These new technologies can stimulate discussion, open gateway through knowledge, promote creativity and innovation for effective learning. Teacher and also students should have an entitlement to safe internet access at all times. Pulling Piaget and Papert , the use of participatory media tools in education is typically geared towards, creating a more student centered, adaptive environnement where learners can contribute to the course material, formulate and express their own insights and opinion, construct their own understanding of material by connecting concepts, to personal experience or current events, and learn from one another in collaborative environments .Web 2.0 , social media and other digital and information technologies are powerful and interesting tools, which open up new opportunities for everyone and for this reason teachers and students must know how to use it nowadays in a safety mode . We will collaborate on this wiki http://e-safety4etwinners.wikispaces.com/ and for a good collaboration we have also a PLN http://tinyurl.com/e-Safety4eTwinnersPLN where we post the materials made by students involved in this project , and also we will collaborate on-line in this on-line room on Pligus https://www.pligus.com/room/edtech20 and on skype .
