The eTwinning National Support Service organised a TwinSpace Seminar for teachers who are already engaged in eTwinning Projects. The seminar was held on the 26th of February 2010 at the eLearning Centre,
in Floriana and was presented by Ms. Marianne Schembri, eTwinning expert teacher and one of Malta’s Ambassadors for eTwinning. An eTwinning pack including a printout of the New TwinSpace notes, a pendrive and eTwinning stationery was given to each participant. The Seminar was also open for those who could not physically attend to the meeting, such as Gozitan eTwinners, by means of a FlashMeeting video-conferencing link.
During this Seminar, the teachers were taken from the very first steps of the TwinSpace - logging in and inviting other members - to the actual collaborative building of this online space.
Each TwinSpace can be personalised with Activities (Pages), and each Actitivity can be shaped in any way that the teacher deems fit, by adding widgets and page elements such as blogs, wikis, online content from the Internet, image archives, etc. The teachers were also given some hands on activities to try out on their own TwinSpaces. After the Seminar, the teachers met for an informal get-together in the foyer.
Present for the TwinSpace Seminar were members of the eTwinning National Support Service,
Ms. Jeannette Cardona and Ms. Amanda Debattista, and the eLearning EO’s, Mr. Emmanuel Zammit and Mr. Vincent Carabott.
