Secondary and special good practice - innovating safely
This document discusses the educational and social benefits of ICT, including literacy, numeracy, communication skills, and access to online content and communities. It emphasizes that ICT can foster inclusion and collaboration through interactive tools like mobile devices, online communities, podcasts, blogs, wikis and games. Schools are innovating with technologies like iPads, visualizers, learning platforms and app development. However, the document cautions that effective use of mobile devices and cloud-based technologies requires robust policies around data handling, e-safety, and staff training to ensure technologies are used safely and for learning.

Mobile Devices • Mobilecommunication is now the single most important activity many YP rely on to give them identity, connection and a sense of community. • It is important for all those with a duty of care for young people to understand how new mobile platforms are influencing relationships and behaviour both within and outside the learning environment. • Mobile and tablet technology requires robust infrastructure • Mobile and tablet technology not as easy to deploy as conventional PC and Mac based suites. If you innovate with mobile / tablets or BYOD then make sure you plan to teach how to use them effectively. We can’t assume safe practice by osmosis.

Editor's Notes
- #3 This story today will be about protection, relationships, risk and the technology which is changing them. We all want to protect our kids, Ive got two and one on the way…
- #4 KID proofing…..From when they are little, bashing into things such as tables, Child proofing the house
- #5 Kids love playing,
- #6 Playing and building relationships,Relationships are complex and even adults struggle with them
- #7 We want the kids to experience as many things as possible
- #8 BUT Our attitudes to risk have changed, risk assessment, firemen going inotbuidlings, school trips, annectdote: Risk assessmenent for Surrey safe drive stay alive
- #9 Study shows 70% of kids don’t go outside enough. Why do you think that is…pauseCircle of mobility restricted by parentsCommunication Technology also has an effect
- #10 Think back. Do you remember a time when you felt this. 2 mins. A toy? A place? An event/This is what my kids are in awe of at this week – an elastic band
- #14 Mobile communication is now the single most important activity many vulnerable YP rely on to give them identity, connection and a sense of community. Consequently, staff working in PRUs (and elsewhere) must be given ongoing support and hands-on training to better understand how interacting with new social media and mobile platforms create positive opportunities but, equally, very real challenges for vulnerable young people.

- #21 I suppose to end I would like to share this quote…Dave Grohl winning Grammy. Highlights that all of this is NOT about the technology It is about relationships, risks and education. Our kids need support. We need to keep up with the technology however keeping up its effect on the students relationships and social awareness is even more a prioroty.
