachers and  between the students

the task are motivating and not too difficult

there are clear and shared  rules

each partner  knows exactlywhat is his role.

# data[].attributes.body
I had never heard about eTwinner. I think it's very possitive for the students to meet others students from other countries and learn together!

# data[].attributes.body
During this school year i organised my first etwinning project with another school from Greece and a school from France. As we don't have tablets in our schools, we used school's pc for our cooperarion and communication

# data[].attributes.body
Last year I had a great project with a colleague from Italy and another from Poland and I learned a lot about good cooperation and collaboration between students:

a good preparation

regular skype sessions between the teachers

google docs to coordinate the cooperation

discuss the changes - show flexibility

respect the timeframe but also the difficulties for each class

learn from each other

let the students communicate and work outside the project for example on facebook or whatsapp - they come closer and work better, they become friends

discuss problems and search together for solutions

plan more communication phases like skype oder for the beginning chat meetings

In the blog you can see all the activities and the results of our project

I am an eTwinner and have some projects but we have not yet used tablets to develop any of those projects. They would have been helpful in various phases of one or two of the projects but the teachers from the various schools did not use these tools.

The success factors are good initial planning (establishing all our goals, which tasks are going to be developed and when) and a good school-to-school communication system.

The collaboration requires common goals, a shared vision and a climate of trust and respect. To be motivated to collaborate, participants must feel that collaboration is an asset and that they have the knowledge and skills needed to be successful partners. Collaborate presupposes an interaction style that does not occur if isolation and if there is coercion. Indeed, one cannot force anyone to collaborate and the individual has to participate in this interaction with conviction and awareness of its value and recognition of this peer. All participants have something to give and something to receive in common work but to make it happen, there has to be understanding among the participants and they must be willing to participate.

I'm an etwinner myself but my current project isn't working very well since my students don't like the way the platform is organised (old one - my project was accepted before they moved to the new one) and the tool they like the most is not available (chatroom). Nevertheless, etwining is great for school-2-school projects.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not surprised that eTwinning is mentioned here since it is a platform suitable for school-to-school collaborative learning.

Me and my volunteer group of students have been in a project From our Windowsn since March. We have done a lot of work so far and now we would like our SS to do something collaborative to have teams of Czech/Pole/Turk - to make the SS contact each other and coopertate. And we are still thinking what to do to make it work. SS when asked expressed their wish to do a collaborative task.

Since we teachers are not much experienced or even beginners in the eTwinning it is a challenge for us to plan something like that to make it work. I am very thankful that I have met in the project foreign colleagues who are responsible and fine to work with!

I participated in some etwinning projects, some were more and others less successful. Once you set the topic and find a school you want to work with, I think the following things are important:

-motivation

-dedication

-communication

-collaboration

-support.

I'm now approaching to eTwinnig project. I think the success factor of this school-to-school collaboration projects is in giving schools the opportunity to learn from and with each other, promoting the awareness of amultilingual and multicultural school learning community.At least two primary schools from at least two different European countries can use itc to carry out some form of pedagogically relevant activity together. Can be an exchange between two individual teachers, two teams of teachers or pupils in an interaction for an extended period of time in order to share experiences and resources.

# data[].attributes.body
One of my duties as an eLearning teacher is to support teachers who take part in eTwinning. First and foremost, the teacher must be motivated to work collaboratively with another teacher. Moreover, I think that it's very important to find support if needed, especially if the teacher is a new eTwinner. Co-ordination is also of extreme importance for an effective project to take place.

In such projects, we mostly use Skype and hangouts. These two powerful tools give students and teachers the ability to connect with the outside world without leaving the classroom, allowing them to meet face-to-face with the subjects of their learning or with students from other cultures.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never worked in an e-twinning project, but now that I know it, I think it can be a great resource in order to work ICT in class. You have the chance of working with people from other countries and share new ideas and ways of thinking, which is very rewarding.

