EU children)

Dear LLT Friends,

I would like to share with you one my experience, what I hope, many of you lived in your "teacher-life".:-)

Last week I travelled to Germany, in one of our partner school, in Bremen. It was a beautiful week for me. Just immagine, I went there with two my colleagues and 3 pupils. And, we met many children and teachers from 10 other countries!! Together at about 50 people.

We wisited the school, the town, hamburg, had the possibility to have more information about German education system.

But, for me the most beautiful experience was to see how children make friendship, how play together and how can to communicate each other.

So, as I think, this is a very important aim of every EU project: involve students as possible, and help them. And, at the end see and enjoy how built together Europe).

For me it was a nice present at the end of school year.

I put here some photos about the last week.) Hope, you like them:-)

EU ministers agree on new education targets

Hello everybody! We've been talking a lot during these two school years about the Lisbon priorities and the 5 benchmarks for 2010.

And now we actually are in 2010 and the European Council is setting new benchmarks for the future.

So a 2020 strategy is being discussed. Have a look at the European Commission Website for more info: http://ec.europa.eu/education/news/news2284_en.htm

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".
