● to be able to keep in touch and train more people

● to involve teachers in using new technologies

● to make a face-to-face meeting more effective by holding online seminars for follow-up activities

Why webinars?

● to offer more opportunities to eTwinners

● to give a follow-up to the workshop and the best practice presented in Catania 2013

Our proposal: starting from different experiences, involving YOU in discussions and brainstorming...

Aims: to identify together advices, tips and rules which can be useful for those who would use webinars to train new eTwinners and/or to stimulate inactive eTwinners

Identification of the audience of our webinars:

● Very beginners: is important to offer training on eTwinning platform, examples of best practices, in order to help new users and prevent inactivity.

● Already registered: a further step is offering training on TwinSpace and/or free collaborative tools available on the webhttp://new-twinspace.etwinning.net/web/p104481

Planning/promoting webinars: our tips!• Think about your audience before designing your training• According to the numbers, you can manage your audience in

different ways • Even the most experienced moderator should not and cannot

work alone and good collaboration between moderators is a key point

• Ask your NSS in order to know more about available licences• Make it simple and easy, don’t scare your audience• Use an online form and ask your NSS, for them your data are

very important

During/after webinars: our tips!• Be relaxed and create a relaxing atmosphere• Moderators’ flexibility and availability are important to

maintain the audience attention high• The audience should have an active part in the seminar• You and your audience will face some problems, be prepared• Ask for a feedback to your audience, it will help you in the

future• Do not leave your audience alone, the webinar should be

only a start!

What do you think you can do in order to keep in touch with the partecipants after an online webinar?
