Speaker: Dave Thomson, Educational Improvement Adviser, Worcestershire Children’s Services and James Green, Teacher Adviser e-learning, Worcestershire Children’s Services
E-safety and Information Literacy are key elements in the development of a digital learning climate. This session will explore internet safety as a component of information literacy and will explore issues around the balance between the need to manage internet access in school while recognising the range of opportunities and risks associated with using the internet at home.
The session will use the Learner’s Charter to place the issue in context and will seek to consider issues of Personalisation, e-safety and Information Literacy in order to shape the future digital learning climate. What is the role of the Authority, school, teacher, pupil and parent in this process? What change management issues need to be addressed to implement this way of working? How will policies be maintained? Who will be responsible?
