Community Survey Summary – Internet & Learning

Parents overwhelmingly value the use of the internet as a learning tool

Suggestions regarding restrictions represent a full range of differing opinions, from those who wanted to restrict individual sites (Facebook,

YouTube, Twitter, Facetime) to those who want no restrictions (but a focus on education) with a group in the middle who mention generic restrictions (adult/sexual, violent, age restricted, teacher determined)

Respondents expect us to: Focus our use on teaching and learning Balance our use of technology with

other things Ensure our systems are safe and secure

Our Changing World

Ken Robinson clip

How Technology is Transforming Education

Slate Books Digital Devices

Learning Revolution – Pressure for change comes from shifts in the way we now access Knowledge:

GLOBAL PERSONAL MOBILE EASILY SHARED SOCIAL OFTEN FREE COCREATED INTERACTIVE

Information superabundance Engagement in School vs Engagement in Learning

9 – 3 learning a thing of the past Learners as active agents in learning

These shifts in models of learning change learner relationships to their teachers, to the rest of the world, and to the very material they

are learning.

ICT vs Digital Citizenship

PAST - Shift from…Thinking about

technology as something that is dangerous or unsafe

Focusing policy/procedures on technology

Learning how to ‘work’ the technology

Receptive – using technology to help me learn

FUTURE - Shift to…Sharing responsibility for

managing the challenges presented by technology

Focusing policy/procedures on the users

Using the technology to enhance learning

Productive – using technology as a means for me to share my learning

Where to Next?

WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE

POTENTIAL FOR:Learning that happens

Anytime, Anyplace, for Any person using Any device

Using knowledge in meaningful ways Learn/Create/Share

cycle Social Action Individualised contexts

CHALLENGES WE FACE:

Accessibility of devicesBalancing school,

parent, student responsibilities and expectations

Security and SafetyDynamic nature of both

tools and information

Working Together

As a school we will:Develop a digital

citizenship framework Introduce new Responsible

Use AgreementsEnsure our use of ICT is

meaningful within the context of learning

Provide ongoing learning for teachers to ensure they stay ‘up with the play’

Ensure we have safe practices through revised procedures

You can help us by:Talking with your children

about their RUA when they bring it home at the beginning of each year

Engage in your child’s learning by: Viewing (and commenting

on) class blogs Asking questions about how

particular apps or games link with learning

Talking to your child about what Digital Citizenship might look like at home

Board Policy

RationaleMaungaraki School supports a Digital Citizenship model for the promotion of safe and responsible use of technology. The board recognises that by fostering a culture of successful digital citizenship in our students, staff and our wider community we are encouraging everyone to take responsibility for themselves and others in their use of ICTs. This allows us to harness the potential that technology brings to the teaching and learning process, while minimising, and learning to effectively respond to, the challenges we may experience while using them in a learning context. The Principal Shall Not Fail To:  Develop and maintain procedures around the safe and responsible use of the internet

and related technologies (ICTs). These internet safety procedures will recognise the value of the technology and encourage its use in a teaching and learning context while helping to minimise and manage related challenges that may be experienced by students, teachers and the wider school community.

 Consult with parents and the wider school community, as to how it intends to use ICT and where possible explain how it benefits the teaching and learning process.

Address the needs of students and other members of the school community to receive education about the safe and responsible use of information and communication technologies.

Netsafe - Learn, Guide, Protect

The LGP model allows us to focus on creating a student-centered pathway from a protected environment to a self managing state

LEARN: Educating students to develop positive, ethical behaviours in cyberspace

GUIDE: Having professional learning resources and lesson activities for educators to teach digital citizenship

PROTECT: The technology, infrastructure, and procedures that support the development of a safe and secure technology environment.

Where to from here?

There is no longer a question of whether we have to ‘go digital’, the question is, how do we gear ourselves for it so that our young people are not at a disadvantage?

We are at a Crossroads: Status Quo? BYOT? ‘Uniform’ devices?
