Writing our Profile. Why? How?

What is a STUDENT PROFILE? WHAT do we make it FOR?

A student profile gives basic information about you, so that the other students from other countries, who do not know you as those of your class, may get an idea about you.

What should we write in our profile?

If you are going to work with other students, you must know a little bit about them first. How old are they? What do they like? Where do they study? But in fact, you decide which information to give. Remember, all the people in the project (including your teacher(s) can see it (so don't write what is too personal for you)

Can we add a photograph? What alternatives are there?

Of course you can add your own personal photograph, but again, everybody in the project will see it (Nobody from outside will have access to it) If you are under 18, you need permission from your parents to do so. You could also take a photograph you like, but if it is not yours, you must respect copyright and be sure that you don't need  the author's consent and you quote your sources. (see Using Images from Internet for more information)

Another interesting possibility is to create an avatar (You may know that word from computer games) An avatar is not a photo, but it is a representation of you. There are many programs to create avatar, and some of them can be used freely, (as My Blue Robot and others)

How can we write my profile?

You need to click on your name on the top right corner of your TWINSPACE. Then it is very simple, just fill all the boxes. Don't forget to save things when you do them! Here is a video that can help you:

Any more questions?

Just ask your teacher(s) for help, they will be delighted to do so!
