Part of our Online Teaching webinar series. Safe, responsible and ethical use of digital technology is even more relevant in this time of learning from home and “anywhere anytime" learning.
The line between home and school has never been more blurred and this has given us an opportunity to look at our role as educators and the ways we can make the learning authentic and relevant for our students and families. The filters are off at home so our roles as educators have never been more important in how we teach, and what our students learn about cyberbullying, data and privacy and risk-assessment.
Those of you joining in this DLTV session may be leaders in your school when it comes to setting up virtual, emerging learning opportunities for your students and working with others to educate (more than keep) your students to be safe, responsible and ethical users of all technologies.
This session will provide you with ideas, activities and resources to share with your fellow teachers. Some of those will be activities teachers can use to direct at home learning including investigation of social media sites. Others will be a means by which to build student voice and advocacy into your policies.
