How accurate is my eTwinning profile?

Rubric for self-evaluation

1. IMAGE

The image we choose gives information about us. In eTwinning, as in many other social

networks, profiles which include an image get more hits and interactions than those

which don’t.

None: There’s no image.

Fair: There’s an image, but I’m not recognizable or it does not deliver any information

about me.

Good: There’s a personal image –edited or not- which allows recognizing me, or I’m

using a personalized avatar.

Excellent: There’s a personal image –edited or not- which allows recognizing me, or

I’m using a personalized avatar. In any case, the main image or other images in

my gallery suggest some ideas about my personal profile.

2. BOARD

This is the space for direct interaction with other eTwinners. Here we display up-to-

date information: comments or recommendations about other eTwinning activities,

suggestions for projects, interesting resources…

None: There are no posts.

Fair: There are posts, but they are vague, with no specific information.

Good: Posts give specific, useful information. It may allow other eTwinners to know

better about me.

Excellent: Posts give specific, useful information. It may allow other eTwinners to

know better about me. They are specially useful for any teacher with a profile

or interests similar to mine. They invite to interaction and comments on my

board.

3. ABOUT…

We describe here our professional profile, our interests and main work lines. Even if it

can be edited, the information delivered is supposed to be estable in the short term.

We should include key words which allow us to be searched. It is convenient to use all

languages we want to use to communicate with other eTwinners.

None: There is no description.

Fair: There is a description, but it does not deliver much specific information about my

professional preferences and profile.

Good: In my description, I include some basic professional details, like subjects I teach

or the age of my students.

Excellent: Besides some basic details, I add key ideas about possible projects and work

lines. I use more than one language.

4. PROJECT IDEA

Do we already have any idea on what we want for our next project? This is the place to make it public. Even if it is a general, not detailed idea, we should avoid being too vague. We can give hints on various aspects of the project; theme, subjects, methodology, age of students, kits we’d like to use... Remember to keep it updated according to our preferences at any moment. It is convenient to publish it in all languages we want to use in our project.

None: There is no description.

Fair: There is a description, but it is too vague and gives little specific information on

the kind of project I’d like to work in.

Good: There is a description which includes some basic details, like age, subjects,

duration...

Excellent: Besides these basic details, I mention main objectives, the methodologies I

wish to explore, or I refer to other similar projects.

5. AVAILABILITIES

Have a look at you status in “Available for an eTwinning project” and “Available for an

eTwinning Plus project”. Do they reflect your real preferences? Remember that if you

tag yourself as “not available” you will be invisible for search engines and contact lists

when other eTwinners are looking for partners.

None: Mmmm... no, I haven’t checked, but I’m a bit too busy now. I’ll do it later.

Fair: I still haven’t got a clear idea on one/any of the options. In the meanwhile, I keep

it/them marked as “no”.

Good: I still haven’t got a clear idea on one/any of the options. In the meanwhile, I

keep it/them marked as “yes”, so I’m open to be contacted. Who knows,

maybe someone will come with an appealing proposal.

Excellent: I have checked both status and they reflect my current wishes regarding

participating or not in eTwinning or eTwinning Plus projects.
