Studying Space with Social Networks

Paola Caradonna

Abstract

The goal of the project is to support the use of technology to encourage the study of science and above all to do research on life in space; for students it is an opportunity to discover their potential in the study of scientific disciplines. The project starts from the interest shown by the students towards the proposed projects from ASI (Italian Space Agency) and an exciting visit to the Geospatial station of Matera.
The teacher can explain to students how to choose their own sources of information, how to share information and emotions and be creative on the web.
The training and technological path not only leads to the creation of a new way of storing experiences, but constitutes a cultural heritage available to the student and his / her companions, to be subsequently resumed, revised, modified and eventually improved.The project includes two lines of activity: one oriented to the goal of sensitizing students to the conscious use of tools for educational purposes; a second one oriented to the production and sharing of works realized by the study of experiences focused on space and technology, reported on the websites of the ESA and the ASI.
The main phases of the project are basically four: identify a theme related to life in space, to have an idea and communicate it through posters, web portals, social networks; identify the web tools to create participated activities and stimulate the interest of the students; share the product material; return of the material collected in a narrative and engaging form.
The most modern active teaching techniques are used to stimulate the participants in group work and to understand the problem solving method.
The theme chosen, developed by the students and shared on social media is hydroponic vegetation in space.
