Recently I have attended a Learning Event on eTwinning site, entitled "eTwinning and Social Media", having as moderators two very experienced and inspiring teachers - Arjana Blazic from Croatia and Bart Verswijvel from Belgium. It was a ten-day course divided into rides, full of attractions, magic and fun. The participants formed a happy team from all over Europe, around 200 teachers, full of energy and enthusiasm ,ready to do tasks together,to share experience and make new friends!
Personally, I learned a lot from this LE (actually, from all the LEs I learn a myriad of new things), and I think the usefulness of this event is very, very high,as both the teachers and students use the social media nowadays a lot, but using it in education is a very wise thing. Instead of letting our students swim in the all the social networks, we'd better guide them and give tasks to use them wisely and in an interesting way!
In fact, our students are happy when their teachers know how to use social media in education. And, what is more, they're deeply impressed when their teacher knows more than they do in this field! :)
To conclude, I'd like to say that the Learning Events on eTwinning are real treasures! We discover the endless possibilities of the 21st century teaching and learning, the communities of teachers, interested in changing today's teaching to its best!
#ETWION - is the best! :)
