VLARINA - An eTwinning project 2012-13 (Greece-Serbia-Italy)Vasiliki Papaioannou
The Students participating in this project had the opportunity to meet fellow mates from other European (Mediterranean) countries and communicate with them via e-mail or via instant messaging. They developed friendly relations with each other and shared details about their daily lives, traditions, cultures, perceptions, ideas, lifestyle.Establishing a common point of view of the past, students explored how the Mediterranean Sea is still the bridge between different cultures and religions.
All students developed their English language vocabulary and skills. They also developed their intercultural skills, exchanged ideas, gifts and postcards and also made use of a variety of resources in order to upload powerpoint presentations, documents, files and images about their countries on twinspace.
Last but not least students familiarised themselves with working in a virtual environment, identified and discussed the challenges they face living and working in them. The most important thing is that they made new friends and they gained insights from online school collaborations which will be valuable and worth remembering a life time.

The document evaluates how effective the combination of the main product (a trailer) and ancillary products (a film poster and magazine cover) are. It states that the three pieces are very effective because they all follow the same color scheme, font style, and genre (British crime drama), linking the pieces together. The narrative in the trailer also connects to the tagline on the poster. Ensuring the pieces attract the target audience by using conventions makes the work look more professional. The film magazine is the strongest piece as it uses many conventions like a medium shot of the main character looking at the audience to create a connection. Minor changes like the character's costume could improve the work further.

Telecollaboration in University Education: Opportunities for Internationalisi...Robert O'Dowd
This document discusses various models of telecollaboration that can be used in university education to internationalize classrooms and develop intercultural competence online. It describes several approaches including e-tandem exchanges between pairs of language learners, the Cultura model which involves students from different countries answering questionnaires and discussing responses, and the Soliya model where students engage in facilitated online dialogues on global issues.

The document provides information about a guidebook for a 2-year Connected with the Environment project between 5 European schools. Module 1 focused on history and culture, with students presenting their personal stories and learning about their city/region through tasks like creating family trees, interviewing teachers, and researching local legends. Students documented their work in posters, videos, and other formats. The guidebook aims to disseminate the results of the project and inspire other teachers and schools.
The project involves primary school students aged 7-11 collaboratively writing and illustrating stories. Students will form teams to write an original story, which they will then illustrate through a series of 5-10 drawings. These drawings will be shared electronically with partner schools in other countries, who will receive the drawings and write new stories based on the illustrations. The goals of the project are to develop students' language, creative thinking, and cultural understanding through international collaboration. Over the course of 3 months, students will iteratively exchange story illustrations, develop new stories in response, and ultimately compile their work into an e-book.
This project aims to increase students' English skills while learning about holidays and festivals in their local area and around the world. Students will work individually or in groups to research and collect information about cultural traditions, history, costumes, music, and more related to national and international holidays.

Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).

Dear Parents, Guardians and Caregivers of Year 5,
Reflection of previous Unit of Inquiry:
Thirsty! Our previous unit investigation looked at water as a limited natural resource under the theme of
Sharing the Planet. The students explored the different problems that some communities face when
trying to resource “clean” drinking water. Some also looked within their school community and found a
problem, the effect that it had and tried to find solutions towards fixing the problem.
New unit of inquiry
Our next Unit of Inquiry, falls under the Transdisciplinary theme of, “Where we are in Place and Time.”
We will be investigating cities and their slow and rapid change over a period of time. The students will
explore the reasons to move or leave a city, as well as how cities reinvent themselves through
buildings, culture and entertainment.
The Central idea is: Cities change over time
The children will inquire into:
● Cities around the world share certain characteristics
● People migrate between rural and urban areas for different reasons
● Cities evolve and are transformed over time
Students will discuss and select the Learner Profile and Attitudes that they feel best suit the inquiry.
During this investigation students will explore and expand their skills further in the following areas:
Social Skills: Planning and group decision making
Communication: Writing to inform and persuade
