We ended our project after one and a half year cooperation. It was a great experience and the effects are impressive. We invite you to use gathered materials.
This blog will be still opened for new materials: Internet tools appearing every day and another places of Europe, which we will see in the future. If somebody would like to add some pictures or a tool, feel free to do it. Write us: bibliotekabol@wp.pl
Our project is an example of wide-ranging use of computer, internet and informatic tools for different interactive student tasks. It is also the result of cooperation and the exchange of experiences between teachers in terms of effective using of Web 2.0 tools in education.
Multilingual webpage, including wide range of free programmes and Web 2.0 tools helpful in teaching, can be a base for teachers from all the world for upcoming years. As new tools will appear, we will be updating our blogs.
We hope that showed by us european attractions will become an inspiration to arrange interesting school trips, unforgetable family holidays and active weekends full of memories. "Experiment" shows, in a form of an animation, changes in our cities through passing months. Everything is documented with the eye of a camera lense.

5.03.2012 - February summary
In February we changed our blog. Now it looks a lot better. Ivana worked really hard and transfered much materials on TwinSpace. We'd like to thank her very much. Now it'll be maybe easier to involve in the project for all the participants. We'd like to entreat you to activity.
In march we show another parts of Europe, above all those friendly to children. We'll try to create folders of those places - in english and your native language as well. We have time for this until the end of March.
I also have another idea for everyone keen. Next week there will appear a comic on our blog. Together we'll travel across the Europe and search for THE BOOK OF WISDOM. It connects with the title of our project. Details will be revealed soon.
6.02.2012 – January summary.
We'd like to warmly welcome new participants from Turkey and Portugal. Surely we will cooperate succesfully.
We'll start our "experiment". Students will photograph one, chosen by them, place at the beginning of every month until the end of the project. From every photo everyone will afterwards create an animation which will present changes time caused in this place.
We discovered other interesting places in Europe and new tools.
In February we present another parts of Europe, mainly friendly for children. Let's try to create folders of those places - in english and your native language as well. We have time for this until the end of March.
8.01.2012 – December’s summary.
Our blog grows rapidly. We are presenting 30 interesting places in Europe, which we have visited and also 56 programmes and Internet tools, which we discovered and now we are using. I hope that every participant will soon join us and it will all get even more interesting.
In January we continue our tasks from December. We show interesting places to visit during weekends and we end our contest for the best Christmas card. Soon we will start the voting and appoint winners.
5.12.2011 November ended.
Please, groups that didn't do that - add missing materials. Try to do this in December. All of us should actually end introducing their schools and cities, presenting their capital cities and at least one place for vacation. The group from Slovenia is doing very well. Congratulations on interesting materials.
Our tasks for December. We'll show each other interesting places to visit during weekends and also carry out a Christmas card contest. The contest will last until the end of December. On TwinSpace we will create a new section and all of us will upload cards created by children there. They can be made in any way, but have to include regional or national elements. With the beginning of January we will set a voting and choose the winners.
We can also try to animate paintings made by children for example in Microsoft Paint. It can be easily made in a special programme for animating. Examples of such programmes are in our tools.
1.11.2011 First month of our project has passed.
As we have scheduled, in October we introduced ourselves, our schools and cities. I’d like to send big thanks to every group which already did it. I think that other will also do it in the nearest future.
In November we will recall holidays and introduce capital cities of our countries. Each group will present 2-3 places worth visiting during holidays. We can do it on TwinSpace and on the common blog.
Ivana with pupils is doing very well with her national blog: http://travel-broadens-sl.blogspot.com/. It would be great if all of us followed her example. Obviously we can add our own ideas, we’d love to benefit from them.
If you want to, you can also write about your work in the project and entirely about your schools on TwinBlog and a particular section of our mutual blog: What’s going on in our schools? We’ll know each other better and also children will make new contacts. I warmly invite you. Teresa
