Kind Is Better eTwinning Project

An example of curriculum integration in this project can be represented by the activity on the pandemic . Before I involved my students into the conceptual common maps and next into the creation of the related video, during a video conference I asked them what did they feel in that situation due the Covid19. They put their thoughts on a page of our virtual class of Schoology.  Next I propose them on a videolesson I registered the listening of the poem on pandemic created by a famos Italian writer R. Piumini (at minute 7:30) So I assigned a task to my students: to create a collaborative nursery rhyme on Google Document that I shared with them always on our virtual class: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NoVuZqgK7O6JS-olfWKLFfsm50RPUNdrjNA7tApkFYU/edit?usp=sharing We finally completed the work on StoryJumper (the web tool they have already used in "Kind is better" project) with the nursery rhyme they created, their drawings and their

One of the most positives is the large use of web tools linked to the effective students involvement in all the process phases of the work. The first was the designing phase through discussion, proposals, groups assignment Here is one of the funniest and favourite activity was the Students Survey with Plickers: Peer to peer and cooperative learning were two of the innovative strategies used in the project.  This is our cooperative storytale created by teams from each Country with StoryJumper. Read this book made on StoryJumper

This really represented  a tutoring activity, because Italian students shared coreography on a video-tutorial created with the involvement of the 2nd class A of the school.  The partners met via eTwinning online event and dance together

Our project got an effective involvement of parents.  Starting from the initial and final survey... https://forms.gle/ZgSmdHRnKrpNLust5 Following to the second studio about behaviors at home and in the third one about behaviors at Pandemic. They both viewed our students' parents as protagonists together with their children. This aspect is more evident by the fact that the videos were also shot during the pandemic. Here is Italian students video for Jordanian students (behaviors at home): Here is Italian students video for Turkish students (behaviors in Pandemic):

"Kind is better" eTwinning project was developed by three Countries: Turkey, Italy and Jordan (France didn't continue). At the start of the project students introduced their school and knew their partners' Country through an interactive map.

PROJECT LOGO CREATION All the students of the three Countries were involved in the creation of the project logo. They worked in group to define it using digital tools. Each partner proposed its own logo. Next students selected one of them by voting on the project twinspace.

About the project When children begin to interact with their environment, they sometimes exhibit undesirable behaviors. Our goal in the project is to enable and encourage students to put themselves in others' shoes, both human beings and living beings, gaining greater awareness about the importance of proper behaviors.

They carry out their assigned tasks independently and collaboratively, demonstrating their sense of responsibility. They express emotions while respect those of the others through creative writing, storytelling, drama, games, drawing... Students reflect on their behaviors with friends, teachers and family members. They show respect for living beings and the environment around the
