The main objectives are: to contribute to the modernization of the teaching process through the use of social media in teaching, so that students can use technology positively and safely in their daily lives; to increase the number of teachers who use social media in the classroom to support bullying management; to improve teachers' competencies and effectiveness in dealing with bullying through the use of social media; to learn new methodologies, techniques and tools using social media to manage bullying; to develop school- based approaches to raise awareness and prevent peer violence; to understand more deeply the advantages and disadvantages of using digital tools and techniques in educational purposes; to learn a wide range of digital tools to be used to cover different content and learning support activities and communication in dealing with bullying.

Background

Social media is a part of the daily life of today’s students and they definitely affect their communication and education. To follow the technological changes and the needs of these generations, we need to have trained teachers and staff who use social media and digital tools in their everyday practice and make their classes more interactive and up-to-date. At the same time we wanted to raise students’ awareness of peer violence and bullying. We need more qualified staff that can design innovative learning scenarios using social media in the classroom, and web solutions for the classroom and how to spread these innovative practices among teachers in the school so bullying and violence can be prevented, and one of the negative consequences of the use of social media among students - cyber bullying.
