I social network a scuola. Indagine esplorativa all’interno di tre scuole secondarie di primo grado della regione Emilia-Romagna

Abstract

This paper presents the results of “Social networks at school” survey, carried out – in 2017 – inside three secondary schools located in the Emilia-Romagna region. The objective of the survey was to formalize, on one side, the teachers’ knowledge about the regulatory frameworks related to the privacy issue applied in the online social networking environments. On the other side, to identify the teachers’ opinion regarding the impact of new technology considering opportunities and risks, with particular reference to didactic use of social media. The results of the survey show that schools perceive the privacy and social network regulation as relevant aspects to face urgently, but also that the didactic potential of those online and social environments are not sufficiently implemented.
