I am a Physical Education teacher and the biggest problem I find in my daily work with children is the health problems related to overweight they have. Seeking on the web I found this interesting project in which pupils from two countries (Spain and Poland) put into practice a lot of resources, skills and activities in order to improve their health.

I’ve been teaching during more than 14 years in different areas and levels, always related with the science and technology. During the last years, I’ve specialised in teaching the bases of programming to vocational students. I would like to introduce more elements of innovation in the classroom in order to improve the student skills at the end of the course.

What can I improve?
Get the way to help students with difficulties due to their low abstract skills and motivate them to continue learning and believe in their possibilities.

I’m not happy with …
The loss of the motivation of some students when realizing that are not able to learn at the same pace of the others.

I would like to try …
Manage students with different skills and levels and get everybody to learn.

Is there anything that is not working?
The best students don’t improve due to the low level of the rest of the class.

I am Marta María, English teacher. During this course I work with students of three years in a bilingual center. I have been teaching for many years and every day I realize that there are many things that I still do not know. With children so small my problem is that I think I demand too much and I have to learn to have more patience and give them more time. On the other hand, every day I am more surprised.

I`m an English teacher in a small school in a small town. In my opinion I can improve my pupils motivation for the foreign languages learning. eTwinning may be the way to get it.

This may be a way to improve their motivation

For the past 4 school years I've been using PBL with my students at school. I think I've been quite thorough in following the theoretical principles and I've even attended teacher training courses and seminars to learn to apply this "new" methodology. However, and even if the kids do enjoy learning in a different way, I think it is only the actual process that benefits the students' learning. When they take the self-reflection questionnaire at the end of their projects, I usually find out that they didn't really learn a lot. One of the reasons I'm interested in eTwinning is that my students may improve their collaboration skills and get to some sound concept-learning. I'm open to suggestions

I am a teacher at a high- school, I teach P.E., from my point of view this subject is one of the easiest to practice new methodologies. I would like to keep in contact with other teacher to share our practice. Etwinning is a wonderful tool to achieve my goal in teaching practice. In P.E. new methodology could be integrated easily while students enjoy.

What I would like to improve:
- The management in the open air.

- The use of ICT in P.E.

- Show the students the benefits of P.E. in a healthy way of life.

What I would change to get it:
- Learn methods to manage big groups.

The most important goal for me is to motivate them in learning every day.

I am a teacher at a highschool, I am teaching around 27 years and I noticed that students need to experiment with new tools and new things to take their attention.
Before I teache them this new things, first I have to learn it so I learn with the finality of teach them something new. So I can conclude that I teach to learn, because always I can learn something new about them.
Etwinning It´s an advantage because with eTwinning I can make more interesting my classes for my students.

I'm a teacher of English at a secondary school, teaching now for more than 15 years.
What I think I have to improve or I'd say to change  is the methodology used in my classes. We usually follow the text book but most of the time is quite boring.
I like using PBL but I've never used it for a long term project, only for shorter ones.  The students only realize of the power of English when they have to use it in a real context as a penpal exchange.  Therefore I'd like to work cooperatively with teachers around Europe in a kind of cultural project, in which my students could put together all the contents of the different skills in order to motivate them and open their minds to new ways of thinking and living.
I'm very interested in using ICT tools, gamification and flipped classroom to improve my teaching practice.

I started to work in the Public School in Spain last year with my 6th grade students. I tried to use E-twinning but it wasn't possible due to the lack of information that I had of that and the lack of cooperation among teachers.

Hello  all. I am very happybeing here and discussing aboout all that interesting issues. I think that eTwinning makes me improve my teaching day by the day. Thanks to our projects , students have the motive to try, to use new thinga, to make new friends, to lean in a different and funny way.
Sometimes I get a little bit nervous, because students don't realize that the project is a different kind of "course", they think, most of the times that it 's only a game. I understand because they need time to accept something new and revolutionary, in a field like education, wihch stays the same or develops so slowly!

I teach in the 1st grade (6-7 year-old children). Among the things I would like to improve, there are a few examples:
- Dedicate quality time to work on emotions. Sometimes I feel the pressure on academic activities, following what's already on the schedule and the pressure of having books to complete are a great enemy preventing us from actually look at the kids' faces learn more about how they feel, and help them manage those feelings.

- Evaluation. I absolutely hate all those paper forms, rubrics and so on, so full of indicators to consider and grade... It's such a messy, time-consuming task!! There must be some simpler ways to evaluate our work and children's progress! I want to include self-evaluation and co-evaluation more often, too.

