OUR TWINSPACE
THESE GUIDELINES WILL HELP US TO RUN THE PROJECT PROPERLY.
PLEASE, READ THEM CAREFULLY
- Get used to the Twinspace and take your time to learn about its different tools: Pages, Materials, Forums, Latest Updates, Teacher Bulletin, Chat, Mailbox, ...
- Be careful and respectful with other people´s work. If you have any doubt, please ask a more expert partner. This way, we all learn from others.
- In Teacher Bulletin teachers are in contact permanently. They share information and agree on different matters. This bulletin can be seen only by teachers.
- It´s essential to ask families for a permission in which they allow their sons and daughters to share photos, videos and school email-accounts and to use the materials created during the project.
- Each teacher decides, with his/her students, the level of exposure in the Twinspace, that is, what they want to show in the Twinspace. All teachers will control a good use of the Twinspace.
- Each teacher registers his/her students at the beginning of the project. The teacher decides with the students how to register them: Name and real surname (Ana García- This way we learn foreign surnames) or Name and ficticious surname (Ana Santander-This way, we preserve students´s real identity). Students enter the Twinspace with username and password. Users and passwords are controlled by teachers.
- Students create their profile with a photo-picture-avatar and write a short description.
- Students can be pupil-administrator if their teacher allows them to have a more active role in the project. They should be responsible and respectful every time and help their peers. It´s better to choose some pupil-administrators when they have got used to the Twinspace.
- In Materials, teachers and students upload their documents, pictures, audios and videos. Once those materials are uploaded, we can add them to the pages. We will create an Album for each activity. Each school can create its own Album too.
- In Latest Updates teachers and students write what has been done each day and they comment on other´s partners´ posts.
- In this collaborative project it´s very important not only the planning and the final results, but also the process of work. During the project, students should communicate, interact and collaborate actively.
- Teachers and students can meet on-line in this Twinspace (Online meetings) or in eTwinning Live. These sessions will be arranged beforehand depending on our availabily. You should download on you computer, tablet or mobile phone this Abobe Connect free app: https://helpx.adobe.com/es/adobe-connect/installconfigure/install-application-for-desktop.html
- Teachers in the project should be in eTwinning Live Contacts. This way, we can invite them to online and onsite events, and communicate quickly.
- There´s a free eTwinning application you can download on your mobile device too.
NETIQUETTE
LET´S SPEND SOME TIME READING ABOUT "NETIQUETTE" BEFORE STARTING OUR PROJECT TOGETHER...
"Netiquette" is network etiquette, the do's and don'ts of online communication.
Netiquette covers both common courtesy online and the informal "rules of the road" of cyberspace.
This page provides links to both summary and detail information about Netiquette for your browsing pleasure:
