J’ai 5 ans et je tweete à l’école !

  • 0:00 - 0:01
    [Child]] .... first names.
  • 0:01 - 0:03
    [Olivier Ménadier, teacher] We write the first names, but what do we write first?
  • 0:03 - 0:04
    [Children] Hi!
  • 0:04 - 0:06
    [Menadier] What do we write with? A biro?
  • 0:06 - 0:10
    [Children] No! With the keys - with the keyboard.
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    [Menadier] With the keyboard!
  • 0:12 - 0:18
    [Journalist] Since the beginning of the school year, there is a small revolution in this small school of SW France.
  • 0:18 - 0:23
    Some of the kids are barely 5, but, together with their teacher, they already tweet.
  • 0:23 - 0:26
    [Menadier] So, we reply to his/her question: "Does the hen sit on her eggs?"
  • 0:26 - 0:27
    [Children] No!
  • 0:27 - 0:28
    [Menadier] So we reply...?
  • 0:28 - 0:28
    [Children] "No!"
  • 0:28 - 0:29
    [Menadier] No.
  • 0:29 - 0:34
    [Journalist] The principle is simple: the teacher writes the message that they want to publish on the web,
  • 0:34 - 0:37
    and then the children type it with the PPC.
  • 0:38 - 0:47
    [Children[ A... wait, let me think. Well, yes, a card.... - Teacher, we've almost finished.
  • 0:47 - 0:51
    [Menadier] You've just written: We don't have a...
  • 0:51 - 0:51
    [Child] ... a rooster.
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    [Menadier] ... a rooster. That's it. OK?
  • 0:53 - 0:57
    [Child] If there had been a rooster, she could have had little chickens.
  • 0:57 - 0:58
    [Menadier] Exactly.
  • 0:58 - 1:03
    [Hournalist] So of course, these kids cannot read or write yet.
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    But nonetheless, according to their teacher, this exercise is useful,
  • 1:06 - 1:11
    because in this way, they get a grasp of spelling and they synthesize their thinking.
  • 1:11 - 1:13
    [Child] Wait... Tac!
  • 1:13 - 1:16
    [Menadier] You see some small kids, when they are asked
  • 1:16 - 1:20
    "What could we wrrite?", they go: "My dad is strong", and -
  • 1:20 - 1:23
    this has nothing to do with what the class is discussing,
  • 1:23 - 1:28
    so, managing to take into account what others say
  • 1:28 - 1:32
    to build a common sentence, that's also an important goal.
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    And what do we say in these messages?
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    [Chold] Well... everything?
  • 1:36 - 1:39
    [Journalist] Here, the class' twitter account is private.
  • 1:39 - 1:43
    I.e. no one can read the messages without th teacher's authorizaton.
  • 1:44 - 1:48
    These children do not correspond with their parents - as it sometimes happens in other classes -
  • 1:48 - 1:49
    [Child] We live here.
  • 1:49 - 1:50
    [Menadier] And where is Calgary?
  • 1:50 - 1:51
    [Child] There.
  • 1:51 - 1:51
    [Journalist] but with Canadian kids.
  • 1:51 - 1:55
    Though parents had some misgivings at first, they are now conquered.
  • 1:55 - 1:58
    [Sophie Herkenrath, mother of Antoine, 5]It's one of the child's working tools nowadays.
  • 1:58 - 2:03
    So we can't leave aside the internet and all its possibilties, so it's rather good.
  • 2:03 - 2:08
    And then, of course, like with everything, you must provide a framework, limits,
  • 2:08 - 2:13
    and above all you must explain accurately the interest of this kind of use.
  • 2:14 - 2:18
    [Journalist] Today. there are ca 150 twittclasses like this one in France,
  • 2:18 - 2:20
    but none, so far, in Switzerland.
  • 2:20 - 2:24
    These pilot projects are strongly criticized by some, who call them gadgets,
  • 2:24 - 2:27
    or even dangerous miscegenations of business and education,
  • 2:27 - 2:29
    but this is not the opinion of this pedagogue.
  • 2:29 - 2:32
    [Nicolas Szilas Faculté de Psychologie et de Sciences de l’Education - Geneva University] The interesting thing about these technologies,
  • 2:32 - 2:36
    when they become communicative, is that we finally can get outside the four walls
  • 2:36 - 2:38
    and learn more authentically.
  • 2:38 - 2:41
    Because the difficult thing in the learning process is that you may well repeat the same thing 10 times in a classroom,
  • 2:41 - 2:46
    but afterwards, how can this thing be transfered in a real situation?
  • 2:46 - 2:48
    That's the really big difficulty.
  • 2:48 - 2:51
    [Journalist] Saying and showing simultaneously?
  • 2:51 - 2:54
    [Szilas] Saying and doing. I.e. being in a real activity.
  • 2:54 - 2:58
    [Karim Hejjaj ILL] OK? So if you divide by 10, where will you put the comma?
  • 2:58 - 2:59
    [Student] Well, there.
