- What is eTwinning? - eTwinning enables European schools to engage in collaborative projects using the internet and ICT It is a strand of the European Commission’s Lifelong Learning Programme - eTwinning began in 2005 and became part of the Comenius in 2007. It is a Community for Schools: - A Community for European schools/teachers to work together/learn from each other/work collaboratively.
- 32 European Countries: All EU countries can participate As well as Norway, Iceland, Turkey, Switzerland & Croatia. There is now an option called ‘eTwinning Puls’ which allows you to connect to Armenia, Azerbajian, Georgia, Moldova, tunisia and Ukraine (this is optional) 25 Languages eTwinning website available in 25 languages to make it easier for all teachers across Europe to use eTwinning, not just those who are fluent in English. You can change the display language of the website on the home page at www.etwinning.net. There is a support team (called National Support Service) for every European country. In the UK, this is the British Council Teachers Teacher numbers are constantly changing but you can see the most up to date figures on the home page For example, how many teachers are registered and who joined most recently. Projects eTwinning project numbers are constantly changing as teachers join eTwinning & start/finish collaborative projects at any time
- The slide shows how there are 3 levels to eTwinning: Public pages – project ideas etc Desktop – for registered teachers only. You need to have a login to access this bit TwinSpace – A “virtual classroom” for when you have a partnership. Private to you and your partner schools only (nut you can choose to make this public)
- ICT in the classroom : - eTwinning is an online programme but you don’t have to be an ICT expert to use it - eTwinning can allow you to use collaboratve ICT tools and perhaps even develop new skills to support a project - ICT always been a strong focus of etwinning since it started in 2005 - A key aim is to encourage the use of ICT throughout the curriculum, not just in during a formal ICT class Motivational real audience A pupil might not want to impress you with his or her work but if they know it’s going to be read by peers overseas then they may think differently! Participating in an eTwinning project could give you the opportunity to work collaboratively with pupils; for example using an ICT programme or tool in a new manner in the classroom Safe Safe because only teachers can register and all new registrations are monitored eTwinning gives you access to various ICT - you as the teacher have control over setting pupil access including how much access they have to upload and delete work, they are completely separate from the teachers area and you can issue or withdraw their passwords at will. Share Store everything between partners in one place. For example, keep a project diary or use the eTwinning twinspace area to share/store/record your eTwinning project activities. Collaboration between teachers: eTwinning allows teachers to collaborate but individual teachers decide how they would like to do this For example, you might share resources in the resource section; create a collaborative project with partner teachers; take part in an online ICT training event; participate in a teacher room or etwinning group to share pedagogical ideas.

- Once you have registered, you can log in

- The first screen you will come to is your list of contacts. Scroll up and down and select the one partner that you want to set up the project with. This must be a non UK contact. NOTE – Any eTwinning project that is being registered needs to have at least one partner. You may have more than one partner school you are working with. If so, you can add more partners to your project later on.
- Once you have done this you will come to the next step called “Project Description” In this screen you are going to give your project a title and a description. This is why it’s a good idea to have had this conversation already if possible. It makes registering the project easier. You partner will then need to accept. Projects are then approved by the National Support Service of each country. We check that everything is OK. If it is, we approve it and you get access to the TwinSpace
