s there any evidence that schools which have allowed pupils to use their mobile phones have seen a deterioration in behaviour or a rise in online abuse?
Schools need to start piloting more open approaches now before they have to ban pens.
t a time when students can pick up a wi-fi signal on their mobiles at the back of a class, or can find education resources on their mobiles quicker than the teacher at the front, is there a vision for moving from restriction to empowerment?
Ten years on and the internet has changed beyond all recognition. Most young people don't see it as a grey box which they log onto, but rather an ever-on, indispensable vehicle through which they live and socialise; something which they inhabit.
The reality of the mobile internet has made old safety advice such as keeping the internet in a family room almost redundant. It's now portable, private and in our pockets!

This wasn’t a staff development day. It wasn’t a workshop. It wasn’t a conference or even a meeting. This was simply Thursday. A day in the life of an educator who happens to be connected to a virtual teachers lounge (credit to ArtGuy for the analogy). This is nothing more than daily conversation. And yet it’s also miraculous in so many ways.
