TECHNOLOGY+IS+AN+ENABLER+NOT+BARRIER


 * Avoid tech for tech sake
 * Technology is the medium, not the message
 * Access to infrastructure and content is more important than devices - any screen will do
 * Technology should connect home to school
 * Reflects the modern-day workplace (flexible working practices)
 * Home-School communication is the ‘trojan horse’ for parental engagement through (and with) technology. Use it to aim for “deeper” use of technology
 * Technologists should NOT control technology
 * Need less restrictive policies on particular devices or usage
 * Schools need a ‘technology toolbox’ of different devices (including personally owned?) to ensure the right kit is available for different tasks and learning objectives
 * Mobile technology and personally-owned-devices in schools
 * Mobile technologies are key to effective engagement now and more so in the future
 * If the use of M-tech in education implies personally owned devices (phones, netbooks, etc.), is Home Access enough to address potential inequalities of opportunity?
