Introduction :

This report  sums up the results of survey in which 6 countries (Greece, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Latvia and Poland) participated. The topic of the questionnaire was “The way we use the media”. However, teachers and students gave different answers. Further we are going to discuss the differences.

The most useful medium :

According to the results, students prefer to use internet the most, in order to search for information.

Similarly, teachers do the same.

Television:

It's apparent that both children and teachers either they are on holiday or at the weekends they don't

like watching TV a lot. So they use TV one hour or less per day. Finally, they rarely prefer spending two  hours or more.

Radio:

Comparing the results, we can see that teachers usually listen to the radio, especially while they drive. On the contrary, children are not fans of radio with the exception when they are in the car.

The Press:

On the one hand, we found that  teachers prefer the press like magazines and newspapers and if they read it, they choose local daily newspapers which are related  to science, music, art, celebrities etc. On the other hand, most of the students don't read newspapers at all, but if they do, press is related to teens.

Internet:

Obviously, most of the teachers have computer and also internet connection. So they use the internet in order to search  for educational contents and works everyday. Simultaneously, students have both computers and internet connection and use it for the same purposes like educational contents and homework.

Online TV and multitasking:

The results showed that mobile phones and computers are the most frequently used platforms. It also turned out that in  both groups only few people watch online TV always or usually – most of them watch it only occasionally and, while watching, teachers always do multitasking, whereas students don't.

Blogs:

The answers  of teachers and students are similar. Though, a bit more teachers read blogs than students, because they have different aims. Teachers search for useful and practical for life information ,whereas students search for fun.

Social Networks:

We found out that both teachers and students tend to use facebook more than other social networks. The only difference between them is that Instagram takes the second place among students and the last among teachers. When it comes to contents related to news stories it seems like both groups search for them, but only teachers comment and share them regularly.

Internet and Teenagers:

Most teachers answered that teenagers should be under supervision while surfing the net, whereas almost all students stated the exact opposite. Students also added that their parents are usually watcing TV or doing their own duties while they use the PC.

Conclusion:

To recapitulate, the conclusion drawn from all the above is that nowadays the internet is the most popular social medium for among all different ages. However it has its own advantages and disadvantages, because on the one hand it has separated people from personal contact and replaced books, on the other hand it gave people the opportunity to explore the world, widen their outlook and overcome distances.
