Back to the 3
1. What is the relationship between eTwinning and Professional Development?
![Page 34: Etwin warsaw 1011_gilleran](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555501a9b4c9051a5b8b4bc5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

2. How do they influence each other?
![Page 39: Etwin warsaw 1011_gilleran](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555501a9b4c9051a5b8b4bc5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
eTwinning is seen as something that allows up-skilling in areas such as the use of ICT to support teaching, language learning, project management skills and other areas of personal development that can also be recognised as key competences for lifelong learning
![Page 40: Etwin warsaw 1011_gilleran](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555501a9b4c9051a5b8b4bc5/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
3. How can eTwinning contribute to professional development and visa versa?
![Page 41: Etwin warsaw 1011_gilleran](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555501a9b4c9051a5b8b4bc5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The kind of professional development a teacher participates in is more important than the amount of time invested. The net effects of days of professional development are small and only significant in a few countries, whereas indicators of participation in networks and mentoring (and in some countries also in workshops and/ or courses) have significant and stronger net associations with teaching practices in a majority of countries (TALIS, 2009: 117).

Final pointsIt is at initial teacher training level that the seeds of future classroom practice are sown
eTwinning is a grassroots activity
eTwinning does offer opportunities for a range of professional development experiences
