Our schools

Our students worked in five mixed groups on Edmodo. They were assigned to groups by the teacher. In each group there were children from both countries. Then, they started to chat with each others in order to get the answer to the questions that teachers wrote in their groups. 

Spanish students had to write down the Polish answers, and Polish students, the Spanish ones.

If the answer was correct, (the spelling and grammar) they wrote the answer in a shared document.
You can read the document with the results here.

Prepositions song

'We will finally  see them!', These were the words of one of our students, who has participated in our first videoconference.

Today, our students were very excited about the vision of meeting their peers from abroad, therefore, they were preparing for this event with great motivation. They were doing this not only during the English lessons, but also training at home, by using Edmodo, our virtual learning enviroment.

The videoconference was a summary of the first Unit of a joint English syllabus.  Students had  the opportunity to test their language skills on live, and thus, they had to get in touch with foreign colleagues, respond to the teachers’ questions and sing a song about prepositions of place together.
Students from Poland, taught their colleagues from Spain that the refrain of the song can be shown by hands, which makes prepositions of place easy to remember.

Welcome to DTO

On Tuesday, 16th September 2014, our students started the project.

The first activity they did was to meet themselves by Edmodo, the educative social network, that we use in the project.

This way, students from both countries joined the DTO Edmodo Class and introduced themselves. At the same time, they started to chat between them and comment their posts.
