Project Summary

Social media is present in our daily life every second. As long as we are connected via technological gadgets and the internet we are close to each other. This includes that we have access to all sorts of information, we can communicate with all kinds of people, but we can also become a target for cyber crime, bullying or other kinds of threats. We have to be aware of and careful about the negative aspects and influences that can be the effect of this 24/7 accessibility. Since some of our private information is accessible to the world we are responsible for its security. Social media is full of fake and valueless information. While teaching our students how to prepare qualified materials, mostly videos, we aim to teach them how to recognize and judge fake news. Students will receive abilities how to evaluate all kinds of information occuring in their daily lives effectively. They will gain technical knowledge and competence to keep up with technological development that changes every day.
The medium “short film” is a very popular, educative and effective way to reach people. Therefore teaching and learning with the help of short films is very effective and attractive to teachers and young students. We can teach our students and educators how to shoot, cut, edit and render videos. After that they will make films to present social media literacy, addiction, fake news and internet security.
All the films and whatever we produce will be published on the project website, Facebook, YouTube…etc. to be disseminated.
It is common knowledge that using a variety of approaches can improve students‘ attitude, attention levels and their learning. The approach we intend to apply in our project is based on using new educational methods. The goal is to increase dedication by motivating learners and inspiring them to continue learning.