# data[].attributes.body
I am a etwinner but I never works in a etwinner project. I registered in etwinning in 2013 but I was warking in a Grundtvig lifelong learning program, www.foodprint.eu. It wasn't a school-to-school collaboration project, but it took me a lot of time because I was working in the webpage. So, I didn´t try to get a etwinning project. I have to think in the correct way to work in a school to school collaboration project without the internet in the classroom, I think that it took me a lot of work at home because the internet in the staff room is not good and I'm teaching adults who live in very particular conditions and I'll probably need a special permission to work in a project like this.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not a etwinner but i´m organizing a project for next year with two schools.
The main factor so far is the collaborative aspect (so far only with teachers) that the project requires.
We are sharing experiences, ideas and we hope this will also be the result with our students.

# data[].attributes.body
As an active etwinner myself, i'm currently running 4 different etwinning project that has international partners. I want to take attention to my previous project of 'IDIOMS are easy!' which aimed at building a visual mind map for students about the idioms they hear, use and the actual meaning they see behind that idiom. To decide the idioms that we would use, I used 'Popplet' to create brainstorming in my etwinning club's students. Then, students drew, colored different materials in real art-work. After that, I used 'Phoster (An AppStore App)' to create posters from those works, and it ended very well and the outcome was very unique, i think. I'm sharing one of our posters below:

I took a course of etwinning this year and I was fascinated with the projects that can be developed in schools. I think with the tablets and their potential these projects are much richer because of the communication capabilities they provide.

# data[].attributes.body
I've never experienced a school-to-school collaboration but I think that one of the most important factors of success is either the quality of the technical equipment or the co-share of the new learning experiences both with for students and teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not an etwinner, but I think that I will try it next year. I can only see positive results. Students learn how to cooperate not only with students from their own school, but with other students from another country which makes it more challenging. Apart from communicating using another language, they can also learn other ways of thinking which I find it really interesting and motivating for them.

# data[].attributes.body
I am an etwinner, but not an active one. This is something we sould like to develop in the future as a school. For a successful collaboration project, schools need to have effective communication and make sure that they coordinate what is happening in both schools and that designated people are dealing with communication.

Using fairly similar technology and applications is also key for a successful collaboration.

# data[].attributes.body
A success factor for an eTwinning project consists in achieving all believe that the proposed activities, diversified by working in teams with students and teachers from each country, cooperation, unity in diversity, how most successful communication in English, the project as creative products innovative and achieve goals.

I love eTwinning. I was etwinner since 2010. In my opinion is the best form to create a school-to-school collaboration because etwinning give us tools, the twinSpace very useful. I don t use tablets in school , but maybe in the future we will have the chance to have them for our learning goals. A good cooperation within the framework of a project between schools involves: -establish clear objectives -share results. - have feedback for peers.

And the most important factor in the success of a project is communication, all partners involved in the project should cooperate so that the ideas, concerns to be shared and resolved and each partner must comply with its obligations under the project.

I think that success factors can be: team working beetwen teachers and pupils, a large target group etc. I don t use tablets in school , but maybe in the future we will have the chance to have them for our learning goals.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t have any experience with etwinning.

Some success factors for a school-to-school collaboration project that I believe are important:

- Effective learning environments and tools. I believe it is necessary to use tools that promote communication for successful collaboration projects between schools. For example, a good tool for video conferencing and chatting is important, an online forum, collaborative shared documents. Those tools will help to build a sense of community and connection between the students of the two schools. Infrastructure is important since you need a good internet connection. Tablets in school-to-school collaboration projects can be an effective tool since they allow students to record their work and share it instantly.

-Teachers communication and preparation. I think that the teachers that take part in such project are the most important factor for the successfulness of the project. They need to communicate to prepare the lessons in a manner that is suitable for their students. They also need to set clear rules for their students. Good organisation and programming are essential in those projects.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it depends a lot of the amount of involvement of each partner.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never had this kind of experience, even though, I believe is really important both for teachers and for students.

Fist of all,It allows to improve the way of teaching, for example taking ideas from activities that are used in other schools.

Then, it is also useful because students get prepared to face a world that is becoming day by day more globalised.

# data[].attributes.body
As I am from Argentina I can’t join etwinning, but I have carried out other collaborative projects by means of Schools Online (British Council) and G+ communities.

