A rubrica to evalute you eTwinning profile by Diego Rojas

1. How accurate is my eTwinning profile?
Rubric for self-evaluation by Diego Rojas – Spanish NSS
1. IMAGE
The image we choose gives information about us. In eTwinning, as in many other social
networks, profiles which include an image get more hits and interactions than those
which don’t.
None: There’s no image.
Fair: There’s an image, but I’m not recognizable or it does not deliver any information
about me.
Good: There’s a personal image –edited or not- which allows recognizing me, or I’m
using a personalized avatar.
Excellent: There’s a personal image –edited or not- which allows recognizing me, or
I’m using a personalized avatar. In any case, the main image or other images in
my gallery suggest some ideas about my personal profile.
2. BOARD
This is the space for direct interaction with other eTwinners. Here we display up-to-
date information: comments or recommendations about other eTwinning activities,
suggestions for projects, interesting resources…
None: There are no posts.
Fair: There are posts, but they are vague, with no specific information.
Good: Posts give specific, useful information. It may allow other eTwinners to know
better about me.
Excellent: Posts give specific, useful information. It may allow other eTwinners to
know better about me. They are specially useful for any teacher with a profile
or interests similar to mine. They invite to interaction and comments on my
board.
3. ABOUT…
We describe here our professional profile, our interests and main work lines. Even if it
can be edited, the information delivered is supposed to be estable in the short term.
We should include key words which allow us to be searched. It is convenient to use all
languages we want to use to communicate with other eTwinners.
None: There is no description.
Fair: There is a description, but it does not deliver much specific information about my
professional preferences and profile.

2. Good: In my description, I include some basic professional details, like subjects I teach
or the age of my students.
Excellent: Besides some basic details, I add key ideas about possible projects and work
lines. I use more than one language.
4. PROJECT IDEA
Do we already have any idea on what we want for our next project? This is the place to
make it public. Even if it is a general, not detailed idea, we should avoid being too
vague. We can give hints on various aspects of the project; theme, subjects,
methodology, age of students, kits we’d like to use... Remember to keep it updated
according to our preferences at any moment. It is convenient to publish it in all
languages we want to use in our project.
None: There is no description.
Fair: There is a description, but it is too vague and gives little specific information on
the kind of project I’d like to work in.
Good: There is a description which includes some basic details, like age, subjects,
duration...
Excellent: Besides these basic details, I mention main objectives, the methodologies I
wish to explore, or I refer to other similar projects.
5. PREFERENCES
Have a look at you status in “Available for an eTwinning project” and “Available for an
eTwinning Plus project”. Do they reflect your real preferences? Remember that if you
tag yourself as “not available” you will be invisible for search engines and contact lists
when other eTwinners are looking for partners.
None: Mmmm... no, I haven’t checked, but I’m a bit too busy now. I’ll do it later.
Fair: I still haven’t got a clear idea on one/any of the options. In the meanwhile, I keep
it/them marked as “no”.
Good: I still haven’t got a clear idea on one/any of the options. In the meanwhile, I
keep it/them marked as “yes”, so I’m open to be contacted. Who knows,
maybe someone will come with an appealing proposal.
Excellent: I have checked both status and they reflect my current wishes regarding
participating or not in eTwinning or eTwinning Plus projects.
