Idées d'activités pour développer les compétences sociales Certains enfants ont besoin d'un petit coup de pouce pour apprendre à se placer dans un groupe. Ayant un fils dans ce cas, je me suis penchée sur les différents jeux proposés aux Etats-Unis, pays précurseur en terme d'enseignement des compétences sociales. 1- Développer les compétences sociales des tout-petits En France on entend souvent dire qu'un jeune enfant a besoin de passer beaucoup de temps avec ses pairs pour se "socialiser". En réalité ce serait plutôt l'inverse: plus un enfant de moins de cinq ans passe de temps avec ses pairs en collectivité, plus il risque de développer des troubles du comportement. Les compétences sociales des tout petits dépendent en fait de trois facultés: -le contrôle de soi -l'empathie -et la communication verbale. Le jeu du nom Beaucoup de tout petits ont besoin d'apprendre à capter l'attention avant de parler.

The 9 essential elements of digital citizenship | eSchool News Every digital citizen should have these skills To hear author Mike Ribble tell it, kids are entering school with some exposure to technology—meaning schools won’t be making a first impression. According to a recent Common Sense Media’s study, the percentage of children ages eight and under who’ve used a mobile device nearly doubled from 2011 to 2013, from 38 percent to 72 percent. “Whether they have a knowledge of how to use it appropriately is another question,” said Ribble, the author of Digital Citizenship in Schools and the chair of ISTE’s digital citizenship PLN. Findings like the ones outlined by Common Sense suggest the need for schools to start teaching good digital citizenship to students at a very young age—and Ribble and many others believe that students should learn these skills throughout the K-12 curriculum. “When we teach digital citizenship as a one-off event like a presentation or an assembly, everybody gets all hyped up—and then it disappears over time,” he said.

Le projet d’enseignement moral et civique Ressenti global Le projet évoque très largement les situations pédagogiques, que ce soit dans les principes généraux qui présentent les grands axes ou dans les exemples pratiques donnés en regard des compétences et connaissances à enseigner : Les principes et les valeurs inscrits dans les grandes Déclarations des droits de l’homme et la Constitution « ne pouvant se transmettre à l’école que dans des situations pédagogiques et éducatives où elles sont activement impliquées (discussion, argumentation, projets communs, coopération, etc.), leur enseignement suppose une cohérence entre ses contenus et ses méthodes. Il suppose également que les formes d’évaluation qui lui seront associées soient d’une grande diversité et soient adaptées à sa nature, à ses modalités et à ses objectifs ». Et pourtant, oubliées les pédagogies coopératives qui mettent en place, depuis un certain temps, ces situations pédagogiques ! L’expression « être capable » est utilisée dans les compétences à acquérir.

A dozen ways to teach ethical and safe technology use From The Classroom Teacher's Technology Survival Guide A dozen ways to teach and promote ethical and safe technology use Responsible teachers recognize that schools must give students the understandings and skills they need to stay safe not just in school, but outside of school where most Internet use by young people occurs. Over-filtered school networks set up a false sense of security; the real world of the Internet is quite different from the Internet at school. Teachers who address safe and ethical Internet use proactively: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Will doing those things guarantee that a student will never get in trouble or danger online? Ethical instruction needs to be on going. * Johnson’s 3 P’s of Technology Ethics: Image source:

Teaching Ethics and Narrative . . . With Violent Video Games? More and more teachers today are experimenting with video games in a bid to keep their classes relevant and their students engaged. It's not uncommon to read about schools using titles like Portal 2, Minecraft, and SimCity to teach anything from high school physics to civic responsibility. These "clean," classroom-friendly games are devoid of the graphic violence whose effects on children and adolescents have caused so much consternation and debate. Conventional wisdom dictates that violent games have no place in schools, but this notion has been challenged by Tobias Staaby, a Norwegian high school literature and religious studies teacher who incorporates ostensibly violent games like The Walking Dead, The Last of Us and Skyrim into his practice. Staaby teaches at Nordahl Grieg Upper Secondary, a new state-of-the-art high school tucked away in a quiet suburb of the coastal city of Bergen. Tobias Staaby and two students.

Digital Citizenship Education in Nine Steps | Take the Lead Today’s students have an online playground in addition to the physical one at their schools. But unlike school playgrounds, digital spaces are rarely monitored or supervised. As students connect, communicate, and collaborate digitally, they need to learn web literacy, source evaluation, information filtering, and self-monitoring skills. Merely teaching digital citizenship skills is not enough. Responsible online behavior needs to become part of the district or campus climate. In my school district, our journey towards cultivating a culture of digital citizenship began with a Strategic Design Plan that included seamless integration of digital citizenship “across the curriculum, so that all stakeholders collaborate in an atmosphere of respect, integrity, sharing, trust, and service,” as our plan states. The strategic design process began in 2011, with community stakeholders drafting a new mission, vision, goals, and core beliefs for the district.
