Primary Pad 

Primary Pad gives you a free six month trial period to use. That’s enough time for an eTwinning project, don’t you think? It is a web-based word processor designed for schools that allows students and teachers to work together in real-time. Children from partner schools can arrange a common hour and they can work together on a topic. They can create articles for an online newspaper as they will have the chance to edit each other’s articles, they can play vocabulary games e.g. one gives a word and the others try to add synonyms, they can take interviews from each other or they can watch a common video and share their opinion there with their partners etc.

Net Support School

It is a real “tool” for the teacher, because through it you can:
-    show in real time, to your students the actions needed to perform a task
-    monitor the students’  screens and check their progress
-    help a  student to perform a task, controlling the movements of his/her mouse
-    communicate with students by instant messaging
-    use the painting board commonly with the whole class
-    create computer-based tests,  distribute it to the students’ computers and get immediate results of responses

These are briefly the most important functions of Net Support School. It is certainly a very useful and easy to use tool, but unfortunately it is not free and is quite expensive (it costs about 350 €).

Pedagogical value in eTwinning

Summarizing, we could It mainly facilitates the teacher during his/her lesson but also is regarded as an additional stimulus for learning
