Redes Sociais na Sala de Aula

Abstract

Internet social networks are increasingly involved in day-to-day life of students, teachers and people in general. However, these tools are still not well explored in the classroom and even denied access in many schools. This cut comes up often due to “fear” that the student is interested in matters not directly related to teaching content and begins to invade the privacy of the teacher. Given the increasing use of social networks, particularly Facebook and Twitter, and the widespread adherence by our students, is it not this the way to reach them? To hear them? For the message to get through? To communicate? In this case the social networks have become preferred ways of information sharing and communication between students and teacher, also from a b-learning perspective. Deaf students feel equal to hearing students and their socialization is enhanced, also increasing the well-being and sharing among them (something that normally did not occur). This is the result of work undertaken during this school year in a professional course and with deaf students.
