eTwinning Songs in the Back to Group Campaign 2013

Creative Classroom Group Presents: “Let’s make a song for eTwinning, using a known melody” Part of the Back to group Campaign 2013

Decemeber 2013

Introduction: The last two years, Creative Classroom Group organizes the “back to group Campaign�, a campaign with different creative and funny activities for the members of the group! These activities, as all the proposed activities, have as main aim to offer to teachers ideas that they can then implement them in their classroom with their students and with their partners in their eTwinning projects.

This year, teachers were asked to take a known song and put their own lyrics describing eTwinning! The best songs would receive as prize eTwinning goodies. The result was really great as you can see below and in the video with the 3 winners: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yrlujOAlgU&feature=youtu.be So, enjoy our songs and why not? Create your own songs with your students and partners for your projects!!!

2. John Lenon : “Imagine” Natia Shevardenidze, Georgia

Imagine there’s one place Where all the teachers meet Without seeing each others’ face Think together how to teach Imagine all the teachers meeting their students needs

Imagine lots of sources So helpful and creative too You don’t need any funds or forces To reach them, believe it’s true Imagine all the teachers sharing everything they do…

And I think it’s It’s Etweening, and I’m not the only one I hope all the teachers will join us And the world will be as one

Imagine teaching English With love and motivation too Life becomes more interesting and pleasant

By always trying new things to do Imagine all the teachers united in a creative group….

And I think it’s It’s ETwinning, and I’m not the only one I hope all the teachers will join us And the world will be as one

3. Nicoleta M. E-twinning is a place Where teachers get together They work on projects and Create many beautiful things

E-twinning means creation Using your imagination Working with other teachers And the students, too.

E-twinning is for you and me E-twinning is for everybody

E-twinning is for you and me

E-twinning is for everybody 4. Louis Armstrong - WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD Cristina Nicolaita, Romania

I see students happy and teachers too I see them learning with me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see stars of yellow and skies of blue They make the day for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of eTwinning so pretty and so nice Will bring us all together, so take this good advice Find your friends with a click, saying how do you do They're really saying: eTwinning, I love you.

I see students learning, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll never know And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Oh yeah, eTwinning!

How many learning events to complete So as to find some friends And how many projects you have to prepare In order to be part somewhere

In how many teachers’ rooms to participate and how many contacts to add on yes in how many groups your profile must to update

before you feel very strong

How many partners you have to find In which webinars to be involved and if you feel lost in your desktop and blind how can your problems to be solved.

how many tasks you have to prepare in order a project be complete and how many nights you must work to repair that in your schedule exist

the answer my friend it's easy to be seen etwinning gives the freedom which is needed
