When I started this e-twinning project, I was
really looking forward to working with teachers and students from other
countries, and I have to say it has lived up to all my expectations.
Although the development of the project with my
students hasn’t been as perfect as I would have liked, perhaps due to my and
their lack of experience, it’s been really nice and worthwhile.
They have met other people interested in the
same things, even in the same subjects they are studying, with different
cultures or ages, who consider exotic something they are really used to: Roman
civilization. It’s been a chance to show what they know about them and the
archeological sites around their city, but also an opportunity to remember that
Romans were not only in Spain but in many other countries. They were surprised
with videos and pictures from Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria.
And what can I say about me? I don’t have
enough words to thank Mutlu, the Turkish teacher, everything I’ve learnt from
him, not only about the work in the project but also about his enthusiasm for
teaching. Watching his videos and talking very often with him I already know
how could I involve my students in other activities in order to make them enjoy
their studies. Without realizing, he has been a perfect teacher for me, and
then a good friend.
This is one of the things I liked more: teachers
working together sharing not mainly their knowledge but their humble way of
seeing teaching, so, always learning from each other, not only professionally
but personally.
I’ve never thought I could have students so
far! I love my new Turkish students. I know they have enjoyed and learnt a lot
with the materials I sent and this is very fulfilling and rewarding for a
teacher.
I can’t wait for the next E-twinning or the
Comenius we have applied for. These activities are like fresh air in our
classrooms for students and teachers.
