KORIŠTENJE DRUŠTVENIH MREŽA U SVRHU EDUKACIJE: PRIMJERI DOBRE PRAKSE U HRVATSKOJ I NJEMAČKOJ
USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE: EXAMPLES OF GOOD PRACTICE IN CROATIA AND GERMANY

Summary/Abstract: Social media channels are often considered as a negative appearance, mostly by elder generations which tend to think about Social Media channels as a waste of time and quest for content without any deeper purpose. Also, personal communication led through SM platforms changed the way of a daily communication in a way that makes users overloaded with information. Croatia increasingly raises questions about media education and some Western countries have already recognized the importance of such education which could change the way of understanding social networks and find ways to use them as a good tool in education and training. Through their own research, the authors came up with examples of bad practice in using social networks, multidirectional communication that ended up with hate speech and other unpleasant situations, but the impression was improved by bright spots that did not get enough attention although there's plenty of them. During this research, the authors found examples of good practices in which social networks are used for education and training, easier organization and transfer of knowledge, as well as useful communications where users receive the information they need and further share them as free knowledge. Practical examples relate to the areas of Croatia and Germany and their comparison that can show what their users can learn from each other about using social media.
