#edchatie A teacher doesn't have to be highly tech savvy to eTwin either..use tools you're comfortable with & learn about more with partners

johndhodonoghue Sep 25 @ 3:56 PM EDT

John,RSC & TCD.Has anyone tried #eTwinning for Science subjects? seems it could be good for projects like @BTYSTE & @SciFest4STEM #edchatie
