My students are used to exploiting the potentialities of social media in class. We have a class group on whats app, we have an Edmodo class where we share videos, materials and other school stuff , and a closed group on FAcebook as wee. In the etwinning projects we use wikis and live spaces for online collaboration. We also use the Forum space to communicate with other students of different parts of Europe. Of course what is important is to teach students the Internet code of behaviour.

# data[].attributes.body
It is good to know all the features and possibilities of social media for the management of the personal data. Then we can ask students to perform certain roles and assign tasks, such as managing the blog class, or the facebook group, or take care of the promotion of several events organized by the school through social media.

# data[].attributes.body
Try to use social media constructively, to add value to the company, to produce work that is accurate and up-to-date, be responsible and avoid doing anything that will breach confidentiality.

# data[].attributes.body
etwinning projects could be a good occasion to use social media, for example creating a blog where all students involved can share opinions or local habits, or they could also be on touch via skype, so that emotions can be more direct and spontaneous.

It is possible to teach students to be responsible user of the Web only by practicing with them side by side, setting a good example, guiding and explaining. Why not start working on a school blog or create a web page together?

My Italian students are being engaged in a "Skype in the classroom" project with Swedish students. I strongly promote Skype as a social medium as it allows to express personality, make new friends or not , share ideas and pursue common interests. Students are learning to respect people from different cultural background as well as the netiquette.

It is of great importance that the students learn how to use social media responsible. It is important to start at an early age and to work hard on their integrity so they know what that is, what it means both in our virtual world and in the real world. We need to teach them about where our information goes when we share phone numbers and other private information on the internet.

I'm preparing my students for the responsible use of Internet and social media through the use of the same social media. Children in class or at home use Edmodo to exchange opinions, ideas about their daily activities. We have an account Twitter to share suggestions or collaborate with other classes and we often discuss about the responsible use of social media.

# data[].attributes.body
I have created with my class an Edmodo account which is similar to Facebook. Children get in the Edmodo every day and they exchange opinions, ideas, they write about our projects and they humorise to each other. We have talked about safety in internet and they trust Edmodo page as they know that it is only for us. Of course, I will prepare them for facebook page too the next months.

Preparing my high school students for the future of work has been one of my objectives in the last years. Not an easy task since facebook and mobiles are banned in schools.

I have become an ambassador of safer internet access to start with. So, via the youtube, descriptive power points and etwinning project we can use web tools in the ICT lab in groups or in pairs. Social media policy in our school is very restrictive. So, it is via the implementation of digitized project workand a good choice of themes or topics, I introduce changes in fields such as workplace. Foe example, in the academic year 2014-15 we worked on the etwinning platform "The Career Project" and got the national label for it.

On the whole , there are ways to face restrictions and limitations in our teaching and learning. All it take is time and innovative thinking

In kindergarten this is a discussion in last year (when they are 6-7 year old). And we don't introduce them social media web sites (like facebook etc). We talk about security and rules how to use internet and one day social media. We concentrate on rules how to communicate and be safe. Also we learn how to search from internet (the rule of 3, keywords).

At school, students are forbidden to use their mobile phones in class. When they make use of technology in class, they usually do it in the ICT subject. All teachers try to lead students to an effective and responsible use of social media by alerting them to the consequences of their digital footprints. Privacy settings, netiquette,

# data[].attributes.body
I can not use social media in workplace with my students because using phone is banned at school.

# data[].attributes.body
If I decide to use social media with my students, I could first create an Edmodo for them which is similar to facebook but the use of it is only for educational issues. In this way I could prepare them to form a facebook team for the needs of a project, where they could share ideas and materials, comment on each other work and of course use it with respect to other members of the group.

# data[].attributes.body
I suggest to my students when using the Social media, are creating a serious and reliable digital profile.They should also make a e-portfolio, that will often complement, depending on their activities. It seems them quite useful later. Finally, remind them what upload to social media. They should see it as being the same in public that reads them. You liked it? it is useful; reliable?

Social Media is here to be used responsibly. I have my Facebook account, twitter and instagram. I invite my students to follow me in instagram and I follow them back.

Firstly, teachers should be educated on how to use Social Media in their classrooms and generally in the workplace (e.g. at school). Afterwards, students, should be introduced to Educational Social Networking Sites (e.g. Edmodo, Twiducate, Blogs). Activites for Internet Safety, Cyberbullying or what should be their behavior when being online can be integrated to our subjects.

# data[].attributes.body
I would start by asking them to read an article from the news or view a video about one of the many episodes where an irresponsible use of social media has brought about unforeseen negative consequences to some peers' future careers. Students might work in groups to find more examples of irresponsible use of social media and their potential risks, preparing a list of all the safe practices to adopt.

