A moto for the new course

old quarter street in Corfu

Marika's new post with the videos of Cavafi's poem have brought to my mind a souvenir of my summer holidays. I visited in Corfu the house of Dionysos Solomos, another great Greek poet , which has been made a museum. In the exhibition I came across a line of his works which touched me . It was this:

Συχνά τά στήθη εκούρασα,
ποτέ την καλοσύνη
My chest often got tired,
never my kindness

I pass it to you because I think it is a nice line to spread in European classrooms and as a kind of present for you all in these busy days of the beginning of the school year.

Her is a video we made in our group 21 (Tatjana, Daniela, Maria, Seval, Dim  and me) for the eTwinning Learning Event Exploiting Web 2.0 - eTwinning and Collaboration;

Long live the LLT!

I'm sad to hear that the LLT-project - the Twin Space - will close. But everything must come to an end!
BUT - really glad to know that the blog will live on! I'm absolutely interested in staying in LLT further on! I'm happy and proud of beeing a member of this European network of teachers!

I'm now working with a project called "Small Schools in Europe" trying to tie bonds of friendship between teachers and students at small rural schools - we have so much in common and yet so much to learn about each other. I hope it will lead to a Comenius project, but so far we run it as an eTwinning.
I wish you all a happy and fruitful school year!
Big hugs to you all from a beautifully autumn coloured Fredrika!
yours

Disseminate the spirit of LLT !

This Counterfeit tag is exaggerated, of course, but it’s clear that eTw groups are inspired by LLT community.
This is a great success for the LLT laboratory. The official trade-mark is now eTw group, and we all know where it comes from!

I first registered in Math-Science group, then Science sub-group. My observation is that the life and the success of a group or sub-group is based on the leaders not on the subject or its aims.
You can make the comparative test here :
Maths : http://groups.etwinning.net/c/portal/layout?p_l_id=14782
Sciences : http://groups.etwinning.net/c/portal/layout?p_l_id=17840
The tools of a group space are the same as a twinspace (blog - Gallery – etc ..)

2nd there was an announce for creating new groups. I asked for creating an “Experimental Sciences” group, and received a planning form to fill in, from Donatella. I asked to my partners, and published a message for that on eTw forum : partner finding. Then, we collaborated in a wiki (around 20members) to discuss about the form.
We sent the form to Donatella and she answered :
“Dear Eric,
I have read the planning tool and it looks fine to me….”
There is now an official announce for this group and others on :

Who has registered in a group, who participates in a creation of a group among us?
I’d like to know if you disseminate the spirit of LLT !

holidays - vacanze - vakàciò !!!!!

Hello friends !!! Just few lines to wish you all happy holidays in this last part of summer. Together with Monika, I'm in Castiglione della Pescaia (Tuscany), a beautiful castle by the sea, having fun.
Now, that's evidence eTwinning works well in building friendships =)
Have fun you all,

Laura e Monika
