I originally trained as a secondary MFL teacher, but now teach ICT. As well as eTwinning, I am also an Advanced Skills Teacher and a e-mentor on elanguages. My main focus is finding ways to bring the real world into the classroom using effective ICT.  I also regularly use flashmeeting to enable students and teachers to share their ideas on a wide variety of issues. Also free resources are available on my website.

I am the Headteacher of a medium sized primary and nursery school in Southend on Sea in sunny Essex. My school is actively developing the International Dimension of the curriculum and has formed links with schools in a variety of ways. Currently we have links with China, India, France and Norway. The latter two links have been formed and enhanced through the use of eTwinning. Most of our linking work is via email or through the “Twinspace”.

I am the Deputy Head of a large secondary Special School in Hertfordhire and a fervent advocate of the benefits of ICT in helping teachers teach and pupils learn. The opportunities that European Links offer pupils in term of real-life learning through ICT are amazing. My School has been involved in a number of successful European and International Projects and were awarded the eTwinning Quality Mark as well as being runners up in this year’s Annual eTwinning Awards.  I am currently one of 25 teachers across the UK appointed by the British Council as ‘Learning Together Ambassadors’ to promote eTwinning and Comenius Projects.

I also coordinate and support the use of the flashmeeting video conferencing tool for eTwinning school partnerships.

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 years 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.

I have been involved in a range of international project for over 20 years now. I am committed to simple but effective projects, which celebrate the similarities and differences between communities. Having been part of many Comenius projects, I am delighted to advocate eTwinning to colleagues, as it is offers a strong framework for projects. I was fortunate to gain a UK eTwinning Award in my previous school for ‘The Red Balloon’, which brought together schools in 11 countries. At Burnham Market, we have developed three projects with schools in Sweden and Spain. I am happy to share my experience.