This is the first time my students come to school with their own tablets, so we started a collaborative project which has been already described and which is still being developed.

But the previous years I worked on two collaborative projects about Identity and Belonging.

(http://ecclestonline.wikispaces.com/Project+1+-+Identity+and+Belonging) and Rights and Responsibilities

(http://ecclestonline.wikispaces.com/Project+2+-+Rights+and+Responsibilities)

At that moment we used the school netbooks but it would have been ideal to have my students using their own devices as the school ones were sometimes booked and we couldn’t use them freely.

From these experiences I can assure that students' enthusiasm and involvement is the most important aspect that makes a teacher want to go on planning school-to-school collaborative projects

Bringing the world into the classroom is an invitation to the amazing journey of sharing and connecting with teachers and students all around the world. One of the main goals is to think creatively and collaboratively so as to engage students in an active process of learning

I have never heard about eTwinning but I think it could be a good tool for motivating students and get in touch with students from another countries.

About those factors I think may be interesting in order to achieve a succeful performance I would mention the following:

- Set clear and achievable goals.

- Set time limits for each task

- Availaibility of devices and appropiate internet conections.

eTwinning provides many opportunities both students and teachers. Firstly it supports teachers to collaborate their collagues with another countries and they can exchange ideas and learn new approachs and implementations. Moreover etwinning can rise students self confidences when communicating foreign peers and sharing themselves own products. Using tablet facilitates all activities for them.

I heard about etwinning but had no lucky when enrolling in a project. I think the schools must be similar in students age and equipment. We do not have tablets yet all over our schools and even we dont have án accurate internet access and these are also both items to be considered.

# data[].attributes.body
I think success factor for a project like etwinning is a good implemented plan, motivated teachers and a very good IT infrastructure.

I am an etwinner and the tablets fit in perfectly and give us a better and faster way of communicating or even creating new activities for students.

I know from some other schools that they have used twinning projects very successfully.

We tried that as well but it didn't work out. Pupils were faster than we thought and put up their own social network as e.g. Facebook.

I think that the success factors of school to school collabotation are: sufficient communication among teachers first and pupils then, a very clear and simple project with specific goals and at last useful and funny outcomes.

I was involved three years into a nice eTwinning project - Optics in nature. All my students were excited to know about optical phenomena they could observe in nature. For the first year, collaboration was good enough to achieve project goals, but after the first exhibition communication between schools became weak and finally colapsed. I'm pretty sure that we could have tablets at that time, students could interact easily and fruitful. So this can be one success factor, but not necessarly the most important one.

In my oppinion, on the first place should stay a very good communication between teachers from partner countries. The second one should be permanent negociation on differents aspects during project implementation. The third one I consider to be the real involvment of teachers in making project work.

# data[].attributes.body
Our school has taken part of eTwinning. You can do things even with younger students, even though they mighn't have a common language.

Unfortunately, the excuse for not to participate in eTwinnig is very often the lack of time.

# data[].attributes.body
Although I´ve never been involved in an etwining project, several teachers in my school have participated in school-to-school collaboration projects.

In fact, I'm working now to join a project with other schools from Europe where ICT in general, and tablets in particular are involved.

In my opinion, the success factors for a school-to-school collaboration project might be the following:

- Students must feel they belong to a community, they need to know in the early stages of the projects, who are the students from the other school, who the school looks like and so on.

- Teachers needs to be in constant communication, so they can share the students progress, and most important, the difficulties they find in the process.

I´m from Argentina, so I can't join in eTwinning community. But i´ve experience in school-to-school collaboration project. Many years ago (approx 10) I subscribed in "epals project" (http://www.epals.com/#!/main) I also participated in the "Procomun community" (http://procomun.educalab.es/) created by EducaLab and in the "Connected Classrooms Workshop" community through Google+: With this community a group of english teachers from my school are working a lot. They thought in a project called "Bringing the world into the classrooms" where students from primary school speak with others students through Google Hangout. You can see some of this fabulous experiences: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0cMCMbxzyw and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5ev-vV8X9k

Last year I coordinated a project called "Realidad Aumentada" / "Reality modified" with "Las Cumbres” school. You can see the planning (http://www.slideshare.net/aleredin/realidad-modificada-34673232?ref=http://webconectada.tumblr.com/)  and the video with the end of the project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVAGinfEXIA&feature=youtu.be

From these experiences, I think that the most important thing to carry out a School-to-school collaboration project is the engagement of the group of teachers and to be motivated.

