What can I say about this event! It was a wonderful experience and made me enjoy teaching History much more.I enjoyed reading teachers' approach towards the subject,their creativity and the interesting activities they suggest for making teaching enjoyable for both the students and the teachers.

As for Alena who was responsible for the event, I want to thank her very much for giving me the chance to participate in it and for all the help she offered during the proccess.I hope we will have the chance to attend another similar event in the future.

All the best from Greece with a photo from the Museum of Acropolis!

It was indeed a very interesting seminar. We exchanged ideas, thoughts, saw presentations of other colleagues from different countries, we have gained experience and I think we have helped on how to approach the subject of History. And...finally we know each other.

Alina, I would like to thank you for the idea you had for this tutorial, and also for the way it did. I wish you the best!!!

Dear Alena,

Congratulations on one of the most well-organised learning events I have ever attended. I like your ideas as well as your conscientious use of ICT tools. It inspired me to use them in the History classroom in a similar way.

Since I always like to be in touch with colleagues, I loved your idea of incorporating Facebook.

Thank you very much for sharing all these good ideas and suggestions with us.

All the best,
- Marco Schoeber, Germany.

It was a well planned and organised learning event and it gave me the opportunity to learn new applications and to see other collegues'work.The most useful part of any learning event is the exchange of ideas and techniques that happened in the classroom.I really like the practical part of this learning event.Thank you all for the superb ideas you have given to me.

This LE has matched my expectations. I could learn about how History is taught in other countries and got plenty of ideas on how to make my lessons more creative and interactive. I think this meaningful exchange of good practices will continue, thanks to the Facebook Group Alena created. Thanks a lot to Alena and to all my colleagues!

This seminar has fulfilled my expectations. I am glad that I participated and contributed to this seminar. Some ideas that I have seen during this seminar I will implement in the classroom. I read a lot of interesting comments that will help me in work with students. Thanks to all participants.

Really interesting learning event. I've enjoyed the videos, the blogs and the eTwinning projects used as examples. And, of course, one of the most interesting parts of any learning event is having the opportunity of sharing ideas and experiences with other colleagues.
As I'm a Music teacher, and not a History teacher, I hope to have introduced some "different" ideas to the group, sharing some of the activities related to Music History that I use on my lessons.
I hope to have more time to go back to the links and to keep sharing things with you all through Facebook and Twitter.
Thank you all for your enthusiasm and your work and special thanks to Alena, Great Work ;)

This was a really interesting LE and very well organised, too. So I'm glad that I could take part in it. In general, I'm impressed by the use of ICT tools and how you can employ them in a fruitful way in history lessons and projects. For me absolutely inspiring. Thank you very much!

Historia est magistra vitae... and history teachers are creative. Thank you to all the participants for the great ideas how to teach and how to work with different historical sources. All activities in this training were fun and stimulating. I asked myself questions about my work with students, thinking how my teaching history can be better.

Thank you for allowing us this training.
I wish you all: a creative, fun and stimulating teaching.

I would like to say that this LE was a very useful experience to me due to its diversity of methods, tools and ideas. I also have to point out that it was very carefully organised thus enabling the course of work. Looking forward to the videoconference with Scott Waring. Until then.. Greetings from Athens.

I have found very useful this learning event. I have received many ideas from the resources and the activities shared by my collagues, and I'm plannig of implementing some of them soon.

I'm a little confused about the use of Padlet for communcating, because I find it a little bit dispersive. Perhaps I would prefer a "traditional" forum, such as the one used in the last activity!

Thanks a lot to Alena and to all of the staff.

I hope of seeing you all again!

At first I would remember the yesterday night tragedy in Paris: all civilized thinking people is shocked by terrorism in the world.

I liked the events. Is was exiting to be in touch with all of you, comparing our methods and our ideas about teaching. Thank you, all of you and Alena at first! A very interesting week!

Regards.

Dear colleagues, this week I teach my students about the revolution of 1789, so of course I will start with statements about the 13 of November in Paris and connect it with the Enlightenment. Maybe I try to connect every lesson with contemporary incidents, but they always say that it is so boring, because they know that they have to know exactly what is in the book, there are much things and they must read them.. That is why I am here, I think they have to know and feel why these incidents are a blow or have I to say a punch against democracy. So thanks for all your ideas to make this subject,which is so importan4 for our future lives, interesting for my class and not only just another subject in school.

At first I deeply regret the tragedy that happened in France, it is common tragedy for all of us... It was very interesting and fruitful seminar for me; There was introduced very interesting resources, ideas; It was interesting to share the experience of my colleagues. It would be good if such activities are often held for historians. Thanks a lot all of you and Alena at first !!!

I liked the idea of creating a common book of ideas on google slides... I'm gonna download it!

You should have a whole page for the forum, not just a small part of a page: it will make things easier to read and find.

Thanks Alena, very interesting tools.

I've already introduced some of them in my job at school with students. They loved zeemaps very much for eample.

Very good to schedule the calendar of our "homework to do" and very handy to share the experiences on fb.

If i can suggest something is to start the workshop earlier in the two weeks of cours. The tools you offered us are so many and very useful. I wish I had more time to try them during you LE.
