1. A way to enter the eTwinning world?
Georgiadou Maria

2. Being fascinated by an eTwinning LE,
thanks to which I have learnt about
“ A hole in the wall” of Sugata Mitra,
I decided to create “my hole in
eTwinning”, by asking myself simple
questions, as he did!......

3. Etwinning is a successful story of
European school collaboration. How can
somebody have an idea of what it
means?
From the number
of registrations
From the number
of projects
Let’s see the statistics!

5. It’s common for all the countries that:
the number of registered users is much greater
than that of projects! Why?

6. You must have a project idea before searching for
partners! ETwinners have the possibility to find
ready made projects to use or to take ideas from
them. Let’s see how:
1) Project kits
2) Project

7. Project kits: search by 12 thematic fields

8. Project Gallery

10. Three levels of projects: easy, intermediate, advanced.
If an eTwinner wanted to start with an easy one, how
many easy projects would find in eTwinning?
Let’s have a look in every category
41/10 ( that means that 10 out of 41 are easy)
10/2
16/3
36/7
48/11
27/10
36/17
23/4
1/4/46/12
26/9

11. RESULTS
1) 75 out of 186 projects are “easy”
2) You can have the same project in
many fields.
3) The same kit may be included in
many different fields. For example,
the kit “Young entrepreneur” exists
in the follow categories: technology,
languages, economics and
entrepreneurship, culture. That
means that the number of kits is
much smaller.

12. Asking people who attended eTwinning workshops if
they started an eTwinning project, they answered:
1)I need time to understand
2) It’s too much things to manage!
3) I have no partner!
Although, many of them accepted to
participate to an easy project, started by a
new friend and old eTwinner!

13. What exactly is a project?
A project is an organized commitment of effort
to produce a defined outcome within defined
constraints of scope, time, budget, and quality
( Hertzfeld)
Let’s consider as easy project ,that commitment
of short effort, that provides the defined outcomes.

14. A project kit contains information about:
1) Details (description of the project)
2)Pedagogical objectives 3)Process 4) Evaluation 5) Follow-up 6)Links

15. Finishing, I would like to make some more…simple
questions:
1) “The beginning is half of everything” told Pythagoras.
Are mini project kits the secret of being involved in
eTwinning?
2)Would be useful to create some of them?
3)How to proceed?
4)What about introduce this activity in the eTwinning
workshops?
5) Could Ted –Ed be a source of inspiration to create project
kits?

16. These questions will be ,more or less,
answered and presented very soon, in the
webinar for ambassadors.
Thank you for
your
attention!
