  Impact of eTwinning network on students and teachers in Albania

Albania is in the fifth year of its participation in the eTwinning network.

From the very first steps of eTwinning projects, many teachers are part of this platform.

Albania has 2769 Projects, 3919 Teachers, 1237 Schools

On July 5th, in Durres city, the best projects developed on this platform were held by Albanian teachers.   

The best 62 projects were selected, of which the winners of this year came out.

One of the projects that was classified as a successful project is the project "Languages ​​and Cultures around the World" developed with several European teachers, where I was founded Julia Czerwik Szkoła Podstawowa im. Powstańców Śląskich Kamienicy Śląskiej Kamienica Śląska, Poland

Myrtollari Gift The Constitution of Liberty, Tirana, Albania, we had 16 other partners from different countries.

This project provided students with cognitive skills of various European cultures and festive traditions. Pupils promoted the culture of their areas and cities by creating different essays, presentations and questionnaires. A nice experience was learning a song from another country and singing in class from them. The students were delighted to hear that some languages ​​they had not heard before started reading and caring about them. This is a good opportunity to connect the knowledge acquired in different subjects such as geography, music, figurative art, IT history etc. They integrate knowledge with projects and this is a productive lesson.

Another wonderful experience this year was co-operation with several schools in the "Once Upon a Time, the West" project. The students worked in international teams and studied three Westerners.

- From a historical point of view, they learned about the historical elements that referred to the extract.- From the philosophical point of view, they will have to discuss the issues (3 Western) related to the notions of 'The Idea of Progress' 'Forms and Places of Power' 'Myths and Heroes'.

The particulars of this project were American students from Oklahoma who participated in the project.

Learners Like projects in the eTwinning network, this brings about improvements in their linguistic and digital competencies.

As eTwinning Albania's ambassador, along with other ambassadors, we have focused on encouraging Albanian teachers to register in this network and training on platform usage.

As a Scientix and Leader Teacher network ambassador for the European Week of Coding 2019, I have conducted some activities in other schools and rural areas where teachers were interested in how they would develop the course and create their own activities.

DHURATA MYRTOLLARI

TOPIC:

The integration of technology with methodology

MERITS:

Mrs.Myrtollari have been finalist and winner of the annual National Teacher Prize, organized by the Albanian Coalition for Education, the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth and with the support of the Varkey Foundation.

CONTRIBUTION:

We, teachers, can change the world by making it a better and more peaceful country.
Time is right now:
How to integrate students with different nationalities across our classes?
How do we understand the differences between countries, languages, cultures and customs brought to a class?
This is achieved by joining the teachers of different countries and learning from each other!
Albania is a country that has many economic and social problems. Albanian children are distributed in almost all European schools due to the emigration of their families.
Education in Albania still has a lot of work to achieve the right level of normal teaching conditions. Teaching should change, but to do this, the teaching mode should be changed by the teachers!

I want to speak in the forum for the professional development of teachers and the importance of ongoing training.

• We teach students to prepare for their lives after finishing school. But technology is changing work processes, it has changed and teaching.
• Are we really preparing them for the 2050s and beyond?

How can teachers benefit from the world's best education experiences, to learn about learning skills and approaches, attracting students attention, motivating and consolidating new knowledge;

Today's technology enables us to look far more than we have seen so far. I am an active teacher in European networks, eTwinning and Scientix. This has led me to develop in my profession and improve the quality of teaching.
I have been chosen Teacher of 2017 in Albania and I have been awarded some prizes in the field of innovation in teaching.
I want to disseminate my experience of using technology in teaching and continuing training that follows in MOOC Massive Open Online Courses and directly. Also I am a volunteer trainer for my country's teachers. I want to spread my experience of using technology in teaching.
 

EXPECTATIONS:

I want to be part of this forum to learn more from the experience of teachers from other countries and bring it to my country. I expect to learn many new things!
