Jonathan Swift in Etwinning

With one of my classes, we're trying to integrate Etwinning into the literature syllabus. Since these days we're studying the rise of the novel in the XVIII c. England, we've decided to make some videos to be uploaded into our project about movies (Robin hood in Bollywood is the name of the project). Thus, kids have shot short videos in which they imagine to interview Swift on the theme of satire, read passages from Gulliver's Travels and A Modest Proposal and comment on them. After shooting, we moved to the lab to upload their footage. Big fun and participation!

One (Etwinning) thing leads to another

As a new member of this blog, I'd like to add to my first blog entry a picture which shows how an Etwinning project can lead to a school exchange and to the celebration of the 2010 European Springday. "Only connect".

What is a Quality Label worth?

Does everyone that apply get one? Is it something to handle in to one's head master? Something to mention in a CV? Or just an encouragement for us eTwinners?
How do you use them?
I've so far put mine on the eTwinning notice-board, with the rest of our project documents and pictures, so that teachers, parents and students can see them - as a quality mark of the project.

..and watched our friends celebrating in Europe

Singing for the eTwinning

Pupils from 3rd-5th grade in Fredrika Skola, Sweden, sang a traditional Swedish birthday-song for the etwinning. It was a part of the project "Hello Europe".

Ja må han leva,

Ja må han leva i hundrade år...
(Yes, may he live for hundreds of years.....)

5 years eTwinning in Greece!

Here we would like to share with you two videos we made for the celebrations of 5 years in our school!

Our project's song for the 5 years of eTwinning!

We chose the same music and write the words in our languages for the five years of eTwinning! Greece-Romania-Poland-Hungary-UK-Italy-Wales! Hope you enjoy it!!!
