My name is Esra Akış. I've been teaching at Selimiye Primary School since 2007. My students are 9 years old. I believe in the power of collaborative learning. I like to improve myself. I have to learn to teach my students and children. For a beautiful world, children must learn.

We are very fortunate to take part in the project of my students and me, "I'm In Traffic, I'm On My Guard All The Time". In this project we have found all the meanings of eTwinning. We worked collaboratively with our partners. We solved every problem together. We supported each other not only for our project but for everything. We became friends, we became sister, we became twins.

My students learned by doing and experiencing in our project. They found the problem. They sought solutions to the problem. They chose the most suitable method. They came up with solutions. They implemented the solution they chose.

Thanks to our project, our students' cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills have improved. They analyzed and synthesized. During this period when they were at home during the pandemic process, they used their time efficiently. Our disadvantaged students had new experiences. They learned about Web 2 tools. We have integrated Web 2 tools into our other courses as well. Our lessons are more fun now.

I have taken many trainings both online and face-to-face before. I had the opportunity to apply almost all of what I learned to this project.

I am very honored and proud to be in this project. I feel like I've known all my friends for a long time. We learned together with our partners. We overcame the difficulties together. I have never despaired. Because I knew I had partners to support me. People learn best when they teach. They learn together. He learns when he is happy. I learned a lot in this project.

For all this and more, I would like to thank our project partner teachers and their students.  We are at the beginning of the road. I hope to our paths will always meet.
