FINAL  EVALUATION

1. What have you learnt from the course?

Now I know more tools and ICT resources useful for my teaching. I learnt  evaluation  how to use rubrics for evaluation and I know they are helpful in many situation. I've started to reflect more on my projects. I observed lots of projects and I btook many ideas from them. I can read ho to work a project and learn a bit, but if I see how other people manage it, if some people give me tips on my job, If we interact together I can learn a lot. 

2. What are the positive aspects of the MOOC?

Interactivity. P2P and feedback from other particpants. Opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences

3. What are the negative aspects of the MOOC?

I found difficult to navigate from the different challenges. At the beginning I didn't understand what I have to do or how I could do.

4. What would you suggest to improve it? Nothing to improve. It is great, maybe I didn't have enough time to read everything  and to complete challanges as good as I would.

Learning evidence portfolio

Open eTwinning MOOC gave me the opportunity to see how other peers evaluated my job.

I've also  read the projects other partners have written and evaluated  six of them.

I cannot say that in the projects I've seen,  there were  common strengths;  it depends of the projects.  Some of them were innovative with a really original idea, while other were not so innovative, but maybe well linked to the school curriculum.  A lot of them included a wide range of ICT tools.

The most common weakness, in my opinion are realated to the assessement: this part of the project ( even in my project draft) weren't well described. In some projects evaluation was  only mentioned. Many project included results, but not how assess if they are achieved or not.

Another weakness quite common is realted to collaboration amnog students. I think that, expecially with young pupils is difficult to plan real cooperation activities. However this is the focus and this MOOC, and P2P evaluation actvity help me to reflect about this aspect and to find out strategies and idea to develope collaboration among pupils. 

According the assessment of my peers another weakness of my draft project is the innovation. I know it need to become more innovative.

Some projects I've read were innovative and original and I learn from them or I take some good idea to develope better my draft project and my future projects.

What is  eTwinning for me

In eTwinning you meet teachers in a friendly context
When I start a new eTwinning project or I take part in a learning event or join in a group I always find new teachers, we take time to know each other to exchange our experiences, we haven't no stress-

Learn in relaxing atmosphere: every activity in eTwinning is an opportunity to learn. You can do this at home, maybe drink coffe or tea.You attend a course, seminary, event and share your opinion with other teachers, I really love this.

Develope your teaching style in an inspiring environment
eTwinning is plenty of opportunity to develope your teaching methods, strategies, to find new ideas or new tools. Everything you do through eTwinning is innovation
