THE WORDS WE CHOOSE MUST BE OUR EYES (Use and abuse of social networking and its educational implications)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2015, Date de fin: 31 août 2017 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

There is a misuse of Internet social networking by pupils and it is influencing our educational environment and creating behaviour and organisational problems to the three partner schools. We found it necessary to create a project which aims to establish a cooperation between schools, families and the environment that surrounds the schools, to solve the problems and provide the agents with positive strategies to use social networking. These are the objectives of the project: -Analyze and evaluate the use students make of social networks. -Analyze and evaluate its repercusions on the school and its surroundings. -Redirect the detectable abuse/misuse of social networks -Break the LACK OF EMPATHY that social networking creates. We are determined to teach students that when we use the Internet or a virtual space to interact, we miss the empathy that the fact of seeing and hearing others directly implies. This must be taken into account so as to make a bigger effort to be more careful with the words we use; we must choose them by thinking of the interlocutor who is "on the other side of the screen"; this fact requires from us to master the language and to be mature enough. A challenge for teenagers that we do not want to avoid facing. -Implement the courteous use of language and good manners in virtual relationships ("netiquette"), while indirectly bettering the relationships among equals. -Make use of a widespread social network (Twitter, Facebook, ask.com) as a concrete example to establish more direct, accessible and immediate communication between the school and its surroundings by: Informing and orienting students and teachers, Informing and orienting families and the school environment, Strengthening its use as a vehicle of communication from the school itself -Show the students that there are more languages in the EU besides English and that all of them are relevant to communicate. They should appreciate the richness that speaking another language implies, no matter which one. Romanian, Italian and Spanish are closely connected and it would be more than welcome if some of our students who do not study one of the other two languages, feel like doing it. The project can also be a motivation to it. Implementing projects is always a challenge for the participants involved. In this case, the three schools really want to change the way students establish their relations. We also find it an essential pillar of our actions to create a stronger link between the institutions, the families and the surroundings. This is the key to make the project itself sustainable in time and quality.
