The teaching context summarised
The children we teach are changing

The core values of education are going through a radical
change as the knowledge society impacts on institutions and
ways of instruction that date mainly to the 19th Century.
We (as teachers) are mostly still seen as conservative in our
methods and our views about learning.
What is necessary now in educational
thinking?

A new literacy set underpinned by competencies
European key
competencies
Why eTwinning?
What’s in eTwinning for the Teachers?
A different way to deliver the curriculum

An easy way into transnational
collaboration
Natural way to use ICT in the classroom

Provides opportunity for professional
cooperation with other teachers

Teachers are free
to choose subject
and method to
carry out the project
What’s in eTwinning for the Pupils?
The possibility of more authentic learning

Develops a better understanding of cultures,
habits, religions
Using ICT and developing digital literacy / abilities.

Richer curriculum experience; geography, MFL,
mother tongue, other history viewpoints, different
takes on science..
The non-ICT aspects: co-operation, planning, taking
responsibility, making choices…

The play ethic: because
projects are usually
stimulating, motivating
and fun for the pupils
& teachers
What’s in eTwinning for the School?
Easy-entry to the world of international projects

The opportunity to become part of a collaborative
learning community
A level of built-in quality in the project because of
the quality labels

Opportunity for personal professional development
of teachers & school leaders
Greater visibility for the school- Parents are
impressed
2 examples of projects
