Why eTwinning was not invented 100 years ago?

WHAT IS eTwinning?

eTwinning offers a platform for staff (teachers, head teachers, librarians, etc.), working in a school in one of the European countries involved, to communicate, collaborate, develop projects, share and, in short, feel and be part of the most exciting learning community in Europe.

www.etwinning.net

eTwinning offers the free and safe platform for teachers to connect, develop collaborative projects and share ideas in Europe

www.etwinning.net

100 years ago there was no such platforms

…so, obviously, there was no eTwinning!

WHAT DOES it MEAN:

OBVIOUS?

An elefant has four legs.

2 ⋅ 2 = 4

2⋅2 = {Ø, {Ø}} ⋅ {Ø, {Ø}} = {Ø, {Ø}} ⋅ {Ø} + {Ø, {Ø}} = {Ø, {Ø}} + {Ø, {Ø}} = ({Ø, {Ø}} + {Ø})´ = (({Ø, {Ø}} + Ø)´)´ = (({Ø, {Ø}})´)´ = ({Ø, {Ø}} ∪ {{Ø, {Ø}}})´ = ({Ø, {Ø}, {Ø, {Ø}}})´ = {Ø, {Ø}, {Ø, {Ø}}} ∪ {{Ø, {Ø}, {Ø, {Ø}}}} = {Ø, {Ø}, {Ø, {Ø}}, {Ø, {Ø}, {Ø, {Ø}}}} = 4
