Teacher Introductions

  • This page is devoted to the teacher members that are about to work together in order to bring this project to life. Teachers are encouraged to write a few lines presenting themselves, which is a task that, hopefully, will bring the group together. 

    So, dear teachers, let's get to know each other!

    Let's complete the first task into becoming a strong eTwinning team!

    P.S. Before you start writing, I have an idea!

    You can "cartoonize" your personal picture (if you want to add one to your post) like I did through toonme.com.  It's fun!

  • A few words about me

    Eirini Paraponiari

    Hello, everyone! I'm Eirini, an English teacher from Greece. I teach English, especially to young learners, since 2013, and I must say that this job absolutely reflects all of my interests. Planning my lessons and creating the best material I can think for my students have actually become some of my greatest hobbies. This is how I discovered eTwinning, which I joined this year and I am already a fan! I love the way it brings people together into cooperating under a shared goal, no matter how different their backgrounds are. I, also, admire the effect it has on my students and their learning, since they participate with real enthusiasm everytime we join a project. I am extremely excited to work in this project and really impatient to see the outcomes. I am sure it is going to be a rewarding experience for everyone!
