What is eTwinning? eTwinning allows schools in 32 European countries to work collaboratively using Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Teachers and schools (working with pupils and students between the ages of 3 and 20) can register their details, and enter this world of technology and education.
In eTwinning everyone collaborates online. Teachers with their students take part in a range of curriculum based projects using exciting and innovative ICT tools. It is easy for schools to form short or long term partnerships in any subject area; there is no administration process and no time restrictions for registrations. What type of work should be done? You can work on any project you wish to work on. The only condition is that they should contain the use of ICT and classroom activities. Preferably, it should fit into the National Curricula of the schools taking part in the project.
