Presentation 3

In this unit we will see how to register in the eTwinning directory, as well as the use of a virtual platform called 'eTwinning desktop'.

The tutorials that are found here refer to the real platform. However, the practice one is identical. This platform, the Desktop, will allow us to carry out several tasks:

• One of the objectives is to find teachers we can associate with, so we will be provided with search and communication tools with other European teachers.
• Another function of the eTwinning desktop is managing our profile, that is to say, change those data we used when registering or add some new ones (our photo, a change of school, changes in the project expectations, etc.)
• One last activity we would like to mention in the eTwinning Desktop is the chance to manage the projects we have registered in. We can access the data for each project we are working on, as well as other virtual platforms for each project.
