)schools of Europe have shared their ideas ... Later, the high school in France has reproduced the
works made for exposure of the "December 11" that took
really a great success!
Our Technical College "Petru Poni" of the city
Onesti, Romania was represented by me (Mariana Bendou)
and my colleague Professor Delia Nãdejde with our 15-17 years old students from different trade classes.Communication took place in French and
English on the Internet by email (yahoo mail,
hotmail, the Mail box of the project, the Forum project,
skipe, yahoo messenger). We used scanners, web camera,
software (Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office Power Point and
Microsoft Office Picture Manager, Paint, etc.) for videos,
photos and drawings. My students have achieved Romanian files
or photo albums. The work project was published online on blogs and sites.
The initial plan of the project (only one poster !) was later
enriched and diversified , for example by creating
new issues such as: "My City", "My school "," My country "”Our activities”.
We posted articles on the etwinning blog of
project to make them public and other environmental activities /
and education of participants too.
During the winter holidays season, we changed virtual greeting cards or other useful information .
My students have used the technology (ICT) in the project
for information or communicate with each other
learning more (or they learned they approached the
french words specific to the language of science :
file / dossier, upload / télécharger, post, add / ajouter, send / envoyer, email / mél, home / page d’accueil, inbox / boîte de reception, etc.). Our team of Oneşti, Romania, creates the records: "The poster / The poster / Afişul", "Petru Poni"
"Onesti" and "Romania / Romania / România" for to add
photos (mostly taken by these people) and drawings
/ posters of the project.
Teachers have also used the ICT (correspondence
on yahoo mail or hotmail or gmail and the mail box
project), messages in the forum and virtual diary, chat
skype or yahoo messenger, advertising the project
on their blogs or sites of schools, etc.).. They reported on
the internet not only in the project but also to change
views on their lives or their activities, their
families, their education, their methodologies
teaching, their students, etc.
The project was for everyone a
good reason to learn to work in team and
test their abilities and skills.
The project stared on 2008-11-07 and was closed on 19.05.2009.

The greatest quality of this project was the development of
interpersonal and communication
multilingvistic between students from various countries.The project was for everyone a
good reason to learn to work in team and
test their abilities and skills.
All members of the Romanian team from Onesti, made the original works
on sustainable development and the environment, they
made changes in their project proposals. The
Romanian members of the team etwinning had the opportunity to
demonstrate their acquired competents of computer or French, English, of
geography, ecology, conduct, art, etc.. They maded relations

The two Romanian professors of Onesti, Mariana Bendou (Dima) and Delia
Mihaela Nãdejde had the opportunity to share their experiences of

The whole Romanian team of Onesti has succeeded in this project, to make known
and acknowledged their high school (Technical College "Petru Poni", Onesti,
Romania) abroad, respectively, to other institutions
European school and discover, in turn, other sizes European education in schools ...
The steps that have been used to integrate the project in the
curriculum:
• deepen the partnership and teamwork,
understand their benefits
• acquire new knowledge (IT,
culture, science, civilization, etc..)
• develop and diversify pages on internet
• give / receive information about our college, our
activity, our city, ourselves (by “our profiles ");
• correspondence by mail or chat, diary, forums,
etc. to support the activities and perform them better.
• check the knowledge of French (for forums
mails, comments, etc.).
• check the various abilities and skills
classes (computer, languages, geography, ecology, drawing, conduct, etc.). • gain new life experience
• love his country and approach other European countries;
compare and to rank their values
• discover new ways of working or
learn
- connections / relationships , etc.

The approaches of the project with the European dimension:
• pay attention to world problems
sustainable development and the environment
• to share our culture, civilization, diversity in
others;
• open the eyes of Europeans by the potential
intellectual of our college;
• be recognized everywhere our know – to
do
• create a strong relation with other nationalities.

remark theirs values or their specific
• love our country but also approach other countries
Europeans, understand the unity in diversity of the European space
• understand the importance of the study of language
French as a common language of European countries and countries
French, etc..

What does it try to achieve and how:

The best result of the project was practicing (to exercise)
foreign language learning through
new technologies, see ICT through Twinnspace /
eTwinning.
But project participants have also learned open
to Europe and the world, comparing the practices
sustainable development, develop citizenship but also
imagination and creativity!
It should be noted the surprising
work and the originality of the works of the seriousness of
participants in the project despite the big difference / diversity of
age (from kindergarten to university) ! Students or
teachers had the opportunity to compare or to
share their lives and their schools; teachers
been pleased to make public (Internet) work
and abilities / skills. The project was a wonderful
experience, contributing to the increased prestige of
school facilities are involved. They related friendships and it was
already talked about the possibility of expanding joint activities
(a future Comenius project, for example!). We founded
news educational benefits of working online (exchanges,
feedback, motivation, etc.). Everyone has learned to post
images on articles, add other documentation, create
files or photo albums, make small videos or more
and, most importantly, we used the French language to
communicate or work, we applied the principle of
plurilingualism ... So, the Romanian team of Onesti, Romania,
had the opportunity to prove their skills or computer
language.

Which opportunities/problems does it address to:

The project was recognized by the directors of our college and
by other teaching colleagues or heds who have taken their
moral support for this project and allowed us access to
firm or other firms or laboratories, with our students as appropriate.
It should be noted the excellent
collaboration between two Romanian professors of Onesti (Romania) Mariana Bendou (Dima) and Delia Nãdejde who made a very good team
together. These two professors were able to give
duties and similar tasks to students and to assess /
compare the results. They gave awards to their
students (good grades, diplomas, etc.) more involved in the
project for to motivate their work and they have been known to do
on the internet ... The project could become a Comenius multilateral
because it opens up many possibilities for joint work and
thanks to the broad interest of students and teachers (16
schools participating in the project and...and only 16 women teachers!).
The French high school (24.02.2009), an other Romanian school participant (01.02.2009) and a Bulgarian School (22.05.2009)were already rewarded with Etwinning Quality Label for this project!

Please explain what is unique or special in your project:

this is a new project
Etwinning largely held fast(The project stared on 2008-11-07 and was closed on 19.05.2009.)All 16 teachers participants were women!The project was designed for a month but had expanded more due to broad interest of the participants!
Each school has one or more
posters, drawings or photographs and posted on virtual space
of Etwinning project. For this project, we tried to attract attention the whole world
on problems of sustainable development and the environment
of the planet. The creativity of our students
expressed their ideas / oppininons, by the choice of subjects
for diversity and originality of the posters / drawings
made by themselves. The posters were made in
various drawing / peinting techniques and using materials
different, that's why I added below each
piece of work how it was done (by colored chalk, pencils
colors, markers, etc.).
The initial plan of the project (only one poster !) was later
enriched and diversified , for example by creating
new issues such as: "My City", "My school "," My country "”Our activities”.
We posted articles on the etwinning blog of
project to make them public and other environmental activities /
and education of participants too.
During the winter holidays season, we changed virtual greeting cards or other useful information .