- On the same topic, evaluation, I would like to be more creative, find what's in me to create activities that focus on competences, not just contents (and again, how do I grade these tasks?).

- Gamification and ICT. Sometimes I've used a certain tool to evaluate, but I don't use ICT tools that often. I would like to incorporate them to my usual practice, be more regular on their use. Sometimes I also feel children won't understand how to use this or that tool, or they might have some 'accident' with the school's tablets.

This school year is my first course in which I teach ICT content in English for health purposes.
I accepted the challenge because I love English and ICT tools and the communication with teachers and students from all over the world collaborating in health activities. We focus on health content with amazing learning products using ICT tools of web 2.0.
I need to improve my way of teaching content in English so I always work under the supervision and suported by an English teacher. We are lucky to have a PC for each students and that is the reason why we have founded an eTwinning project as part of the learning  objectives.
I also need to encourage my students to speak in English as much as possible. If I can, They can do it as well.

There are so many things to learn, too aspects to improve...  I think I have to work in organization and classroom management. Also I would like to work with peers brave enough to get rid of worksheets . There is a strong belief that says if students don't  carry a big amount of worksheets to their homes at the end of the school year they haven't learned anything at all.
I would like to learn more about PBL, cooperative learning  and Reggio Emilia approach.
It's a big challenge for me to incorporate technology in my classes because computers are not available and ready to work with, and  the high number students in our rooms.

I am an English teacher in a town near Bilbao. I have been teaching English at Primary level for 7 years.

What can I improve?

I need to improve the way I carry out the classes. I need to motivate students more, engage them and make them love the English language as much as I do.

What would I like to try?

I would like to try different innovative methodologies, such as Flipped classroom or PBL. I would also love to be a very active member of the eTwinning platform, and I think that this MOOC is going to help a lot in that aspect.

What am I not happy with?

The students are not motivated. I try different things, and they like English, but it is always the same, books, notebooks… That is why I said before that I really see a necessity of changing the point of view regarding methodology.

Is there anything that is not working?

Governments’ support doesn’t help a lot. I like the idea of including ICT tools in the classroom; I think that they are very motivating for students. In the last cycle of Primary level, they have one laptop per child, which is fine to work on projects, find information on the Internet... But then, in the rest of the classes for example, with one computer per classroom is quite impossible to carry out successful projects.

"Analysing my teaching"

I think teachers have similar goals. The main goal is to allow our students to enjoy their classes and, of course, I also want to enjoy.

I think I need to improve my knowledge of new tools and to have more practice. I would like my students to dance, play, touch, do outdoor activities. I would like to create a group in order to working in a collaborative group through projects (Problem Based Learning) and using games (Game Based Learning).

This is my dream. Now I have to wake up. I must learn all about these methods and I make my dream true

Adrián Sánchez Pulido (Segovia, Spain) - The butterfly effect. 

# data[].attributes.body
They say we are what we do and not what we say we will do. I have always been amazed by the butterfly effect, not only in life but in education. It is said  that a single occurence, no matter how small, can change the course of the universe forever. We, as teachers, have a tremendous power to change the world. The minds, lifes, feelings and brains of our students depend, partially, on what we say and do. This is the basis for my teaching and everytime I think about what can I do better or how can I improve as a teacher, I repeat this to myself:  lets change the course os the universe for good. We have huge access to different tools, methods, routines, roles, techniques.. So it is only a matter of time we put on our own profesional development in order to get better as professionals. But, what about the butterflies? How can we be a role model for so many different butterflies? We have to focus on values like respect, tolerance, diversity and love, and the only way to let them know the importance of being a good butterfly in life is to be the butterfly the need to look up to.
It takes the whole village to raise a butterfly-child, so let's do our part!

To my mind, there are too many things I would like to improve about my teaching practice. I find it quite hard to make my students participate in a more active way in the teaching and learning process. What I mean is that I would like to be able to make them participate more in the teaching part, including more collaborative and self-learning activities. On the other hand, the students’ usage of ITC resources in the class is a real challenge for me.

For this reason, I would like to try doing more team work and collaborative work among the students. I would like to learn how to organize the students in groups that could work together in collaboration, building their own learning. I’ve already done some courses about this matter, but it always seems to me that with older students it’s easier. Definitely I would like to learn some technics that would allowed me to bring this collaborative experience with my younger students. In addition, it would be great if this team-work could be developed from a more ITC-like approach that involved digital resources.

