Why take time with TwinSpace?

• For project participants and administrators:

– easier to coordinate and contribute to the project if clear organization.

• For people outside the project:

– parents, headmasters, press, evaluators (prizes and Quality

Labels).

• A well organized Twinspace provides a better reflection of the work done during the project!

Public or Private?

Think carefully about which pages to make public. • Public? Project documentation, project outcomes, evidence for parents,

colleagues, local press…

• Private? Pupil’s images, videos, messages, private info.

Consider in particular: • Your pupils’ safety

• Your school policy

• Your partner’s expectations and school policy

• The project’s communication plan & dissemination needs

• External evaluation

Public or Private?

• The project journal in the TS home is always public and it’s meant for external communication! How are you going to use it? Who is going to updated it?

• For communication among teachers, you can use the teachers’ bulletin – it’s only visible to teachers!

• If you spice up your project with eTwinning Live meetings, remember to document with pictures, videos, report…

• Even if you use external platforms, leave a trace of what you are doing in the TS, this is the only way the community can know what you are doing!
