At the end of the whole project, students, teachers and parents will be asked to answer a few questions (Google Forms) in order to have a general feedback.Dissemination will be implemented through:- Creation of a website with general information and links to the students' e-portfolios.- Repository containing the resources created during the e-twinning project.

Conclusions

This project idea is just a draft designed during the MOOC "Open Etwinning" but I would like to see it come to life with the help of some of the course participants. I would appreciate your comments and advice.If you want to join me and my school colleagues in an e-twinning project next year, let me know. #twinpartner
