The role of the Pedagogical Advisory Group is to analyse, reflect and comment on the eTwinning activities and develop a theoretical framework for the eTwinning action.

This series will include initially three booklets. The first booklet which is made up of the papers titled ‘Collaboration and eTwinning’ and ‘Enrichment and added-value of eTwinning projects’ is already available. The second booklet will be available in October and is titled ‘Pedagogical issues in eTwinning’, while the third will be published in 2007. Each book in this series is published in English. 

Collaboration in eTwinning and enrichment of eTwinning project
These papers form a reflective basis for eTwinning and underpin the benefits for teachers, pupils and parents when a school becomes involved in an eTwinning project.  The paper on collaboration examines the positive aspect of collaboration not only between schools but also within schools. It also includes a practical examination of such aspects of eTwinning as the potential for authentic learning, the use of Technology and the European Dimension. It highlights the necessity for collaboration to become a linchpin for a school’s pedagogical approach.

Pedagogical issues in eTwinning
This book assesses the challenges to schools involved in partnerships with other schools in Europe. It also examines pedagogical models which are worth considering in the context of eTwinning. This is the first time that a close examination of the potential of various pedagogical models in the context of European collaborative work has been undertaken and it form a useful basis for the analysis of school programmes.

Learning with eTwinning
More directed to schools and teachers, the eTwinning Central Support service has also produced an eTwinning book ‘Learning with eTwinning’ which is a review of the best project for the school year 2005/2006.

It contains descriptions of project results, products and methods elaborated by schools in eTwinning. It also contains models for collaboration to be copied by schools.

Descriptions are based on interviews with active teachers, students and other school staff. 38,000 copies were printed and were divided among the 20 languages. The book was sent to all eTwinning National Support Services for dissemination at the national level.

Professional Development and Cultural Understanding and Integration in an eTwinning context
The third and final booklet in the series entitled ‘Reflections on eTwinning’ focuses on the areas of Professional Development and Cultural Understanding and Integration in an eTwinning context.
