  •  
    "This is an assembly from CEOPs Thinkuknow education programme that helps children to understand what constitutes personal information. The assembly enables children to understand that they need to be just as protective of their personal information online, as they are in the real world. It also directs where to go and what to do if children are worried about any of the issues covered."

    "introduced by ABC3 presenter Kayne Tremills, the stories tackle topics including cyberbullying, excessive gaming, sharing passwords, free downloads and online friends. Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Communications, Paul Fletcher, MP, has welcomed the release of #GameOn. 'In my conversations with teachers and parents, I am regularly told that they have to spend significant time in dealing with cyberbullying and disputes on social media,' Mr. Fletcher said. 'In line with the Australian government's commitment to enhance online safety for children, I commend #GameOn as a tool you can use with your children or students to raise awareness of online safety issues, and to help students navigate the online world safely and with confidence.'"

First Take: Can Your Children "Design Their Own Professions?" - 0 views

  • Most schools, even “good” schools, are about getting our kids to “fit in” and “duplicate” what’s already been done. I look at the work my own kids bring home and see little if anything that allows them to stand out and invent. You? The bottom line is, once again, schools have little context for the world as it might become, especially when policy makers at state and national levels continue to reinforce a worldview of learning and work that is quickly being passed by.

    The important issue here for us is not so much that change is occurring so quickly when it comes to the prospects of work for our kids. As technology evolves, there's no doubt that more and more traditional jobs are going to be replaced and new, different ones created. Whether you believe that's "progress" or not, it's hard to slow it down.

How Blogging Can Help Reluctant Writers - Edudemic - Edudemic - 0 views

  •  
    Blogging is an excellent way of motivating students to develop a lifelong love of learning. Writing is a process, and when they learn this they will be able to apply the skills to other aspects of their schooling. It also teaches children critical thinking skills which will help them as they progress through school. Along with the development of critical thinking skills, students will learn how to conduct research. This is particularly important both in school and in the workplace they will one day take part in.

How to use parental controls on iPhone and iPad: The ultimate guide | iMore - 0 views

  •  
    Parental Controls, also known as Restrictions, allow you to set what your children can and can't access on an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. With Parental Controls, you can lock out Safari, Camera, FaceTime, Siri, AirDrop, CarPlay, the iTunes, iBooks, Podcasts, or App Stores (including in-app purchases), as well as content by age rating, and the ability to make changes to accounts and other app settings. In other words, they're a way to block your child's access to anything and everything you deem inappropriate for them based on their age and sensitivity, and your own best judgement. And they're part of what make Apple devices an ideal computing platform for kids!

Planning for inquiry - an opportunity for growth and inspiration. | Justwondering - 0 views

  •  
    Another fab post by Kath Murdoch re inquiry. I love the challenge of connecting the children's questions and interests with the resources we have, the curriculum and the teacher's bigger picture view of where he/she wants to taker her students. I also love the fact that, in the schools I am fortunate enough to work in, teachers are prepared to have real conversations about the concepts the children will be exploring.
