This document summarizes an evaluation presentation by Clair Mulder of The Netherlands on a professional development workshop (PDW) held in Rhodes, Greece. The presentation evaluated several aspects of the PDW including the information provided, organization, time allotted, relevance, and whether the presenter would recommend it to colleagues. Specific workshops on evaluating eTwinning projects, eSafety, teacher motivation, and digital tools were highlighted. Suggestions for improvement included assessing presentation quality, specifying workshops for different education levels, allowing more time for best practices, and shortening presentations to accommodate more sessions. Links to resources about the PDW were also provided.

4. Increase individual engagement.
* Our education systems are under increasing and
radical pressure to reform.
* New learning models will shift from learning hierarchies to
learning communities.
* Social linked data will create the next new opportunities for
efficient learning collaboration
* Learn how to design better ict based learning systems
* The participation of eTwinning in this is highly important

The eTwinning ambassadors’ network (the external circle of 12 people) is a safe net that unities us. Can you follow the thread on which these people stand on? It forms the word “eTwinning” in a free and flexible but supportive net. The center of the circle has dual meaning. The core of the network is technology and the digital world is again the core element of this workshop. The message could be: “click” on eTwinning and become a safe digital citizen.
In our complex world, we need safe, uniting networks; we need education that promotes the culture of unity, of tolerance, of love, of recognition of diversity as a wealth.
That’s eTwinning!"

How to motivate teachers, Rita Zurrapa, PT NSS
Motivating teachers? How hard can it be? Taking teachers out of their confort zone is a challenge. What should we tell them? should we address them? what should we focus on when presenting eTwinning? In this workshop ambassadors will be challenged to reflect on this and some resources will be shared.
Evaluating an eTwinning project: The QL criteria, Irene Pateraki , GR NSS
In this workshop, participants will see how they can evaluate an eTwinning project taking into account the 6 Quality Label Criteria: 1. Pedagogical Innovation, 2. Curricular Integration, 3. Communication and Exchange, 4. Collaboration, 5. Use of ICT, 6.Results and Documentation. The presentation can then be used by the ambassadors in their teacher training workshops.
eSafety and Netiquette, Aris Louvris, GR NSS
Teachers, are in need of helping youngsters to make the most of online activities and therefore growing into responsible digizens (digital citizens). This workshop will introduce participants to eSafety related projects, namely eSafety Label and Web We Want. It will provide them with a variety of materials for their students as well as a range of open education resources for teachers, including interactive lesson plans and worksheets. During the workshop ambassadors will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities that will help them to start the eSafety discussion to the teachers, with emphasis on netiquette and copyright issues, in accordance to eTwinning.
Start a journey together
Common goal and shared plan
Significant contribution to the project
Collaboration
Project results must be visible
Don't separate activities according to countries but try to work together
