Presentation of the project to School Staff and School Board

Presentation of the project "Discover and share your identity mark" to School Staff and School Board. We have shared a PowerPoint with all of them. An approach to the project. What the project is about. The reason of presenting it is as it is and to pay homage to it what better than a project about it?

We have also explained to them the objectives of it and an introduction of our partners: Katerini School, Katerini town and above all, the students who participate in it. We have encouraged them to visit and work together in our blog eTwinning and Instagram.

We have made them participants in our short-term joint staff training event and animate them to take part in the second -term joint staff meeting when Katerini teachers visit us.

We have looked through the project schedule and the tasks designed by the Pedagogical team.
Students exchange has also been discussed and to finish, the project dissemination by Galdakao town hall.

Back to Elexalde

How has our back to IES Elexalde been after our first short-term staff event?
Well, quite productive and unforgetable.
We have set up agreements with Katerini school teachers and we have examined the project, assessment and tasks in detail, assigning responsabilities.

The training about eTwinning and flipped classroom was very interesting to be incorporated to the project.

And let's not forget the warm welcome from Katerini school, Staff board and students. We are looking forward to welcome them, arms wide open.

How has the week been? Busy preparing the presentation of the project to I.E.S Elexalde for School staff and School board.

We have prepared a powerpoint explaining the reason of the project, the objectives, participants, partners'city and school, eTwinning School staff training, project development, the schedule and dissemination by town hall.

I will uplod them in eTwinning to be consulted by anyone interested.
What wil wel do next week?

Fifth day short-term joint staff training event

Our last day of training. We are sad we have to leave Katerini school and say goodbye to our hosts, all the school teachers who have warmly welcomed us. The headmaster has thanked us for all and we have also thanked him for his good reception.


We have organised the logo competition and decided the logo which will represent both schools. The logo which has been chosen has been Elexalde logo.


Then in the afternoon a quick visit to Thessaloniki, the capital of Macedonia region where Alejandro the Great and the great teacher Aristóteles wandered along their streets.


Our students will love it when they visit it, full of culture and visited by different villages.

We will say see you later to Katerini and Greece because our next visit will be next year when we  visit it with our students.

Fourth day short-term joint staff training event

Back down to work. We have gathered to finish with the eTwinning training related to the invitation of students in the platform and we have been trained in the use of flipped classroom methodology.

We have agreed the flipped classroom could be used by students to look at the videos produced by both schools at home or other kind if material.

In the last part of the training, we have looked at all the activities in detail and how to organise them and we have agreed the school which will be in charged of each one.

We have also looked through the schedule of the project, considering the chance of re-plan again if necessary.
