Friends across Europe by Mehtap Ogretmen https://padlet.com/mehtapkilic/lu38mx3vfyd6 Pupils from every school will prepare a short introduction of themselves (where, they live, favourite musician, sport, food, how they spend there free time…). They will also include some pictures in order to make it more atractive. Presentations will be uploaded to the eTwinning platform. A monthly plan of activities will be implemented – what they will share with each other. Pupils will decide what they would like to know from the other schools, pupils, countries…). We will share some photos, videos, make some conferences… The main idea would be to make some new friends, to get to know each other better (the other cultures, language, traditions, free time activities…). en-us 2017-02-04 20:05:49 UTC 2026-02-16 05:23:03 UTC hello@padlet.com Mehtap KILIÇ mehtapkilic https://padlet.com/mehtapkilic/lu38mx3vfyd6/wish/151624149 Hello.I'm writing from Kocaeli/Turkey.  I work with children from 5 to 11 years of age .I've been teaching Math, History, Music, Turkish and Physic for more than 20 years.

Teaching is fundamental to provide knowledge and instruction in order to help students to develop their personalities and competences, to foster social, physical and emotional growth and to instill values and life skills.
I try to implement a variety of techniques and strategies to involve and engage students with the learning process.
In our school we are  a group of enthusiastic teachers who work collaboratively to achieve common goals, sharing ideas and learning from each other.

My name is Silvia Chiricotto and I am from Montefiascone, Italy.
I am Paola’s friend and colleague and I teach English in a lower secondary school. My students are from 11 to 13 years old. I have a real passion for my job and I am always looking for new teaching methodologies to help my students to reach the goal they expect which is….. Success in learning foreign languages! I believe communication with people from different nations and of various cultures is the main focus of the teaching-learning process. I also strongly support the idea of cooperation among teachers from different countries to share the best practices for a personal and professional development!

I come from Bagnoregio, a little town in the centre of Italy and I teach in a Lower secondary school in Montefiascone, which is about 15 km far away.
I like my job I think that a teacher is a very important person for students because you can discover their secret skills and try to bring them out in order to let students believe in their abilities and use them for their future life. At the same time students are a continuous challenge for teachers because they reach a progressive development of knowledge according to our help and our ability to be sensitive and open minded.

My name is Javier Valle, although everyone calls me just Javi. I am the principal of an elementary school in a village that is very close to Madrid and Toledo, a nice town in the heart of Spain. In addition to my duties as a principal, I teach Spanish, mathematics and science to 3rd and 5th grade students.
I am really interested in learning about CLIL methodology, use of ICT in the classroom and innovative methodologies in general. I'm sure we'll learn a lot from each other.
This is a very good opportunity also to learn about other European cultures, aspect that also interests me a lot.

My name is Katerina Vlachou and I have been an english teacher for the past 22 years.After 18 years of teaching teeenagers (13-18 years old) I decided to switch from High schools to Primary schools (6-12).I teach all grades (1st-6th). I like teaching my classes more than just grammar and vocabulary and I believe foreign language teaching gives both teachers and pupils the opportunity to open a window to the whole world. European projects of collaboration can really help you do that. I am really happy we can all share ideas and experiences!!!!]]> 2017-05-08 13:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mehtapkilic/lu38mx3vfyd6/wish/170505679
