COURSE FOR COMENIUS COORDINATORS BCN

On the 23rd September 2009 Catalan coordinators did the first work group session. We are also attending the course. Comenius Coordinators from all over Catalonia are meeting regularly in Barcelona (a total of 5 sessions from September 2009 up to April 2010) to discuss and be advised on how to deal with a Comenius project. It is being of great help to those like us for whom this is the first time we are into a Comenius Project.

Comenius people responsible for Department d'Educació and well-experienced coordinators support us and help us with doubts and enquiries we all are having along the project.

It is highly recommended to attend those work group sessions. It is a good way to meet colleagues with similar interests and fears and make friendship and start collaboration among us. Thanks Cristina (Berga), Alba (Manresa), Alba (Prats)! See you all.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN...

This is how it all began: two schools looking for a partner to work on a sports project with ICTs. A teacher from Bremen (Daniel Weber in Germany) and the other from Artés (Rosa M. Galiano in Spain). Both teachers found each other on eTwinning platform in 2007. First contact on September 2007 to share ideas and experiences. Very soon first results and the project no longer a dream but a reality. 32 teens aged 14-17 being part of a European project during school year 2007-08. New visions, new challenges. The results on: http://sports-tournament-project.blogspot.com

The eTwinning project named "Sports Tournament Project" became the embryo of our current Comenius Project. With the eTwinning project our German partner was awarded with the eTwinning Quality prize for our common project. http://www.wilhelm-olbers-schule.de/434.html

By the end of July 2009 we were excited to know we were COMENIUS! Our schools got a bilateral Comenius project: "Sports Tournament Project 2.0"! Same teachers, same schools, same project with plenty of possibilities (this time with subsidy) and new students! http://www.scribd.com/doc/34640682

Working & learning activities in lo-kompakt

Nach einigen erfolgreichen Projekten haben wir uns entschlossen unsere eTwinning-Projekte mehr und mehr in den Unterricht unserer Klassen zu implementieren. Aus diesem Grund benutzen wir die VLE lo-kompakt, die uns kostenlos zu Verfügung gestellt wird.
Mit dieser Plattform, bzw. mit den Vorgängern lo-net und lo-net2 habe ich Verlauf meiner Arbeit gute bis sehr gute Erfolge verzeichnen können. Die Kommunikation ist klar und Aufgaben (auch über eTwinning hinaus) können definiert und verwaltet werden. Das spart Zeit und setzt Kapazitäten frei.
