Unit 1- What is eTwinning?


Today I start a new adventure, guided by a group of specialists who are going to show a bunch of teachers how to cross countries borders thanks to nowadays online resources and work collaboratively with other schools/users in order to reach a common goal.

My expectations on this MOOC are learning to build online bridges among the different countries in the world so that teachers can offer our students a broader vision that takes account of the different cultures and ways of thinking. For this reason, after reading about eTwinning, I would say that  this digital tool is a super-powerful resource which can make students aware of the various and good uses of the digital tools, improve their written and oral language skills and learn to work collaboratively accepting and respecting other points of view.

Here you can find my eTwinning personal definition in less than 140 words.

After loads of ideas, I have finally chosen working on positive emotions. Teenagers time can be a little bit confusing as their bodies undergo numerous changes. Nowadays, there are a lot of articles dealing with the emotional intelligence in schools. According to Daniel Goleman (2001), managing emotions could reduce anxiety. So I think that if teachers focus on this aspect of our students' lives, then we will be promoting a relaxed atmosphere and consequently, most of the students will retain what we have been working with and will learn in a more efficient way.