From these experiences, I think that the most important thing to carry out a School-to-school collaboration project is the engagement of the group of teachers and to be motivated. This generate enthusiasm between students. Other important point is to generate a common schedule to fulfill. Finally, to propose a joint production, because, sometimes there are not a good communication between students from different schools and only show that each school work alone

The engagement of the teachers and students shines through on these projects. It is logistically a challenging project and the technology can make or break this project. The enthusiasm and the final projects show that these teams have worked well with each other to create content and to make this experience successful.

The opportunities that these projects open up to students is endless. Great point from the instructor that this allows students to "travel" and meet other students and to experience other cultures.

The possibility that what these students' are doing right now - working in international teams using technology to communicate, create and deliver their ideas - will most likely be a reality of their future careers.

I think school-to -school collaboration could be an useful way to improve language applied in specific subjects. I imagine use of tablet to improve the introduction of CLIL in my school. Moreover, eTwinning project could emphasize the results of this goals.

I don’t have any
experience with the eTwinning project. I think it is a valuable idea as it
allows pupils to communicate and work with others from different countries and
cultures. It allows pupils to share ideas and learn from others whilst improving
their foreign language skills and learning from others work.

Using tablets
provides pupils with the opportunities to connect with other schools in a way
that previously would have been impossible. It is a great learning experience
for children however must be well structured and have rules in which all
children are clear.

I have never heard of eTwinnig before. I think this is a good idea. It is an opportunity for the students to know peers from different countries and this will increase their motivation of participating in the project and their implication in the task. This type of working means a big effort for teachers and for students so the whole task must be structured and the goals must be well defined from the beginning in order to develop the project in a successful way.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't have experience with eTwinning projects.

I think for children is a good resource to share experiences, ideas....

They can improve their foreign language skills, learn from other cultures and other places.

To conclude I think it's a good way to make the children more open mind.

I'd really like to work to an eTwinning project in the future because it gaves many opportunities to share ideas, compare yours with other projects and collaborate facing a great challenges such as different cultures and languages.

Besides I think that eTwinnings allows teachers and students to increase their ICT and linguistic skills. Students can learn to collaborate among them even if they live, study and belong to different countries and cultures. They can also have fun expressing their creativity.

However I think that an eTwinning project must base on clear rules, roles and challenges. And you also have the technological instruments to do that (computers, tablets and fast internet of course

I have etwinning experience with a project with a Spanish school. It was a success !

In several projects that we have exchanged with the partner schools, focus was on the elements about national traditions and, to do this, my students had to research and then learn about the cultural elements of own country. Also the need to create multimedia products to be exchanged with partners through social network or eTwinning platform, led them to acquire skills in the use of ICT. Usually there were different types of collaborative work in school-to-school exchange projects: after exchanging news about customs and traditions of the partner countries, the students of the two countries have worked together and write together a story using the Facebook, Twitter and Skype connections or creating other creative products (photos, videos, games etc.)

I've participated in many projects (school, state, international). Non of the project was focused in using ICT as a objective. ICT was always a tool to reach the other objectives. That includes tablets. In every project I have participated, tablets were used to facilitate the work. For example: when we worked in classroom and there were no computers, we worked on tablets. Specially outside of school are useful (for filming, taking pictures, taking notes, using GPS system, interviewing, searching for sort information...). My students used tablets for introduction: project group, school, city... On my opinion objectives should not been how and when to use tablets, using tablets should be the tool to reach the objectives.

I am on the platform twinning by a few years. My school is very active in e-twinning projects. Feedback has been always positive. I help my colleagues as ICT support. ETwinning offers an excellent platform to create or find partners all over the Europe and an easy way to develop collaborative projects, meaningful for students and schools. Success factors for good schools to school collaboration are the teacher's willingness to collaborate with other educators from abroad, technology and WI-FI that works... and enough good will!

