Teachers' presentations



So teenagers don't read anymore? Or is it that reading has mutated because of the digital era with the multimedia and the hypertext? Secondary School librarians and a primary teacher took up the challenge to motivate their pupils with a wide range of digital tools, arts and crafts, and the etwinning experience of making friends by computer. "Active hands, active minds" was our moto, and the story of El Lector our influence. The result was three months of library magic, where pupils entered famous paintings on Reading, saw their drawings come to life and where the Polish Romeo courts the Greek Juliet in the Balcony Scene.
 In the workshop "Encouraging the students to read-an etwinning experience", Chrysanthea Papakonstandinou (Cyprus) talked  about integrating the project into primary school curriculum, Aneta Szadziewska (Poland) catered the creative part of Bookraft and Helen Karavanidou (Greece) spoke about the collaborative aspect of the project.
Here are the presentations:

  2. The 4 days in Budapest were pretty nice. We did lots of things, but the most important is that we met new people. I loved the trailer lab, we had lots of fun making ours... I'm glad I had the chance to do this. Foteini

  6. Few are lucky enough to experience what we did in Budapest! I ment new people, got new skills from the workshops, and I say how a real teacher should work! All the etwinning staff was excellent and the teachers were awesome! Meeting and exchanging ideas was certainly something to remember! Natalie

  7. Our stay in Budapest was simply dreamy! I still can't believe I was there! I learnt how to make a trailer and how to collaborate. I used my English, too! I particularly liked everything mr Tim Rylands showed us and I still remember Lazaros dansing - it was a funny step, but he managed! Adriana

  16. It was a great opportunity to meet our friends from Poland and Cyprus. We had fun and lots of laughs, especially with the Polish team, although all the kids were brilliant. We had a great time in the presentations and the conference and I particularly liked making the trailer. Ioanna Roussi
