Keep in Touch with Tech is a project to help European students build their vocabulary by sharing videos on Flipgrid and suggesting word or culture-related challenges to their counterparts. We intend to prove that technology and social media can be used in a fun and didactic way. Likewise, we wish to raise consciousness about the importance of responsibility in the digital world. All the videos and comments of our Flipgrid groups are moderated by the teachers and we do believe this reassures students who wish to speak out and get to know other teens without fear of trolls or bad experiences.
By the end of the school year, we hope we will have learnt a good deal of new words, cultural characteristics and commonsense uses of technology.