I have not participate in any eTwinning projects yet but I am definetly going to. I am open for new things, I want to experience new methods of teaching. Using eTwinnig I am sure will help me with my professional development.

This is a good way to motivate me as a teacher. Students are not the only ones that needs to be motivated.

This year I have participated in eTwinning project for the first time. The project was directed to Polish schools only. Participating in this, I learned its phases. Using eTwinning platform I got to know many new online tools. My pupils have discovered that they could share information and skills with other children from different schools. Our project focused on Christmas traditions. I posted film below, on which my students play Polish carols. Next year I want to get involved in the European project eTwinning.

I never participated in eTwinning projects or other school-to-school collaboration projects.The factors for a successful school to school collaboration, in my opinion, will be: - Teachers' and students'willingness to collaborate with other educators from abroad - An interesting topic - Clear, simple goals - Collaboration in planning - Fast Internet - wifi connection. - Tablets and / or computers for at least every team. - Lots of great mood.

Well, I'm an etwinner for the last 5 years. I worked with several collegues from abroad since 2010 when I was involved in my first project. I think for a project to be succesful several factors to be taken under considaration. However the most important thing is, in my opinion, the will of two teachers to open their classroom in the world. The strong self - commitment to broaden their pupils' horizons. All the others, such as programming , organizing etc. are only secondary factors which support the main target and happilly there are lots of such teachers participating in etwinning.

Serbia has recently become a member etwinning community. I have no experience in projects school-to-school collaboration in etwinning.

I am member of eTwinning for a long time and eTwinning was a door to whole new world of education and collaboration for me. Success factors can be:
- take a little steps, small projects
- communicate, math or art are universal languages for start ;)
- share and be open to new ideas
- contribute
- you need just good will

3.3 We are not using etwinner or any type of virtual school to school collaboration however I feel that this type of activities would creat a great opportunity to challenge our students and compare themselves with same age students from other countries as well as for them to interact in a cultural way

I am on the platform etwinning by 10 years.I participated, with my students, in many projects. Some of them have also had national and European quality awards. So far I have never used tablets with the students and then in eTwinning projects. Projects etwinning they have however given an opportunity for my students to implement their own computer skills, but also to acquire new cultural knowledge related to the partner countries and to their country. In fact in several projects we have exchanged with the partners news about national traditions and, to do this, my students had to research and then learn about the cultural elements of own country that were losing. Also the need to create multimedia products to be exchanged with partners through ewinspace of eTwinning platform, led them to acquire skills in the use of ICT. There were different types of collaborative work in our etwinning project... In the project "a bridge between the mountains, a sea of ​​experiences" after exchanging news about customs and traditions of the partner countries (Spain-Italy), the students of the two countries have worked together and wrote togheter a story using the characters from the paintings of Botero; in the "virtual classroom, real chiedren" Cypriots, Italians and Poles pupils through Skype connections have pioneered the use of English in real situations, exchanging information about themselves, theown country, their habits;Twin @ code in the project, the students of two national schools (Italian) worked together on the creation of small games.

I hope to learn well, with this course, to use the tablets to propose the use of these instruments to my students and to allow them to acquire and implement the right IT skills to be very citizens of the 21st century

The following scenario is great if you had two classes in two different schools studying the same text, or the same historical set of events, for example.

Create small groups (of 4?) mixing students 2+2 from the two schools, and put each grouping into a Small Group in Edmodo.

Then set discussion tasks, whereby each of the students would be expected to comment at least twice in their own right, and more so in reply to others' postings. Then after several days, one pre-selected student is required to summarise the group's discussions and provide a reply to the teacher's task. Marks are then given to represent the individual efforts and the summary.

See the attached file below that was used by two teachers in the US, who presented at Edmodocon 2014

School collaboration is one of the best features of using tablets. In the Czech Republic the school collaboration will depend on technical equipment of scholls.

I have not been involved in an eTwinning project yet but would like to start. Time to start and finding a way to incorporate it into a busy syllabus will be the first two areas to look at. Success will depend on my role in developing the 7 phases with the students and providing them opportunities within lesson to work on the project.
