Os presentamos el proyecto ‘Are you ready to live in the 21st century?’ Proyecto premiado en los premios nacionales eTwinning 2016 en la categoría de edad 4-11.

El trabajo en eTwinning se integra en en el currículo de cada uno de los centros participantes para desarrollar competencias transversales como la digital, la social y la ciudadana. Se trabajan todas las disciplinas involucradas en el proyecto desde un enfoque metodológico CLIL. Los estudiantes han intervenido activamente durante el desarrollo del proyecto, comunicando por videoconferencia con distintos objetivos, como recopilar datos y comparar con los de sus socios, realizar valoraciones, encuestas en línea y finalmente evaluando el proyecto. También se ha dado un espacio a la participación de las familias, votando en concurso de canciones o de logos.
