"The conviction that school, through its essential role in educating people, has to keep up with the constant changes that make society a reality is certainly one of the reasons behind this project. The Internet in general and social media in particular are part of our lives of 21st century citizens, and the school has to provide educational support in terms of their use for personal and community benefit. Social media and new digital technologies offer an infinity of opportunities and therefore we believe that school should encourage their use in the educational process. In terms of the needs, we have found that in terms of media literacy and social media literacy in particular, an objective analysis reveals that this dimension of education is not reached in a coherent way at school level, and even less so at the level of the national educational system in general. There is no policy that includes components of this dimension in the school curriculum. However, social media, with all the opportunities and risks it offers, is a component of our everyday life, which we cannot deny, and therefore education centred on the way in which social media is used is necessary. The project ""Educational Toolkit for the Development of Social Media Literacy"" proposed by Liceul Teoretic de Informatica “Grigore Moisil” (Iasi, Romania),in partnership with Agrupamento de Escolas de Freixo (Portugal), Istituto Comprensivo 10 (Italia), CiTiP from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) and Center for Independent Journalism (Romania) is an innovative educational project which takes into account an extremely important field in contemporary education - social media literacy. The project aims to create intellectual outputs that give teachers the opportunity to align their didactic approach with the concrete needs of society, combining skills training in different disciplines with the need to develop social media literacy skills in pupils. The project proposes innovative teaching practices for different disciplines, using the social media based learning tools appropriate to the digital era in which both students and teachers live. The project proposes a complex toolkit that offers the opportunity to develop social media literacy skills for students and to make lessons more attractive to any teacher interested in adapting their educational approach to the needs of the 21st century society.The main objectives of the project are:• Creation of open educational resources based on social media learning tools used in school learning activities• Developing social media literacy skills for teachers / education specialists from project teams in partner institutions• Responsible use of social media tools in the teaching process by teachers in target groups• Implementing social media based learning activities in partner institutionsThe project will involve: at least 20 project team members from partner institutions, at least 100 teachers / educational specialists involved in dissemination and testing of intellectual outputs, 14 teachers / specialists participating in the training activities, at least 250 teachers will be informed about the activities within the project, 160 teachers / education specialists will participate in the multiplier events.The activities that will be carried out within the project are: project team building, selection and preparation of participants in project activities, creation and testing of intellectual outputs, financial resource management, implementation and implementation of the DEOR dissemination plan, monitoring and evaluation of activities through specific tools.The methodology used will involve the use of a quality management manual, selection, preparation, monitoring and evaluation tools, participants and activities, as well as risk assessment tools.The results of the project will focus on creating, testing, promoting, using and evaluating 5 intellectual outputs that will constitute open educational resources accessible to all teachers/ specialists in education across Europe: O1 - Curriculum for the development of social media literacy in schools, O2 - Course support for the development of social media literacy in schools, O3 - Methodological guide for teaching social media literacy, O4 - Mobile application for implementing social media literacy in school, O5 - Collection of learning scenarios including the use of Social Media tools. The impact of the project is long-term since all intellectual outputs and sustained activities will develop social media literacy in educational context and will create a premise for the adoption of educational policies at different institutional levels that include the widespread use of learning tools based on social media and a more coherent approach on social media literacy as a part of the educational process in schools, tailored to the needs of 21th century."
