Who are we? How did we become an ambassador?

  •  

    Hello, I'm Florence from France. I am a primary school teacher in the Northern of France. My pupils are 9-10. I also teach English at level 5 and 6 in my school. I am an eTwinner since 2006 and I love working with my students on Etwinning or Comenius projects (around 20  eTwinning projects and 4 Comenius). For some of them, I received a National Quality Label or an European one. I also won a national Etwinning competition  in France en 2010. After that, people asked me to become an ambassador in my region to share my experience about eTwinning. For the moment, there are 5 ambassadors in the Northern of France: 2 primary schools and 3 high schools.  And you?

    Hello everyone:-) 

    I am Fatima from London - UK. I am Portuguese and Spanish teach in an elementary school in south-east London, a very multi-cultural school, with children from a wide variety of backgrounds. I started teaching 10 years ago, before I was in the Incentive and Corporate Travel business. I myself come from a multicultural background and having traveled a lot, meet people of different nationalities and cultures, I am passionate about internationalism, languages ​​and cultural diversity. I speak 5 languages ​​fluently. 

    I became an ambassador eTwinning because I wanted to share my expriences and promote eTwinning other colleagues. I began to be invited by the British Council to talk about my 'case studies' and my school projects. Since we switched to Comenius eTwinning, we made ​​two more than four years, at the time still part of a very interesting project which will be completed in 2015. 

    I consider eTwinning ambassadors as a special community of colleagues and friends:-)

A few weeks ago we received approval for the launch of a new Erasmus +. I will be still present for that at my school in my spare time. I'm an eTwinning ambassador, and now I can enjoy my experiences hobby..sharing, exploring new ICT developments.Yesterday I was present at the meeting eTwinning here ... won three days in Rome to enjoy the eTwinning community in Europe!

So far, I have made ​​some eTwinning projects, four of them received the National Quality Label, one - European Quality Label. I have been an eTwinning ambassador for two years. Being an ambassador gives me the opportunity to share my knowledge on the eTwinning program with other teachers from both Europe and my region. 

     

    Hello from Germany. Doreen;-) 

     

    Hello everyone! 

    After my first project, "Give me a hug", a project about a teddy bear who has traveled all over Europe, I was so excited about eTwinning, who asked me to tell other teachers in the Netherlands for my project. Even though I did it in my country, I joined several projects and I became more familiar with eTwinning and the "family" eTwinning in the Netherlands. Now I give workshops and presentations on projects (ideas) and Support Services. 

    Best regards, Helen

    Hello, I'm Mette from Denmark 

    I am a primaryschoolteacher. I teach Danish, art, musik and English. I thought Germany many years ago, but since I became a teacher, teaching only primaryschool (in Denmark we have a school where all the teachers in theory be taught at all levels, but that has changed over the past 5- 10 years, so now we are more specialized), I teach German. 

    I took only one part in two etwinningprojects and Comenius, but I think that eTwinning is a great way to teach children about culturel and language daylilife and other countries. I'm over my plans with my thirdgraders very interessede in the work that you do with kindergartens. In Denmark it has been difficult to find kindergartenteachers committed, and Danish ambassadors will make an effort next year to inspire kindergartenteachers to participate etwinningprojects. Best regards

    Hi All,

    I became ambassador because I was an experienced project coordinator in Provincial National Education Directorate of İzmir. Head of Unit selected me as an ambassador. In Turkey there are 81 Provincial Directorate and therefore we are 81 Ambassadors. We communicate with each other in social network and meet face to face in annual events or e-twinning workshops. I was also in the primary school as a teacher past two years. I completed four eT projects. I was awarded Quality Labels for all these projects. İnvolving in these projects improved my experience in an eTwinning. I have also attended courses for ambassadors Level 1 and level 2.
    We spread the practice eTwinning projects in schools around our region and help the new winners.

    Hello, I'm Isabelle. I'm a primary teacher from France. I've been in eTwinning since 2009. First I worked with an Italian friend. On day I received an email for being an ambassador. I've never win anything (and never ask for) because I'm only working on small projects. During the ambassador course I "met" new etwinners and that's when I understand what the word teaching community means. Now I'm a part of this community I think. With all of you.
