The document discusses parental inclusion in early years learning settings and compares different ICT approaches to developing partnerships with parents. It finds that while ICT has benefits like convenience and two-way communication, there are also barriers to its use including digital literacy, access issues, and risks regarding privacy and security. Both parents and practitioners have misconceptions about appropriate ICT use. The document concludes that with training for both groups, ICT could help engage parents while addressing concerns, though more research is still needed.

A thought provoking presentation that will assist local authorities and schools involved in future waves of BSF.
ICT Discourse Groupings
The document introduces four groupings that have different perspectives on ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in education:
1. Boosters unequivocally promote ICT and believe that it will improve learning, access to jobs/information, and administration while solving all problems. They see a fully digital future and are told by figures like Negroponte and Gates.
2. Anti-Schoolers see existing schools as anti-learning and want to replace them with online/home learning using ICT. They believe ICT will improve learning and motivation while solving all problems. They foresee the end of traditional schools and a digital global community, as told by thinkers like Perelman and Papert.

Bridging the digital divide The Case of CHEP
This document summarizes CHEP's experience integrating information and communication technologies (ICTs) into Ipusukilo Community School in Zambia. CHEP trained 7 teachers in computer and internet skills like typing, Windows, Office, email and browsing. This enabled teachers to incorporate radio lessons, communicate with guardians, submit reports, and establish international partnerships. As a result, exam performance improved for students taking the radio classes, attendance at meetings increased, and the school gained sustainability through income-generating activities. However, challenges included poor infrastructure and lack of electricity at the rented building.

This document provides an overview of a presentation titled "Parenting 2.0: The Presentation Your Parents Want to Hear" given by Rita Oates, PhD. The presentation aims to help parents understand the challenges of parenting in a technology-rich world. It discusses issues like cyberbullying, online safety, and helping children develop technology fluency rather than just literacy. The presentation reviews research on parents' technology concerns and shares strategies and resources to help parents have conversations with their children about appropriate online behavior and developing balanced technology habits. It also recommends books to help parents navigate issues around their children's technology use.
Information literacy
This document discusses the information problems of overload and quality of information sources. It notes that more information is now produced in a short period of time than in previous thousands of years. For the problem of overload, the document questions if simply adding more technology or content is the solution. For the problem of quality, it notes that most students use the internet for research but many sources are unreliable. It raises questions about restricting students' access or pre-selecting sources for them as potential solutions. The document concludes with a parable about teaching people to fish for themselves rather than just giving them fish.
Net Gen - How Do We Teach Them?
This document discusses the characteristics of the "Net Generation" or "Digital Natives" - today's students who have grown up with technology. It notes that they are constantly connected online, prefer visual media and multitasking, and see technology as an essential part of their lives. The document also examines how the education system needs to change to better engage these students, such as incorporating more multimedia, group work, and opportunities for online interaction and collaboration. It concludes by looking at the next challenge of the "Neomillennial" generation and how educators can keep up with rapidly changing learning styles.

Everything governors should know about ICT but are 'afraid' to ask
Governors should focus on high-level oversight of the school's strategic direction and hold school leadership accountable for improving student outcomes, rather than micromanaging day-to-day operations. They have a duty to support and advise the school by setting targets, developing policies, and keeping the school under review while exercising responsibilities in partnership with school staff. When making decisions about technology investments, governors should consider the anticipated educational impact on students, professional development needs of staff, and ensure the best value for money based on research.

Ao1 collecting background information
The document discusses the problem of children without internet access at home and how it affects their education. It provides statistics showing that poorer families are twice as likely to lack home internet access compared to richer families. Without this access, children have a harder time completing homework that requires online research, which can lower their learning capabilities and attainment. This gap in internet access is expected to worsen educational inequalities between low and high income families if unaddressed.

Unit 3 -_problem_solving
The document discusses the problem of lack of internet access for children in low-income UK families and how it may negatively impact their education. Statistics show that around 2 million UK children do not have internet access at home, which is more common for poorer families. Without internet access at home, these children may struggle to complete homework assignments that require online research, limiting their learning potential and putting them at a disadvantage compared to children who can access the internet at home. The gap in educational attainment between low and high-income families could worsen if this issue is not addressed by the government.
Reaction
The document discusses rethinking education in the age of technology. It notes that the current education system is moving too slowly compared to technological advances. While technology skeptics exist, the learning environment and how people learn are changing. Classrooms have integrated more technology over the past 10-15 years, going from minimal use to most having interactive whiteboards and student response systems. The authors argue technology should be used as a tool to facilitate learning rather than replace teaching.
Reaction
The document discusses how education needs to change to keep up with advancing technology and the faster pace of the modern world. It notes that while classrooms have integrated more technology over the past 10-15 years, the education system itself has not changed radically enough. The authors believe technology is a tool that can facilitate learning rather than replace teachers, and that parents may take a stronger role in education through new innovations. However, increased individualized and online learning could also lead to greater isolation and division between social groups.

A four-pronged solution is outlined: 1) providing refurbished, low-cost computers; 2) free digital skills training; 3) affordable internet connectivity programs; and 4) public computer labs. Since 2013 over 2,000 refurbished computers have been distributed and 2,100 people received skills training in 2014.

The document discusses the wide-ranging impacts of information and communication technologies (ICT). ICT can empower users and participants, especially women, by providing access to information. It also impacts health through telemedicine, education by making learning more engaging, and economies by improving productivity. However, ICT use brings some disadvantages like increased health issues from extensive computer use and greater opportunities for criminal activities. Overall managing ICT's impacts requires addressing issues like the digital divide, developing ICT skills, and safeguarding personal information.

- 11 million people in the UK lack basic digital skills like communicating, finding information, sharing content, and staying safe online. This negatively impacts individuals' employment, education, health and financial security as well as the country's economy and productivity.
- Barriers to digital inclusion include lack of access to computers/internet, lack of motivation to use technology, and lack of digital skills. Providing access, training and support at local community centers helps inspire people and build their confidence to use the internet regularly.
- Over 1.2 million people have gained basic digital skills through UK online centers between 2010-2014. A simple, localized approach that increases access, inspires motivation and provides training is most effective for digital inclusionUf bi s update and mckinsey short april version

E-Rate
The document discusses the E-Rate program which provides discounts of 20-90% on telecommunication and internet services for eligible schools and libraries.

Economics of Social Networking Technology final
