Week 3 eTwinning MOOC

Task for Week 3

The task for week 3 is to plan a collaborative quality project.   This is a great opportunity to really begin to think about a project for next academic year.  I am keen to plan a project that enables even the youngest pupils to collaborate with one another.  I have found that whatever age the pupils are, it can be challenging to create a fully collaborative project.  

One tool I have used in eTwinning project is Padlet.  It is a good way for pupils to be able to quickly respond to one another and have a shared space.  I would like to develop the use of it further, using it to encourage collaboration between pupils using padlet.

Another tool that is really useful in a project is Google forms.  I have used these to create questions that the children can answer.  We can then compare the results and look at similarities and differences.  With older children I have got the children to create their own forms.  This could be a follow up activity to information provided by the pupils.

Here are some of the responses to some questions that children in the UK and Italy answered in the project 'We are what we eat?'
 

In a recent project we have used story jumper to create a recipe book of the recipes the children have made in the project.  This is a really nice resource to share with parents as well as having a nice end of project piece of work.
