Thank you for the parents who attended last nights ‘Supporting your Child in a Digital World’ parent information evening. Just a couple of points to reiterate
What is Cyberbullying:
Targeted and persistent behaviour that demeans, intimidates and embarrasses, can be an unbalance of power, repeatedly picking on someone. We need to make the distinction is it conflict or bullying?
Digital Residents:
Digital residents are familiar and comfortable with digital technologies, use them as part of their everyday lives, and therefore – to a greater or lesser extent – tend to take them for granted. A Digital resident engages with technology and is actively involved in a variety of applications, this term moves away from the unconscious bias of age with a focus on individual performance and student-centred digital learning.
Student Device Use: (Survey Results)
