Poll shows enthusiasm for eTwinning Plus!

During the first two months of eTwinning Plus, we surveyed more than 2,000 eTwinning teachers to find out how much interest there is in working with eTwinning Plus.We also wanted to find out about the previous experience of the new eTwinning Plus teachers and which countries they would be interested in working with. The results have shown an encouraging start for eTwinning Plus - the desire to find partners is very evident in both directions.

What social implications might this bring about? Is it an accepted art form? What do our students think about this expressive art?
