Every activity we do in our project is quite remarkable. But our City brochures, traditional cookbooks and our collaborative work, the eTwinning day acrostis poem, is our storybook ''Digitintin on the road''. The eTwinning day event was really impressive because we created our poem by connecting online with mixed groups of 4 or 6 students. Our story book, ‘’Digitintin on the road’’ was an activity that each of our students contributed to. Our students used different web2 tools in each of our projects, so they benefited greatly from technology. Before I started my studies, my students were presented and informed about these web2 tools, sometimes in our school and sometimes via zoom. When they had a problem, they were contacted via whatsapp. Also, our students mostly used masks while doing their studies.
