EduDigiPark Etwinning ProjectAs educators, the use of Web 2.0 tools is transforming our work, and more specifically the way we support students in the classroom. As schools bring more technology into their classrooms, teachers will in turn strive to put more technology in their students’ hands. That is, if they are prepared to do so.In the spirit of technology for teaching, we want to offer you some great Web 2.0 educational tools that we encourage you to seek out, practice with, and learn to incorporate into your work in the classroom.
Will it take time to learn to use these tools? Yes. Are the benefits worth the time? Absolutely! |

Our Aims
We will use web2 tools and try them with all partners. Online tools and resources will have made it easier for teachers to instruct students, and for students to collaborate with those teachers and with other students . These “Web 2.0” teaching tools aren’t magical, but they may seem to defy definition at times since they will save time, help you to stay organized, and often take up little space on a computer. Innovative teachers are using the networked nature and ease of Web 2.0 to create virtual extensions of their classrooms. So we aim to teach English by using these enjoyable and creative tools while having connect with different cultures and traditions in the world.

We'll make our pupils understand that learning is an entertaining action. They can learn by playing games and experiencing different cultures.
