This dynamic, interactive course covers project based-learning design, educational project management, and the eTwinning platform. Students will select projects, partner with European pre-service teachers at their Initial Teacher Education (ITE) institutions, complete intercultural projects, and present their results.
eTwinning is an Erasmus+ funded platform with over 219,000 schools and 945,000 teachers throughout Europe. Teachers and teachers in training (pre-service teachers, future teachers) partner across Europe for international and national projects for students and pupils at all levels. These projects are run online through TwinSpace, eTwinning’s learning platform. An important eTwinning Program is eTwinning for Future Teachers, open to ITE Institutions. The Professional School of Education Stuttgart Ludwigsburg is an ITE Institution (formerly known as Teacher Training Institutions (TTI).
The course is via Moodle and limited to 15 M.Ed. Lehramt students from Stuttgart University, 15 from PH-Ludwigsburg, 6 from Hohenheim University and 2 each from the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst and the Akademie der Bildenden Künste. This seminar is fully creditable for your respective course of studies.
The course is sponsored by the Professional School of Education’s LehrerbildungPLUS project from the English project team.
You’ll meet and work with other future teacher students from different countries online, developing and implementing meaningful projects to enhance your own and others’ intercultural awareness, knowledge and skills in this fun and challenging course. By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills to implement eTwinning projects in your future teaching career to raise students’ Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) and digital literacy.
