Managing+online+social+identities+-+virtual+life+skills


 * Would full access to the internet in schools improve young people’s digital literacy (e.g. research and discrimination skills)?
 * Social skills in the use of social media can teach important life lessons. How can the balance be stuck between risk and over protection?
 * Virtual life skills will become increasingly important. Should managing online personae be included in the curriculum?
 * How can crucial softer skills (e.g. around online collaboration / communication) be taught?
 * Parents: a bigger part of the equation
 * Parents can obstruct change and development in learner practices
 * “An engaged parent = an engaged learner”
 * Portable devices create opportunities to link home and school ( Proof of concept case studies of PSPs in  Birmingham school)
 * What 14-19 diploma curriculum may be more interesting/ accessible to parents (e.g. studies with link to real world experience and companies e.g. JCB)
 * Engaging young people / education futures should be co- created with learners
 * Young people should be integrated into education design - and into events that explore the role of technology in education. What does an effective co- creation framework look like?
 * Go beyond the usual BECTA - approved institutions. Should young people be engaged through social networks as well as education networks
 * How do we teach policy makers / educationalists to “shut up and listen”?
 * What lessons can be learned from case studies like the JP Morgan intern case?
 * Look at the Ken Robinson speech that’s on TED about creativity and education. What does a fluid and responsive education system that can adapt to the future look like?
 * <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Technology in schools shouldn’t be restricted by targets and guidelines. However, measurements /targets should be agreed to to ensure effect can be measured- over realistic time scales. What should they look like?
