Project Diary

It is mainly a way to communicate with the SNA. Its objective is for teachers to write about the development and assessment of the activities and to make questions (as we shall see, students cannot access it, although they can read it). The National Support Service reviews Blog posts, reads and answers the doubts that appear by trying to help the teachers in the practice of their ideas. Once a project has been finished, the Project Diary can become a great base document for final assessment, if you wish to do it.

eTwinning Groups 

eTwinning Groups are teacher communities focusing on common topics of interest. It is a new tool to be launched in 2010. Therefore, they will not be available yet when this training course begins.

However, it is advisable to pay attention to any news that may come up on the SNA and SCA websites. These groups will have tools such as forums, chats or file uploading and management, which will allow them to work and learn with mates from all over Europe about a topic of interest. Initially, both the topics and the group moderators will be suggested by the National and Central Support Services, although in a near future teachers can start and moderate their own groups.

Pedagogical online meetings

Pedagogical meetings are training activities for teachers lasting one or two weeks and directed by experts in the respective fields. They are done in several languages (until now they had been done in English, French and German, although the range of languages will be constantly expanding). They are summoned periodically and the number of participants is limited but high. Therefore, we should pay attention to any news published in the Central and National Service sites to know when the registration periods begin.

All the information about these meetings appears in the SCA site, in the 'Professional Development' section, in 'Didactic Encounters'. Here you can see the latest activities.
