Social Media as a tool for Inclusion

About the eTwinning project
The basic idea of this project is to create a real connection and friendship between the partner students.
In a safe virtual learning environment such as Twinspace, the students can get to know each other, share information and experiences and learn communication (including foreign language) and ICT skills at the same time.
It’s important that the students learn to discuss different matters freely and connect them to their own lives. You can create a separate Forum for each topic.

WORK PROCESS
Nov. 18 - Jan 19: Students create their own profiles in the Twinspace with a picture and a short description of who they are. 

Jan 19 - May 19: Students work in cross-national groups to compare the content of different school subjects and classroom activities in different countries: what are the themes and topics, what are the ways of learning, how much do they use internet, computers and mobile devices, how often do they have tests etc.? 

May 19-Nov 19: Students work in pairs. Each pair chooses one app/social media and how it may promote inclusion/diversity and present it on a slide. The slides are combined into one presentation (per country).

Nov 19 - Jan 20: Ideas for information campaign shared by the students (posters, folders etc.). 

Jan 20- May 20: Getting ready to present the the campaign/results when meeting physically in Denmark
 
EXPECTED RESULTS
 
All the different outputs produced during the project are uploaded and published in Twinspace for all the partners to see. The expected outcomes are depicted in the descriptions of different modules.
Teachers and students decide together, which documents can be published publically and which ones are only for their partners.

Dissemination: 
At the final mobility in Denmark, the results are presented at a public conference
