Twitter en classe : une pratique qui séduit professeurs et élèves
Ils sont nombreux à avoir emboîté le pas de Laurence Juin, l’une des premières enseignantes à avoir pris conscience du potentiel pédagogique de l’outil de micro-blogging. Cette professeure d’histoire-géographie et de français en lycée professionnel a en effet depuis près de deux ans pleinement intégré Twitter à son enseignement. Aujourd’hui, même si les « Twittclasses » (1) restent relativement marginales (seules 72 « Twittclasses » francophones, de la maternelle à l’enseignement supérieur, sont référencées), un nombre croissant de projets pédagogiques se construisent autour du réseau social le plus actif du Web.

The New Media Literacies
The white paper Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century (Jenkins et al., 2006) identifies the kinds of participatory practices youth are engaged in today, and draws up a provisionary list of the skills these practices demonstrate. In the video below, members of the NML team share their thoughts and perspectives on the skills we call the new media literacies. One of our key goals is to stop focusing quite so much on “do kids have computers in their classroom?” and start focusing more on “do kids have the basic social skills and cultural competencies so that when they do get computers in their classroom, they can participate fully?” It’s not that it isn’t important that students have computers in their classrooms. The New Media Literacies constitute the core cultural competencies and social skills that young people need in our new media landscape.

A l'école Albert Camus de Talence, Philippe Guillem fait partie de ces « enseignants-testeurs ». Suivre des ateliers pédagogiques sur l'utilisation des TICE en maternelle Le CRDP des Yvelines anime des ateliers sur l'utilisation des TICE en maternelle. Un outil d'apprentissage comme un autre A chaque enseignant de définir comment les TICE peuvent s'inscrire dans son projet pédagogique, en apportant un plus. Pour les élèves comme pour les enseignants, l'intérêt des TICE est évident. « Les choses passent très facilement.
