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.

One of the last cooperative activities we did for an eTwinning project was to create acrostics with family members' names by working in collaboration, then we wrote acrostics on shared google slides. My students enjoyed working together, helping each other (because writing acrostics in English is really hard work for 11-12 year-old Italian students!) and the using a collaborative tool without making a disaster... it was a great activity.
Here is the link to our acrostics/poems:

2) Curricular integration;
3) Communication and Interaction among partner schools;
4) Collaboration among partner schools;
5) Use of technology;
6) Results, impact and documentation.

I think the 6 criteria are important to create an excellent eTwinning Project, only following these criteria you could be sure you are doing a good job for your teaching, for the partners, for your students, for learning. I won two National quality labels and one European Label. They were given to our projects because we followed all the criteria and I was really proud of what we did.]]> 2018-11-30 12:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/emilianarufo/PBLeTwinning2018/wish/309726824 Creating a project plan... emilianarufo https://padlet.com/emilianarufo/PBLeTwinning2018/wish/309728022 2018-11-30 12:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/emilianarufo/PBLeTwinning2018/wish/309728022 Module 4: Collaboration in eTwinning emilianarufo https://padlet.com/emilianarufo/PBLeTwinning2018/wish/309736638