# data[].attributes.body
As teachers, we are responsible to teach our students how to use Social Media responsibly. I teach English so I could practically do anything around this topic. Everything they would search on the Internet to get the information or a practical example is in English. They could then make a PowerPoint Presentation using Slideshare to give their own perspective on the advantages and disadvantages of Social Media. I am sure this would allow the students to collaborate and share ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many talks about using social media in a responsible way, and I think that among young people an awareness has being built on this question, this doesn't mean that we have to stop explaing them how to use social media but I trust that everyday many and many people increase their awareness

As teachers we have the responsability to learn our students to use social media in a responsible way , to have a responsible behaviour in the online background . I teach my students to do this by using SAFER INTERNET TUTORIALS

I think that the use of social networks in the workplace can be a great resource and ingenious if there is responsibility and if it is used with great accuracy. Many start-up can receive great impetus for their development and can reach many people in a short time. However it is necessary that young people and students understand that these are tools and that you should always be careful in its use.

Social Media is here to be used responsibly. How to teach this to students? By the example. I have my Facebook account, twitter and instagram. I invite my students to follow me in instagram and I follow them back. What do I post? Our pictures! Our achievements! We are always celebrating knowledge. And my account is closed, but it keeps on growing. My students that are at the university now, still enjoy and learn with what we do today! We teach by the example. None of my students is in my Facebook account, which is very personal, but some of my old students ask me to be friends and sometimes I say yes!

# data[].attributes.body
Our students are so young to have an account in social platform, but we work in a blog in witch we talk about edMondo experience, we use skype to rk with our etwinning partner. we use also website virtual class in which we share school supplies.

I agree with Ollie . Students need to be guided to the responsible use of the web , the netiquette , the respect of privacy , copyright Students need to realize that everything we put on the network leaves traces , so you need to be responsible . Even families are informed of the risks that children may face , but also are helped to understand that we cannot give up these new technologies . I use services that allow me to create virtual classrooms and so I hope to contribute to this education of children .

I can teach my students to create their e portfolio. There is a kind of this in the following address: www.eoppep.gr/teans

We could open a closed facebook group with our students: they could share materials, and we could discuss with them about copyright, or about checking the informations, or about the impact of the comments. We could teach them to pay respect to other users,even if they are on internet. If they learn this in a closed group, then they can apply it in life.

With pupils:

I use blog and TwinSpace, mainly.

With parents:

I use a facebook secret group to communicate with families, to share products and moments we live at school. Doing this, with parents, I have in mind that parents would be together with children in front of the screen, as they don't have age enough to do it by themselves (primary pupils), and use it together. It's a strategy to get young kids close the the social media but not alone; when they get older (teens) there are bigger chances for them to use it properly and in a safer way.

# data[].attributes.body
My students are too young to reason about the world of work, but they are not too young to use social networks. For this, I think it’s very important to talk in class about the proper use of these extraordinary tools. My school decided to ban smartphones from classrooms. I absolutely don’t agree with this decision but I agree with Ollie’s video.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ollie. Pupils need to be guided to the responsible use of the web, the netiquette, the respect of privacy, the copyright. But also that what we write on the net it's important (think of cyberbullying).

The other side it's families of students; parents often do not know how to manage the use of the web of the children (so in this regard the use of platforms protected is a useful tool).

If we want to bring the “real world” into the classroom, we have to consider integrating social media into our lessons. Privacy concerns are always an issue whether using social media for educational use.  It's important to read all social media platforms’ privacy pages, and ensure that our class feeds are set to private to protect students’ work. We also have to review our school’s social media policy and have parents sign consent forms for posting their child’s work online .

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the suggestion made by Ollie: students need to be guided to the responsible use of the web, the netiquette, to respect their privacy and that of others, the use of images and texts that take account of copyright, because they are often superficial and they do not realize the consequences of their criminal actions. They not always are surrounded by good examples and often emulate the behaviors of others. Increasingly, for example, there are reports of cyberbullying. We must also educate students and families often do not know how to manage the use of the web of the children. I think it's positive in this regard the use of platforms protected as etwinning

# data[].attributes.body
We can use the social media to share the work of students and to colaborate with other students, iving the oportunity to participate in groups of facebook, for example, some projets have a facebook group. With twitter we can discuss some subject using an #.

# data[].attributes.body
After some lessons about netiquette and cpyrights we can organize a teaching activity like peer assessment. After students present some project work we can ask them to point good and weak points. The presentation can be put on padlet and students will have to write their names and give meaningful comments. Then we can discuss the impact the comments had on the presenters.

# data[].attributes.body
Before using social media students must learn about netiquette and how to be responsible online. I have always told my students to be careful online, not to give their personal information, post photos, not to speak to strangers and how to verify and interpret information found online. There are different videos that can help doing this. We can also role play situations with young children. Blocking social media is not the solution.

My students are too young for using social media officially at schools, but I believe they are very interesting and powerful, for example in discussing some topics in science (such as climate changes or other environmental issues etc), in creating some you tube channels at schools about experiments or particular topics in science.

Social Media should be used carefully. Students have to learn and follow some rules of netiquette and above all they should never forget that what they post can be seen by everybody

Use of social media in the workplace is still a rather largely debated issue. However, the collective mission of exploring the social media platform encompasses exciting opportunities for business growth.

