This month, we are working in two different project in eTwinning. The eTwinning action is an initiative of the European Commission that aims to encourage European schools to collaborate using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by providing the necessary infrastructure (online tools, services, support). Therefore, teachers registered in the eTwinning action are enabled to form partnerships and develop collaborative, pedagogical school projects in any subject area with the sole requirements to employ ICT to develop their project and collaborate with teachers from other European countries (at least two teachers from two different European countries are needed). The primary workspace for the eTwinning action, is the eTwinning Portal (www.etwinning.net) and it is available in twenty-five languages. How I said we are working in two different projects, counting both there are schools from Lithuania, Slovakia, Italy, Turkey etc... In total we are 10 teachers and around of 120 students. But If you want to know in the first project we are working with a turkish school and in the other with a Lituanian, Slovakian, Italyan, Turkish, and Spanish schol.
We are going to be learning about the participating country's and them culture, we are chatin with the students, asking for information and answering with information.
We actually have just started so I can't tell more thing but I will wirte anothe post with more information. Because this project looks amazing and I have such a desire to work but we have a enormous problem that in the start we didn't notice, the hour, In all the country's is a different hour so is difficult chat in the same time. But this will not stop us from studying other cultures.
