Me and my eTwinning pal (Wiki project)

Hi everybody,

Today I bring you what we have done in one of our last collaborative tasks in our eTwinning Project.

We, the teachers, thought that we were reaching the end of this school year and it was high time to do something different. So we proposed our students to write in pairs with a foreign partner about any topic they might find interesting to them, and it could have the format which suited them best: An interview (where they interviewed each other), a description, a story, a poem, a collaborative project on something/somebody they both liked (a group of music, a TV series, …) … But the one thing which was important and they had to respect when doing it is THEY HAD TO use the wiki we had created for them in our virtual classroom at Ibaialde Moodle.

Each pair had a site (wiki) where both partners could work together according to the characteristics of a wiki.  Once they found a partner they had to agree on the topic and what their approach to it was going to be like. Then it was the time to start work.  They could include photos, links to web-pages and videos, … so they could do almost any thing. We invited them to feel free and get ready to surprise us with their collaborative work!! And they DID IT!!

Here we bring you the contents of some of the wiki projects they have made.There are a lot more, but we consider these 14 pages are a good sample of how this tool can be used to work together with far away partners.
