From garden to Facebook – And what’s in between?

Urška Bučar, Osnovna šola Dolenjske Toplice

Opinions on the use of social networks among people differ. However, if you take up the use of Facebook in the second and third grade of elementary school, as in our case, it is even more so. The cause lies primarily in the security of personal data and the publicity of the photos and reviews. How we faced the age and the security problem when using Facebook in our case, will be shown through our own example of good practice. Facebook was used in the classroom in the form of a closed group, in which only students, parents, teachers and the local representatives were involved. Students work through the Facebook accounts of their parents. All data presented is limited to only names and in the photos, however, face protection is provided with appropriate programs. Pupils express their opinions, post photos of their products and work in the school garden. In the group we publish guidance for the work, we share practical experiences, ask, answer, collaborate with experts and organize events. The group has been active for two years now.
