LITTLE CHANGES
TAKE COURAGE
We must empower learners with the tools
and abilities to use technology in the class
• Creating motivating activities
• Setting good modelling examples of use
• Setting clear LIMITS of mobile use
• Making students aware of Digital
Citizenship
• Making colleagues and families aware of
the impact of technology
