Hello! I teach English as a Foreign Language in a Secondary School in Rome.

I've been teaching English for 15 years. I'm specialized in developing ICT in the classroom. I like learning new things, I think life-long learning is the aim of a good teacher. I like trying new methods to make my lessons interactive and I believe this digital period forces us to march in step with progress and I want to be at the very forefront. I'm an active eTwinner Teacher!

This is my secondary school in the north of Rome, it has 200 students and 28 teachers. The school has got some classes with Interactive White Boards and projectors and two labs: a computer lab and a video room. I have been training to use technology in the classroom and my students are enthusiastic.

I often use collaborative learning - task based activities so students can learn by doing. I started to flip some of my lessons following the Flipped Classroom approach. In this way, I'm re-organizing the learning time and trying to develop my students' digital skills, too.

We aim in this project to arouse the students' interest to English by the help of surprising activities. Every one of the partners will send an unknown activity to use in English classes in a surprise box to another partner twice a year. Children learn better when they are motivated and curious.

One day Anastasiya and her little brother, Fedir, were walking toward their village school. They lived miles from the school that stood near the Black Sea in the Ukraine, and the winters were long and difficult. But as the children walked, Fedir looked up at the bright blue sky and noticed a flock of golden birds winging their way home from the south."It's almost spring!" Fedir said with delight, for though he shivered at the chill in the air, he knew the birds' migration north meant warm weather would soon return.When school was finished for the day, the two children began their long walk home. The children quickened their pace, but suddenly they heard a peculiar sound coming from behind a linden tree. Fedir looked alarmed. "It sounds like someone's crying," he said, and they ran to look.There on the ground, shivering and damp, lay the grounded flock of golden birds. The children quickly understood the freezing winds had wounded the poor creatures. "We have to save them," Fedir said desperately, and he knelt beside one of the smallest birds and saw that it was nearly frozen to death.

Quick, let's take them somewhere warm," Anastasiya urged, and she picked up one of the birds and wrapped it inside her coat. But of course she could not rescue every one. "Go, Fedir, run and tell our teacher that she must bring people to help."

Fedir ran as fast as the wind back to the village, and he hurried to explain to his teacher what had happened. She told the priest, and he told the villagers who were praying in his church, and soon a few dozen people were following Fedir back to the spot where the injured birds lay.

One by one they picked up the birds and wrapped them inside their coats and their scarves, inside their hats and gloves. They were gentle, careful not to bruise their fragile wings. They were silent as they worked, careful not to frighten the birds.

This was not unusual. The people of the village were kind. They loved their fellow creatures, and it broke their hearts to see the fear in the birds' eyes.

"Let us take them to the church," the priest said. "There we shall decide how to help them."

Before long, every villager heard the story of the birds, and they hastened to the church, offering help. The priest opened the vestry and there they made a sanctuary for the birds. Warmed by the fire the villagers tended, and fed by the generosity of the village children, the birds gradually recovered.

We really appreciated the activities we have done during the project. My students had the chance to work collaboratively and use their imagination and creativity to do the Surprising boxes gadgets and games to send their partner students. They felt involved drawing the logo and the poster and they liked the voting activity on Mentimeter. They started using ICT for educational purpose for their introduction on Padlet and in the creation of games by using Learning Apps.

We made photo collages and videos  in class. They logged in the TwinSpace to read and see other schools activities, photos and videos. There was a lot to do, share and learn! Thank you to all the partners.

We had really great fun!
