Social Media Literacy Toolkit available for schools

The Educational Toolkit for the Development of Social Media Literacy (or the ETDSML) project has been running since 2018 and is now entering its final months. This Erasmus+ project aims to empower teachers and school leaders to foster social media literacy in their schools. The main goal is to encourage teachers to use social media in the classroom and teach social media literacy to their students.

The main objectives of the project:

• Creation of open educational resources based on social media learning tools used in school learning activities;
• Developing social media literacy skills for teachers / education specialists from project teams in partner institutions;
• Responsible use of social media tools in the teaching process by teachers in target groups;
• Implementing social media based learning activities in partner institutions.

These objectives will turn into 5 tangible outputs with a sustainable dimension which include:

• O1 – Curriculum for the development of social media literacy in schools
• O2 – Course support for the development of social media literacy in schools
• O3 – Methodological guide for teaching social media literacy
• O4 – Mobile application for implementing social media literacy in school
• O5 – Collection of learning scenarios including the use of Social Media tools.
