Tools for planning a project
It's really important to share some information and discuss and decide a few basic things before you start an eTwinning project. Together with you partner(s) you should agree on
* project goals
* pedagogical contents
* the tools you'll use
* the timetable
Often this is done by sending a lot of emails back and forth. A more effective way is to create a project calendar and a common workspace for making plans together.
Very good tools for this would be Google Calendar and Google Docs. Both you can share with a partner and also publish in the net. They're very easy (and free) to create and use.
Google Docs is a great collaborative tool also for learning.
Activities - 15th - 18th of April
Now you have a bit longer time for these activities. You should work together/collaboratively with your work group. Watch the videos and presentations on the right for instructions. Remember that when you follow the instructions from YouTube video, you can click Pause, do the things instructed and then go on.
1. Create your own Google account in Google.com. Click Sign in link in the top right hand corner. Then click Create an account.
2. Create your own Google homepage with your favourite web 2.0 links. Click iGoogle link.
3. Create your own Google calendar for your future project. Add there e.g. school holidays. Publish it. Click More in Google homepage and choose Calendar from the menu. Make your calendar public and get its URL by clicking the HTML logo. Add the calendar link on your blog (or embed it there if you wish, if you embed it make it 400x400 pix).
4. Create a project plan in Google docs and publish it. Do this together with you work group partner(s). The first on the list or the quickest invites the others to share the plan.
