Flying the eTwinning Flag Video

European Quality Label

Well, further recognition for (y)our work and another award for your class. Pleased?
As I always say,
1. If you're going to do something, do it well, the best you can!
2. Those who work hard will, sooner or later, be recognised and rewarded for it.
We started at a national level and now we've reached out the European Quality Label :) End of the line???

Quality Label

To kick off 2015 / 2016 nothing better than a national recognition for our great eTwinning work last school year.
In "Stone Culture Rolling Over Europe" we showed collaborative work between partner schools, students and teachers, involved the school community, integrated the curriculum and made appropriate and diversified use of ICT.
Another amazing achievement for (y)our class and our school for two years in a row - first with a Honour Position with this class blog and now with our eTwinning project!

Congratulations!

eTwinning 10th Anniversary

eTwinning is a free online community for schools in Europe which aims at strengthening and developing collaboration between European schools within a secure network and platform.

Launched in 2005 as the main action of the European Commission’s eLearning Programme, eTwinning allows staff (teachers, head teachers, librarians, etc.), working in a school in one of the European countries involved, to communicate, collaborate, develop projects, share and, in short, feel and be part of the most exciting learning community in Europe. 

The eTwinning action promotes school collaboration in Europe through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by providing support, tools and services for schools.

The eTwinning Portal (www.etwinning.net) is the main meeting point and workspace for the action. Available in twenty-seven languages, the eTwinning Portal has registered the involvement of almost 310,000 members and over 41,000 projects between two or more schools across Europe and the commitment of about 140,000 schools.  Astonishing numbers for a community that has just celebrated its 10th anniversary!!

8ºA couldn’t miss the celebrations and joined the best way possible. We started 10 days earlier the scheduled day in order to make everyone around us aware of what eTwinning is and ended up involving parents and gathering the whole school community.

Below is a compilation of what 8ºA did from April 28th to May 7th.

Hope you enjoy the video and leave a comment. Thank you!

Special thanks to ALL PARENTS and to Alexandre & Vitória for their precious collaboration.

Info & Reminder

Here's a short info, reminder and request:

Once we're part of the eTwinning Project "Stone Culture Rolling Over Europe" and have thus been publishing stuff in different files within the twinspace, I've collected all our materials and gathered them in a padlet wall, whose link you can (not easily) see below the pic "A Proud eTwinning Class" on the right-hand column.
Anyway, here's the link http://padlet.com/teacheralex_dua/StoneCulture for you to follow.
I'd love to have your opinion on the final products mostly with your materials / pics, but all comments should be here, below, in this blogpost.
Thank you.
