We will have a description under the picture, we discussed the structure of the
calendar. We suggest both a digital and physical one. 20x34 cm size of the
picture and 150 p. Use a proportional picture. Weekdays in black and Sundays in
red.
Logo
We discussed the logo and different ideas how to create it. It is important that
the students are involved but the artist could create it.
We need something immediate, but we can replace it when we have something
from the children.
We create art competition in schools for logo, In the end of November each
school should have chosen one picture. Send it to Carlos. We use all drawings, if
not the logo, it will be put in the calendar.
Etwinning and Twinspace
Twinspace and eTwinning pages are better and more dynamic now. It is easier to
navigate and easier to create a page.
We need to create an images folder to save the picture first before we use it for
instance, to show the calendar. We need to make a link between the images and
what we are creating.
One page for one item, then create it on Twinspace.
