eTwinning project management
This document summarizes tips for defining and creating a good eTwinning project. It discusses the importance of planning before a project, collaborating during it, and reflecting after it is complete. Key aspects to consider in planning include involving students, setting objectives and expectations, and addressing organizational issues. During a project, it is important to focus on motivating activities that require collaboration. After a project, evaluators should reflect on what worked well and what could be improved, and consider applying for an eTwinning Quality Label to recognize high-quality projects. The overall message is that eTwinning projects should have clear structure but also allow participants to have fun through collaborative learning activities.
