Other comments (1/3) Everything is useful Hope with the coming platform changes the layout of the groups will improve as
well. I don't like it as it is now. I always find myself chatting about the group's topics with other teachers on different socials which are easier to access and navigate. I wish this year to have more free time to work to this group. Irene is amazing, always there to help Congratulations for this great group and happy summer holidays! We all can find very useful and helpful ideas !!!!! Please I need more information about how to work with you. Sorry for not doing this school year. I want to do it for the next school year. I intend to be more active!! Congratulations for all the job! I think the coordinator of this group is SUPER. She is the most hardworking coordinator I've ever met. I loved how pro-active you are! Keep up the good work, I hope I will be able to participate more next year. Enjoy your holidays,
Other comments (2/3) I am so glad that I participate in this group!!! I'd like to thank the administrator and all those involved in the Creative Classroom for the
excellent job they do. This group is very interesting for us because all the documents created was useful for teaching and learning Thanks to Irene for all the things she has proposed, maybe webinars can be used also by the monthly teachers and if possible not to let the activities coincide with family holidays and assessment periods at the end of terms. That is why sometimes it was difficult for me to participate. It was wonderful to collaborate with the people from Creative Group. I think that this group is working very well and that it is very well managed! Congrats to Irene, she has made a great job! I congratulate you for all your work and efforts to make everything happen. Thank you for all the good work and for sharing it with us Excellent and busy group I think that the group should go on because we have learnt useful and interesting things. It is also very helpful for the teachers community Sometimes we don't have enough time to do the activities. just that you guys are doing an amazing job
Other comments (3/3) Everything that is organized by this group is excellent!!! I wish I could be more active All the activities organized have been quite imaginary and I feel very sad that I have not
contributed as much as I would like to Thank You for Teaching me! I would suggest e-Twinning registration for each teacher. It is a very good way to enhance cooperation and exchange of ideas! Thank you Irene for all you did for the group! I wanna thank all those making huge contributions to make this group possible. Thanks for your kind contributions to our World of teachers. Thank you to those who give their time and energy for this! My congratulations to Irene for her stimulating attitude, despite of not having been very active in the group I really appreciated how Irene has encouraged us to participate on it. Congratulations Irene for you great work! How could we manage that our work in Creative classroom group or our eTwinning projects could be recognized as training hours for our Education Department? The platform sometimes seems difficult to handle and time consuming Thanks to all the people who contribute in the group and for a very collaborative moderator! Thank you very much for the great expert topics & nice ideas, good experience shared on the platform of Creative Classroom Group!
