Description

The importance of eTwinning in international projects has been increasing intensely within the last few years. The European National Agencies grant more points to your Erasmus KA1 application when you are planning to use eTwinning within the project or even better - starting from an already existing project. However, the eTwinning platform is manifold and not always self-explanatory. It exists as a standard indicative daily programme. However, the course can be personalised according to participants´ needs and professional profiles.

Learning objectives

In this course you will:

- find partners for your Erasmus KA1 or 2 project (also JOB SHADOWINGS)

- learn about professional development possibilities with eTwinning and the new European School Education Platform.

- learn how to use eTwinning for documentation, collaboration and communication between project partners

- learn how to work in the “Twinspace”, your own project-website within eTwinning

- creating new pages

- embedding content

- uploading material

- adding students, teachers

- and guests and many more features the twinspace provides

- learn about diverse web2.0 tools and how to use them to ensure collaboration of students

- be presented best practice examples

- learn about ways of recognition for eTwinning projects (Quality labels, competitions)

- start your first own project, write a project outline, set up your twinspace, have the project ready to kick-off when you get back to school.

By the end of the course, participants should have a proposal ready for an international project including the usage of eTwinning or will have a fixed outline on how to use eTwinning beneficially in the already existing project.

Methodology & assessment

The course is based on practical lessons and presentations of examples of good practice as well as discussions and experience comparisons. It will have short lectures to ensure full comprehension but most of the time we will be working actively learning-by-doing on the eTwinning platform and our own project twinspace. Every day participants will get short and fun assignments related to their needs and goals for the course. Moreover, they will become more and more accustomed to working in eTwinning, will become more fluent in creating pages, project outlines and will come up with their own ideas that can be directly used for their own individual projects at home.

Our experienced trainer will support and stimulate the networking and cooperation among participants. We organise workshops, networking and cultural activities in order to give participants the opportunity to exchange best-practices and establish professional cooperation and links. These activities will take part not only participants of the course but also other participants from different courses attended by the company. The expected training activity has been structured so that the participants can transfer know-how and develop needed skills to create and manage a proposal with real success.

Certification details

The course will provide the participants a 35-hour attendance certificate including the detailed information about the course, e.g. title, programme and schedule. In addition, a Europass Mobility Certificate can be added on request.
