A Social Media Approach at Cordon School"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

We visited the school in Cordon to discover how upper primary students perceive their image on social media\u2026 This is the fourth episode in our series<\/a>.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this fourth episode of our series \u201cTaking a Step Back in Haute-Savoie\u2019s Schools,\u201d we headed to the school in Cordon, located in the Saint-Gervais-les-Bains valley, to find out how CM1-CM2 students (4th and 5th graders) understand and approach their image on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe’re doing a session that will allow the children to create their profile on the school\u2019s digital learning platform (ENT), and to start thinking about how they would create a profile on social media in the near future. Technically, they\u2019re not supposed to be on social media at their age\u2014but a third of them already are!\u201d explains Lise Galevielle, a teacher for CE1, CM1, and CM2 classes and the principal of the Cordon school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among her CM1 and CM2 students, aged 9\u201310, one third are already using platforms like TikTok, Instagram, or Snapchat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this session, Lise provides a worksheet listing typical information requested by social networks (first name, last name, address, email, phone number, etc.). The students work in small groups to reflect on what they would or wouldn\u2019t want to share. Then, they complete the sheet individually to indicate what they would choose to make public on their profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI try to raise their awareness about the kind of information that should not be disclosed on a profile; I raise awareness not only among the students but also among the parents,\u201d she emphasizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support this, she sends home a short summary for the children to read with their parents, having noticed that most parents are unaware of what their child actually does on social media. \u201cHe\u2019s keeping himself busy, I know he\u2019s on TikTok,\u201d is the kind of response she often gets when she asks parents about their children\u2019s online activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Profile photos are another topic covered. In today\u2019s session, Lise has the students cut out the type of profile photo they\u2019d want to use on a social network: a picture of their pet, a photo with their family, a shot of them in a swimsuit on vacation, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, the students discuss each other’s choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school\u2019s digital platform (ENT) will allow them to put theory into practice by creating a profile and a profile picture\u2014this will be the focus of the next session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This social media approach gives the teacher the opportunity to cover multiple topics, including cyberbullying, which already affects many middle schoolers\u2014and could potentially affect Lise\u2019s students. In this CM1-CM2 class, 6 out of 21 students already have a phone with WhatsApp. Some only connect to the internet at home, \u201cso they\u2019re still connected,\u201d the teacher says with a touch of irony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lise Galevielle tries to offer her students a broad understanding of digital topics\u2014from presenting on the ENT to learning about fake news, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe try to cover as many digital-related topics as we can, and it\u2019s not always easy in our mixed-grade classrooms. We give them a few pointers; we plant small seeds and hope they\u2019ll grow\u2014but parents need to be involved too, because learning how to use a phone or access the internet doesn\u2019t happen on its own,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also believes that the fact this learning comes from the school and the teacher gives it more impact than if it were coming just from the parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt least, that\u2019s what we hope,\u201d she concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