Unfortunately, the lack of computers and other technical problems plus the high number of students per group make these ideas a little bit of a utopia. Therefore, I’d say that I am not very happy with the means I have in the school, but I cannot – and shouldn’t- completely blame these material problems for not improving my teaching practice.

Creating material for teaching and assessing has been a challenge for me this year. I totally agree with Diego Puron (Xixon) about the need to get rid of texbooks because they do not suit students' needs. I need to know a lot more about ICT tools (digital pedagogy).

Hi there,
I teach Technology and ICT in secondary school and bachelor and I'm learning PBL with my students, but usually alone. I would like to improve my knowledge and practice of this methodology , and if possible with other students around Europe. I expect I'll learn how to develop an interesting  etwinning project with other MOOCmates.

# data[].attributes.body
When I analyze my teaching practise, I always come to the conclusion that good practice begins by trying to improve everyday. Society makes a lot of advance in technologies and others areas so I feel the necessity to improve more and more to be up to date to fulfill my students needs. I'm a primary teacher and I always propose to myself to put into practise different methodologies until I get my students feel comfortable and motivated to achieve a significant learning.
To avoid feeling frustated, after working hard and not getting the expected results, I try to be updated on the latest professional development, get inspired on other partners' work, share ideas, find support on other partners,   collaborate in eTwinning projects that help me integrate all the Key Competences in a collaborative, motivating and interactive way... That is why I find contributions of participants important because they could be useful for our teaching practise.

So, we must share our jobs, search other partners' teaching practise and their jobs in which to get inspired. We must investigate, learn, innovate, put into practise different methodologies and compare results... just to find the best way to fulfil our students' needs.

ETwinning is a great example of good practise where we can find inspiration to improve.

What I would like to improve or to try?

Maybe I would like to improve  the motivation of my students, the use of ICT in the classroom, gamification, the use of different spaces in the classroom, the future classroom...

When I analyze my teaching, I think I have a lot of resources, time and different subjects to teach.

I'm an English teacher at a secondary school and If you ask me to analyse my teaching, I will tell you that I would like to do things differently in the classroom. As I see it, there are a lot of things to improve, so a change in methodology is a good starting point. The growing use of technologies is needed, which will lead to an increasing motivation in our students, being essential in the use of the English language. We need to know their interests and they need to have fun and enjoy while learning a foreign language. I need to enrich my students' engagement making them the main protagonists in their own learning process. The improvement and learning of new techniques regarding technology would help my students to work with interesting projects, encouraging collaborative and cooperative working and also an active methodology.

I have been teaching English at a secondary school for more than 10 years, this job makes me very happy but I always have the feeling that I can do more for my students. Among my priorities is to experiment with new methodologias, PBL in a meaningful and effective way. Another think that I want to improve is to learn better Etwinning platform, as I see it as a source of possibilites, I have already collaborated on one project but the results are not very satisfactory. In short , my main goal is to motivate the students and engage them in their own learning.

I teach English  in a public secondary school, I've been teaching since 2005. I've been growing as a teacher and a learner since that time. Today, what I want to improve in my teaching is to provide learning for mixed abilities class and to differentiate my lessons activities.

Another thing that I want to improve is getting feedback from students, I used to do that at the begenning of my career, and for a reason or another I stopped doing it. So, I think Ineed to be brave to ask for my students feedback after a lesson, as it helps me reflect on my own teaching pratices from another perspective, the students perspective. I'll think about a convenient way to do it!
What I want to try is, and I've been delaying that as I'm not familiar with it, working with other classes (teachers and students ) from other countries in a collaborative project.

I want to improve the enthusiasm of my students in the classrom. I feel sure that this is the key point. As humans the motivation is the engine that make students receptive  for learning.
From this point of view, I believe etwinning can be a good tool to boost the interest of the studenst because of working in groups, with foreign students, with innovative and creative tools and especially with a meaningful aim.

Hi there,
I teach in a vocational school in the field of hvac (heating, ventilation and air conditioning). I think the needs of vocational students are different from primary & secondary pupils. I would like to improve my teaching with more practical activites to engage the students (I think I use more theory than practice) but with little economy cost (we always have the problem of money in vocational school).  I think eTwinning is a way to engage the students. I'm not happy with the different levels and different time of homework the students dedicated in my subjects

As I am not currently teaching, but collaborating with Spanish teachers in Turkey from the Education Office at our Embassy in Ankara, let's imagine what one of those teachers could write for this activity:
1.- What can I improve? I would like to make language learning much more relevant to them.
2.- What am I not happy with? We always deal with simulated activities; there are no venues for real communication interaction.
3.- What would I like to try? I would like to try peer learning activities with my students.
4.- Is there anything which is not working? The speaking practice assignments we currently carry out during lessons do not prove exciting or meaningful for my students.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to improve :
1. Active learning exercises ( analytical, critical and creative thinking )
2. Opportunities for  student engagement .
3. Be able to organize a good class timeline.

