I am the Headteacher at Lent Rise Combined School, a large primary school near to Slough, Berkshire. Our school has been actively involved in eTwinning since the beginning, and now every class is eTwinned with another country. We are a good practice case study for Wider Community Cohesion for the Department for Children Schools and Families, and therefore can talk with some conviction on how Internationalism can support standards.

I work at a primary pupil referral unit, with a maximum of 6 pupils on any one day. At first we felt a bit dubious that we could sustain a link with a partner school, but we managed so well last year that we are doing another project with the same school this year, and linking with two more partners on the same project, one of whom I found during my visit to the Estonia PDW. Also, out of that workshop came another link with an Estonian teacher, and we are going to work on a separate project with the youngest children.

I am a Teacher of Computing and ICT at Shawlands Academy, a large multi-ethnic secondary school on the south side of Glasgow, Scotland.  I am currently running an etwinning project with an ICT class (age 12-13), and we have twinned with College Lafayette, Brioude, France.  The project “Culture in a Box” delivers the ICT curriculum as students share information about their cultures & lifestyles while developing their French language skills.  Other departments in the school are likely to be embarking on e-twinning projects in the coming session.

I retrained for Primary in 2004 after ten years in Secondary MFL. I share a whole KS2 class with the Headteacher in a tiny Primary school. We introduced French in 2004 and we also have 'taster' half-term units in the summer, so far in German and Spanish. We have worked with two French schools in the conventional sense - exchanging materials via 'snail mail'. eTwinning is probably going to be the way forward for us though - it is much more immediate.

I am a headteacher of a large Primary school in Ipswich, Suffolk. I am also a Learning Together Ambassador promoting eTwinning and Comenius Projects in the Eastern Region. We have been eTwinning at our school for over 2 year and are about to start a Comenius Project. I personally feel that the benefits of European partnerships are that the whole school community can gain a real understanding of other countries traditions, cultures and customs while enhancing their skills within ICT. If you need any help – get in contact!

I am currently teaching in a small-ish primary school just outside York where our two eTwinning projects are well under way! As MFL coordinator for our cluster of schools, I have promoted eTwinning as a way for children to learn new languages and all about new cultures (as well as learning new things about their own!). As of April 2008, I will be taking on a new role as Primary Consultant in English for North Yorkshire LA. In this role, I hope to encourage schools to use eTwinning as a way to make learning real and fun and as a tool for developing children's communication skills through the variety of methods technology affords us. eTwinning is an excellent way to show children how language and literature grow out of the cultures we live in - if anyone needs a hand with setting up projects, etc, then let me know!

Support: Happy to give any support to anyone re ideas for projects, a case study of our successful projects.

I have been involved in etwinning for 3 years with our partner school in Malaga Spain. Our latest project, ‘A Bridge for Peace’ included joint curricular work in art, music, literacy and technology. We created a website to receive our messages and we also use a blog for the children to communicate with each other.

The highlight of the partnership is the annual visit with our Year 6 children to their partners in the Malaga school. We take part in joint curriculum and cultural activities. The collaborative study of Picasso – his life and works – produces some high quality art work and the children’s foreign language skills are greatly enhanced by the etwinning experience
