Challenge unit 4 - Collaboration activity

The best part of eTwinning projects is when our pupils that are really far away can collaborate and share activities. Some collaboration tools very useful for eTwinning projects are Titanpad, Padlet, Thinglink, wikis, answer-graden, sharing docs with google drive,...

To develop one of my project topics, my city and my country, I'm going to use my favourite collaborative tool that is Padlet. Pupils are going to exchange and learn about different cities and countries involved in the project.

We are going to divide our pupils in groups of four or five members and each group will share a padlet with groups from other countries. They can write information, paste photos and videos, ask questions, ... They will have to complete this information asking the other members and searching on the internet.

The main objectives of this activity are:

To learn about the other members involved in the project.

To share and collaborate with their new friends.

To improve their ICT skills.

To practice their English

At the end of the activity each group will have a padlet with all the information about their cities/countries and they will compare it with the other padlets to see if they have completed the task properly. They will complete their progress journal or self-evaluation.

Teacher will check if they have completed all the steps of the activity, vocabulary and structures used, collaboration, and will evaluate the activity.

This is one of the padlets that pupils will share:

The following padlet is a an example of collaboration. In this case pupils posted about their pets.