Hi, I am getting ready to be a teacher. I have done teaching practices in differet centers, students of 10 years up to university students.  In Ecuador it is not very well known the eTwinning or something similar, but I would like to innovate and I have some crazy ideas.  I have noticed that both children and young people like to watch videos and that is how I give a preamble of what is coming.  What would I want to improve in the classroom? Have more tools to capture the students“ interest, learn new techniques to help me and help them to create a cooperative enviroment.  I like to teach them the graphic tools, which combined with the subjects; they learn to make videos or animations applying what has been learned.

Hi there! I teach English to Kindergarten children and I am always worried that the may get bored as I propose many large group activities (it is the only way I can check they receive English input).

I am eager to improve the control management of my classroom. I would like to try a truly successful technique where students are really main actors of their learning not only in theory which it is very nice to be told but it is not true in a real classroom environment, where unfortunately not 100% students are involved into learning.

Regarding to my teaching I am not happy with the extra amount of things teachers are asked for doing, between them to behave like a clown for my children to have fun,  apart from teaching about a specific subject. In the same way for extrinsic motivation for my students, I am not happy with this system which does not reward too much those who effort, mediocrity is law and in which students with failed subjects pass from one course to the next one no matter how. But this is a topic too long to talk about and nothing to do with this MOOC.

Hi everyone! There are so many things I'd like to improve... Well, let's start from the beginning. I'd like to make up my mind over what methodologies to use in my classroom. Nowadays, there's  a lot of talk going on over leaving textbooks behind and embracing PBL and ICT as the only solution to get students learning and making progress. My dream classroom would be integrating all those new approaches to teaching English and using all these powerful tools (chromebooks, digital devices,...) in a meaningful and engaging way.  Therefore, the first thing I need to know is how all this works to make the most of it. I'd also like to open my classroom and introduce my Ss to the real world and this is mainly the reason why I am giving this MOOC a go. I want my Ss to discover that English equals real communication and that it is a must if they want to thrive in the future as individuals. I need to learn how to manage all this and handle big groups at the same time since here in Spain we have about thirty Ss per class, which is a real challenge.
Well, I'm very happy to be part of this and I hope to make get to know you better and make connections to start new teaching adventures with my students.

I teach English in a secondary school . I know that it is very important to know the grammar to speak a good English, but too much grammar makes the class boring. I would like to find the right way to mix fun activities with grammar.
I also would like to find the way to hook my students in some English activities that they could continue  doing after the school, like tv series or other things.

HIi!!I am a primary english teacher that teaches in a bilingual school. There is no doubt that I need to improve all my teaching skills. I firmly belive that teaching is about sharing. It is precisely nowadays when education is open widely and open our methods and approach worldwide in order to be more efficient in our learning-teaching process. ICT is the essence in our daily routines, however there is still a big room for improment regarding to material resources and trainning for teachers interested in use them in class. I am keen on new methods such etwinning and make students feeling engaged and active participant in their own learning process.

Hello! I'm an English Teacher. I love teaching and learning things from my students. I would like to try an eTwinning project inside my lessons. I always make my students have fun in my lessons with vocabulary or grammar games and I like projects. The problem it’s that I have always attempted to do projects with other subjects (sometimes with other teachers from my school), but I would like to share my ideas with other schools and connect each other by ICT. I would also like to improve in gamification and assessment.

I think eTwinning can help me improve my teaching skills and also experimenting new things. It assumes collaboration and we can learn from each other or discover solutions to the problems we have in the teaching-learning process. We can talk to teacher from different countries, learn about their education systems and use some new methods or approaches in our activity. My students will develop the skills aimed in the projects and will also learn about other countries, will meet students from there and socialize to them.

I teach secondary and high grade students and my subjects are English and Russian as second   languages. I always use ICT at my lessons as my school implements "One student+one notebook" program, where all students and teachers come to school with their own devices (notebooks, netbooks, tablets). And the most important thing at my lessons is to find any interesting way of using these personal tools in the classroom. The school wi-fi is very fast and it let me use different online lessons from different web-sites. For example if I need to explain some grammar I use the following web-sites: http://www.tolearnenglish.com/, http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/. I also involve my eTwinning projects in my curricula and very often we do different activities suggested by eTwinning projects at the lessons. Using computers and internet at the lessons let us organize Skype meetings and videoconferences with other etwinners. But of course, it is very hard work always to keep in time and make students to be interested in the lessons. Of course I always have to search and look for interesting activities, lessons, web-sites and even games.

