Why do we talk about Social Media nowadays? (from tribes to weak ties & network sociality) In the ‘old days’ everyone that mattered was within walking distance Growth led to leaders of groups, still direct communication Mobility led to distance and mediated communication: enter social media!

Sociale Media zijn slechts een nieuwe manier om de Conversatie voort te zetten! Social Network/Media: ‘ Rediscovery’ of old friends (from school, from local town, from studies abroad, …) Alternative meeting space for ‘real’ friends (i.e. twitter for day-2-day vs. dinner and a good conversation every few weeks)

Kids use social networks to stay in touch with their peergroup outside school Dutch social network is HYVES (6 million members!)

A constructive/positive approach to Social Media in Education Social Media very popular with kids, especially within their own peergroep At the moment schools ban these apps, seen as a disturbance This cannot last, how to build upon the phenomenon?

A model of opinions on Social Media in School Student School is a place to learn stuff to get a good job School FUN Meeting other students, constructing personal identity Mental distinction: School & Peergroep  respect that!

Digital Natives: hype? Students ICT literate? Skindeep, no real understanding or sophisticated use Teachers think students know it all… and feel inadequate themselves Risk: no education in ‘real’ use of internet applications (i.e. online cooperation , information filtering, etc.)

A (succesfull) community is formed around ‘A social Object’ (i.e. a kid with a football in the park is never alone…) What is the shared interest, problem, challange, etc. Teachers seem unwilling to share, but really fear criticism of their peers Trusted environment among peers will stimulate open discussion and exchange of materials So what’s your ‘football’? Making education fun, exciting, usefull for kids!
