The project aims at introducing eTwinning-based activities into everyday school life. It does not concentrate on one single topic, but it offers a different approach to everyday didactics, bringing eTwinning into the curricula. We want to prove that ICT and teamwork can add to pupils’ motivation and involvement in all normally planned activities of different disciplines, and that eTwinning-based didactics is not time-consuming but creativity-inducing. Il progetto sarà sviluppato, in particolare nei rapporti tra alunni, in lingua italiana. I materiali prodotti saranno comunque, laddove possibile, tradotti in inglese dagli alunni stessi per favorire la disseminazione.

Project's steps: 1) all involved students, in the two different schools (Italy-Hungary) will be given a partner from the other school; 2) that boy/girl will be the student's TWIN till the end of the project; 3) all disciplines will be addressed; 4) all involved teachers will have their TWIN teacher in the other Institute; 5) all involved teachers will follow their normal lesson plan but agree to develop at least one TWIN ACTIVITY a year: that means one of their normal activities has to be realized by students and teachers working with their partners (working in pairs, via ICT tools, as the pairs are extra-national); 6) being two partner schools, there will be al least two TWIN ACTIVITIES a year for each subject; 7) all activities will be evaluated both by the teachers and the students, and the results will be compared. hide