In my school we block use of Facebook to students, but we use Facebook school group for communication and they can use it from home. Good example of closed social media is Etwinning which has good policy of sharing and use.

Since all our pupils are under 13 years old, there are not many sosial medias we can use in school time to prepare them for responsible use. But we are in talk with the ICT department at our community to set up Yammer on our school - then we legally can use a sosial media at school for training. We also hope to connect Delve with Yammer so that student can follow the workflow of other pupils working on their group.

We can start with the e-twinning which is a safe platform where our students can practise the guidelines that we have taught them. It's also a good idea to use a class blog.

# data[].attributes.body
We work together with the pupils on etwinning. To have communication with the partnerschools and forfill assignments in different mixed groups. We tell them about netiquette and tell them the rules in advance. As teacher you have the responsability to control them. Pupils have also the responsalility to announce infrigements in the group. So we learn them that way how to be conduct themself in a real situation.

when we have a project, we create closed facebook groups where we can make announcements, share ideas and collaborate.

If I were allowed to do it at school (but I am not...) I would like to create a blog held by pupils, where they should practice the skills but also the behaviour rules needed. I think this could give them the "imprinting" for a responsible use of the net.

# data[].attributes.body
I’ve always told my students to be very careful about posting photos, opinions and/or personal information in social media, because people might want to use them in the wrong way or for reasons my students might not  like. I also insist on the netiquette, students must never be offensive or impolite to other people. But I’ve often got the feeling that telling is not enough; some specific activity should be planned and carried out at school to make the students aware of the dangers linked to an irresponsible use of social media. Pupils were born with social media so they totally lack that sense of privacy we, digital immigrants, still have!

# data[].attributes.body
Right now, young people are doing, and making a wide use of social media on the internet with very little guidance on these matters. However, in order for young people to act, and interact consciously, knowingly in the workplace, educators have to support them and teach them specific skills, such as:

• Using the appropriate media for diverse types of content;

• Searching, verifying, interpreting and evaluating sources of information;

• Distinguishing the ‘public ’ and the ‘private ’ use;

• Knowing about the different types of media which are the most appropriate for different types of communication.

• Knowing about copyright and other ethical and legal aspects.

I use video, audio and other social media contents. I do it during my lesson and preparation for them. Most of the time we speak about moral grounds of our actions and that we are responsible of our actions.

I use Youtube videos to teach English and teach about Social media offerings and functions. Once the pupils understand what the most interesting features are; what responsibilities they have, we work on problem-based topics with collaborative final tasks (ESL subject).

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion in the beginning students should be requested to share ideas and comments in digital closed communities, not in open ones. It is fundamental to make them aware of the damages that a bad use of social media can cause. Students understand the problem if other people that suffered bad experiences on the Web share what happened to them. In the learning process social media are very useful when the members of a class are working together on a project that involves to do something at home in addition to the classwork. If they have to do some research about a specific topic and they have to present to the class the results of their research they need a virtual space to share ideas. There the teacher can give them some tips, too.

# data[].attributes.body
My students are 11-12 years old and they couldn't use Facebook, but they use it, as they use first of all Instagram and Ask. What's about Ask? Is it a social media? Yes, unfortunately, and very regrettable. It's very important that students become responsible and masters of what they say, never anonymous.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that to prepare students to correctly use social media we have to start right from schools using blogs and platforms where they can have experience how to post messages in secure environments, video and interact with each other.

This year I'd like to try edmodo platform and Etwinning projects.

# data[].attributes.body
By using eTwinning in our school we use social media in several kinds of subjects (cross curicullar). Both students and teachers can share, communicate and collaborate with other European students and teachers in a safe environment. We already had some great achievements and results because of that.

I prefer closed digital communities for my students, because of their privacy: due to their age they hardly understand the impact of their pictures or comments in open communities, which already led to many trouble in their personal use of social media.

# data[].attributes.body
My students are from 11 to 14 years old...and, for example to be eligible to sign up for Facebook, you must be at least 13 years old..

A solution...There are closed social media, like Edmodo, which are perfect for schools...

Social media are, by definition, powerful tools for a direct communication among people and therefore their best use is in exchanging informations and opinions at first. Then one can always think about its use as a different tool, as I saw in the module before, concerning a colleague that smartly used Whatsapp to control the flow of its students in the huge and cahotic context of the Expo...The main problem is always that of a responsible use of it; in my opinion teachers would always have the total control of the platforms or they would be the administrators, so as to put concrete limits to the use of it and eventually close the access to whom doesn't want to respect the rules!!

# data[].attributes.body
Social media can be used in all subjects since students can share and collaborate with their peers.  It is important that are aware of their responsibility when using social media.  I think teachers must act as a model which students can follow and good behaviour should rewarded rather than focusing on the negative aspects.

# data[].attributes.body
If you ask the students to teach younger students about the responsible use of social media, first, they come up with bright teaching ideas (ppt, video, poster, advertisement) and second, they incorporate/accept the content they teach to others
