Our eTwinning National Support Organisation has just awarded 284 projects with Quality Labels. This school year, however, one teacher could apply for the NQL with only four projects. I'm happy and proud to say that four projects I started and collaborated on with my pupils have received the Labels:
- Let’s walk around USA!: An excellent project with successful student collaboration in international teams. The students have widened their knowledge about an English speaking country, gaining language, communication and collaboration skills on the way. The teacher showed an excellent command of organising and mentoring mixed-age peer collaboration. Also, her personal contribution to organising, documenting and sharing interesting and useful material is notable. Materials produced and developed during the project can be used in future classes.
- If I were...Tom Sawyer!: A project well-integrated into more than one curricula. The students obviously enjoyed doing it and the teacher showed excellent mentoring and organisational skills. The dissemination is creative and the end results are sustainable and can be used for different school subjects in classes and for future projects.
- The Magical World of Beatrix Potter: The Magical World of Beatrix Potter is a frame within which the students of different ages, from 7 countries, worked together on developing their creativity, digital literacy, knowledge on internet safety, tolerance and other key competences, while making friends and having lots of fun.
- eTwinventors are on the stage: Doing research, solving problems and imagining the future - these are the key features of this project and what's most valuable about it. The teacher and the students did real collaborative work, created stories, e-books, dictionaries and had a lot of fun on the way. They learned a lot about inventors and their inventions by researching and discussing.
We've taken part in several other projects this school year, but I think that we've contributed the most to these four.
