Didactic use of TwinSpace

In the last few weeks the teachers have received training in the didactic use of the TwinSpace. This is a very important tool of our project because it allows us to narrate everything that happens in the different activities, to communicate, to participate in forums, chats or video calls. Due to its great importance in the right column of this blog we have a link to the TwinSpace that redirects to the last news.

We invite you to enter this fantastic website!

Pupils' Introduction from Spain

Our student groups are introducing themselves to our European partners.

The students of 5th E have told their routines and hobbies taking advantage of an activity in the English subject. Their presentations are contained in a Padlet to which we will be incorporating the final products of each of the courses. Here you can see all the photos of the session.




The 6th A pupils have made a video in which they greet all the project partners.


The 5º B students have made their presentations on paper, making their self-portraits. Click on the image to see their presentations.

Didactic Use of TwinSpace: Spanish teachers

The teachers of the CEIP Ciudad de Mérida started today on the Didactic use of the TwinSpace. It has been a very important session because the new teachers have registered in the eTwinning platform and the rest have been invited to participate in the TwinSpace of our project. When everyone has their accounts validated we will continue with the training by discovering all the possibilities that the TwinSpace offers.

YEAH! #ErasmusDays and Quotes about famous people

During the #ErasmusDays our students did work on famous quotes from famous people in the areas we worked on in the project: healthy food, sports, environment, personal relationships, responsible use of mobile devices and cyber-bullying.

Two of these sentences are those we have inserted in our photographs for the 2021 calendar.

"The human spirit must prevail over technology" (Albert Einstein).

 "Technology is only a tool. In terms of getting children to work together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important" (Bill Gates). 

Our students did small research papers which they presented to their colleagues from Italy, Lithuania and Slovenia at our first online meeting. Our collaborative work as a school has consisted of bringing all their productions together in one online site. The Bookcreator tool has allowed us to do this and now we are pleased to show you the final result. We hope that you will enjoy reading it.

SESSION 7: BUDGET ITEMS. MANAGEMENT AND JUSTIFICATION

Important items for our project are:
  • Management and execution of the Project: To support the realization of the project. It is very important that these expenses are made during the period of execution of the project. The management item cannot be increased but these funds can be used in other budget items. Management costs are: Attendance to training days, mobility costs derived from internal activities (hosting of partners), insurance coverage for participants (clause 1.7), activities aimed at promoting sustainability, graphic or printed material, posters, consumables, good practice manuals, website, meetings, conferences...
  • Learning, teaching and training activities: Item intended for the mobility of students and/or teachers. This item can be increased by the item Management and execution of the project. If we have money left over on the basis of real costs, we can use it on the basis of any expenditure of the project. If because of the Covid-19 it is not possible to carry out a mobility, up to 10% of this item can be transferred to "Exceptional costs" to be able to carry it out as a virtual mobility. The aid paid per participant is 15% of the individual aid granted for mobility.
    • Travel: Travel assistance.
    • Individual support: Accommodation and meals

SESSION 8: THE LIFE OF THE PROJECT THROUGH THE MOBILITY TOOL+

The Mobility Tool+ cannot be accessed until the agreement is signed by both parties (school headmaster and SEPIE). Link to access the tool. 

Mobility Tool+ Guide for KA229: The guide can be found in the section Documentation - School Exchange Associations KA229.

With the Covid-19 situation we can propose to carry out virtual mobilities documenting the whole process. These mobilities should not be included in the Mobility tool+ for the time being. If the situation changes this year or next year, we could start planning the face-to-face mobilities, which are the ones we should plan in the Mobility tool+. In the worst case scenario, if the situation does not improve and we are still unable to travel, we will already have the mobilities done and they will be the ones we declare in the Mobility tool.


Activities affected by Covid-19: Update on health measures and FAQs on the impact of the pandemic.