Analyzing my teaching practice as an English teacher I come across lots of things that I am really improving.
Since I am a Teacher librarian I just have one class - a vocational course (3 hours a week) with the most unmotivated and disrespectful students who have an educational path of repeated failures and for whom learning a foreign language is uninteresting.

How to catch these students attention? How to involve them in significant learning activities?

Introducing step by step new methodologies and new approaches to learn meaningful aspects of the English language by using ICT tools is being productive as students learn that they are not just learning English as a language but other important issues that they can apply in other situations and subjects.

Besides learning how to tackle with different ICT tools (padlet, canva, storyboardthat, flipsnack, wordle, google drive…) I try to create or participate in activities that are not confined to the class or school.

For example, this year we participated on the World values day and the feedback given by the world’s organization made them feel important and recognized.

As a teacher librarian I coordinate as a partner an Erasmus+ project and in the course of this we created several eTwinning projects that are still in course.

I am proud that the eTwinning project created in the course of the Erasmus+ meeting we had in our Portuguese school in March 2016 had won quality label in  3 of the participating countries and the European quality label, too.

I have been teaching for 25 years and the changing in approaching innovation in school started  in 2013 when I took the role as Teacher librarian after taking a post-graduation in school library management. The different literacies: reading, media, information that we have to “teach” made me get me more interested in this world of innovative ways of teaching.

But my interests are not only linked to new technologies. I have a passion for the Art of storytelling and my approach to the youngest is being also done using this “natural tool”

What I’m not happy with? Well …I’m not happy with my colleagues way of looking at new approaches, new strategies. I’m not happy by listening them at the teacher’s room complaining all the time about students’ behaviour and bad marks. I’m not happy for not having school administration support to teachers’ projects.

Hi!
I am an English teacher at a Secondary school.
What can I improve?
A lot of things, but time management and assessment are priorities in my projects.
I would also like to make the most of the roles in cooperative teams, help everyone to shine. I wish to motivate my students better so that they love the language as much as I do.
Besides, I must integrate ICT better. I know and use several tools, but they must become central learning points, not just complements.
What would I like to try?
I'd like to flip my lessons, to try Genius hour and of course, start an Etwinning project.

I´m an  Infant and Primary English teacher. I´ve always been looking for effective and fun activities for learning vocabulary and structures in English. I´ve been using  lots of vocabulary games that help children understand and say  the words correctly. But what about reading and writing? Is there anything else better that  just  LOOK, COVER, WRITE AND CHECK? Yeees,there is. I´ve discovered PHONICS! Can you imagine that the children can learn how to break the English code and read a word sound by sound without memorizing it? And in a fun multisensorial way through stories, songs and movement? This is Phonics. It is the clue for improving the reading and writing skills in English in early stages and of course leads to better reading comprehension and independent writing later on. I am very enthusiastic about Phonics and I would like to share experiences about this topic with other infant and primary teachers of ESL.

What I'd really like to try in my classroom is cooperative working because I think this kind of methodological innovations could be really useful for our students.

I am a kindergarten teacher and I have been active in eTwinning for some time now. I like how I can chose new ideas for projects and apply them with my children. It is difficult to manage more than one project at a time with such small learners, but we can try many shorter ones. You need to be very creative to integrate the project's activities into the preschool curriculum, but children like participating in these projects and they become very motivated

Hi! I’m a secondary education teacher. I teach Visual and Audiovisual Arts, and Math.

I really want to improve the schedule of my class and try new pedagogical innovations more effectively. I’ve been testing a PBL project with one group of students, but I´m not very confident about the results.

I would like to try new methods such as flipped classroom (especially for my Math lessons), cooperative working, gamification or better PBL projects. I think it’s difficult to engage the students with this kind of innovations by my own. One thing I find difficult to get an effective coordination with my colleagues.

I am a Kindergarten Teacher. In this age the kids need to move every 20 minutes, move or change the activity, their attention capacity is limited, some concepts, contents, activities
require more time and I can see them boring. That is why sometimes I am not happy, because neither my student  are. The solution is very simple, to find 3 or more activities about the same aim/ content and change every 20 minutes. This worked, and now teaching/learning is more fun and the students are more interested, active...
