Twinspace activities concerning the Erasmus+ project: “Read and write togethertotravel through the 21st century”

The Twinspace is a very important tool for our project. It is our common workspace. Indeed, it allows us to collaborate among teachers (schedule of activities, instructions to give to students, tools to use ...). All productions and results of the project are published there. It is also our main tool for disseminating, especially to parentsbut also on the Erasmus website.

During the first icebreaking activity, our students presented photos and drawings symbolizing our country, and then these images were transformed into a digital puzzle. Then, it was from these puzzles that the students were able to discover the countries with which they were going to work. Several other icebreaker activities allowed them to present their city (in the form of a story), our school (Lipdub video), some cultural objects (cultural box) and to test the knowledge of their partners about their country (quiz). After exchanging traditional stories, the students played them (videos) and then collaborated on the writing of a multi-handed story.

Finally, we carried out the most important activity of our project: writing a story with several hands. This activity allows you to experience all the stages of writing a story: searching for ideas, selecting and organizing ideas, writing, revision (coherence, clarity, link between sentences...), choice of a title and illustration. Students write in their native language and teachers are responsible for translation. The French wrote the first chapter, then the Estonians illustrated it, then the Spanish wrote the second chapter illustrated by the Greeks and so on.Finally, an e-book was created using calameo.

In addition, many applications were usedby our students duringthis project:  kahoot for the cultural quiz, the daily jigsawpuzzle, dotstorming (vote for the logo), survey monkey,  answergarden and  padlet for the evaluation of the project...

The technology has also been used to highlight the students' work: video editing software,  powerPoint  and  calaméo for the production of e-books... The students were able to communicate with the partner's via skype.

A page on the Twinspace lists all the digital tools used for the project.

In addition, our students had access to the Twinspace from their home, so they were able to share the project with their parents,so they were able to carry out the quiz (assessment of their knowledge about partner countries). They also sang with their partners during the video conference held to mark the end of the year celebrations.

For the holiday season, we sent greeting cards and shared songs during a video conference and a video.

Twinspace activities concerning the Erasmus+ project: “On the edge”

Twinspace is a vehicle for our project development. Our teachersare given the opportunity to share ideas, to be exposed to different teaching methodologies, education systems and classroom cultures. This exposure develops the integration of the European dimension in teaching and provides teachers with another perspective.

Our teachers and students use Twinspace as a vehicle for their development. So we incorporated activities organized on Twinspace which allows us tocooperate closely, plan and carry out project work together and share its results.

Therefore,through Twinspace:

·         Teachers collaborate exchanging ideas on good teaching practices

·         We create ebooks concerning different subjects such as Biology, Science and Maths, Arts and Music

·         We create eventsand upload videos and photos concerning the dissemination of our mobilities

·         Our students upload photos in the padlet “7 challenge” (a summer activity)

·         We create flipgrids for our pupils to communicate with other students

·         We take feedback from our students and teachers who answer questionnaires on arrival and at the end of the mobilities

·         We organize voting for the music we prefer

·         For the holiday season we uploaded photos, videos, events organized in each country
