   GUIDELINES

1-Get used to the Twinspace and take your time to learn about its different tools: Pages, Materials, Forums, Project Diary, Chat,...

2-Be careful and repectful with other people´s work. If you have any doubt, please ask a more expert partner. This way, we all learn from other´s.

3-In Teacher´s Bulletin teachers are in contact permanently. They share information and agree on different matters. This bulletin can be seen only by teachers.

4-It´s essential to ask families for a permission in which they allow their sons and daughters to share photos and email accounts and to use the materials created during the project.

5-Each teacher decides with the 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.

6-Each teacher registers their 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) o Name and ficticious surname (Ana Santander-This way, we preserve students´s real identity). Students enter the Twinspace with user and password. Users and passwords are controlled by teachers.

7-Students create their profile with a photo-picture-avatar and write a short description.

8-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 a few pupil-administrator when they get used to the Twinspace.

9-In the Project Diary teachers and students write what has been done each day and they comment on other´s partners´ posts.

10-In this 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.
