I had a WONDERFUL time in Malta. I’m glad I got to know my eTwinning partner from Malta – Abigail Pearson and other participants of contact seminar.
We had the opportunity to exchange experiences, learn more about individual and school preferences. Presentations by Mr. R. J. Camilleri and Dr. P. Bonanno confirmed to me that I’m making a good step in the direction of eTwinning. Teamwork helped to integrate into the community and feel welcome.

This seminar differed from other seminars as it presented us the opportunity to interact with educators from foreign countries some of whom are currently participating in eTwinning projects, while others were here to learn about eTwinning.
The Secondary School Certificate and Profile is a certificate at Level 1 that will be replacing the School Leaving Certificate. Its philosophy is to accredit all learning that happens in the life of a student during the years of secondary education, both inside and outside the school premises. It validates and documents all learning in order to give a holistic picture of the individual student and shows the development that has occurred during the years.
Songsmith isn’t just for music class. It’s is a great way to inject creative learning into any subject. Whether you’re looking for a fun way to help your students memorize multiplication tables or need to bring a history lesson to life, Songsmith can help you use music to encourage learning.
No experience creating music? No problem. Songsmith makes it easy. It’s perfect for every subject; from special class projects to foreign language assignments.

The eTwinning Contact Seminar held in Malta was very interesting! Meeting up other educators is an unforgettable exprience. One learns from each other and seminars as the one being held in Malta are ideal in order to meet up prospective partners with whom one could register a project . Twinspace was thoroughly explained and help was provided when required. Hope that these Contact Seminars will be held again in the near future as it is always a pleasure being part of this collaborative experience!
