I like the idea of using the passport as a license. Yes educating the parents is on our list too. Id be interested in seeing what your doing at your school.

Thanks Mary
I was thinking the ES could be giving the HS kids advice after taking the Digital Passport But seriously it would be great to have that mentorship in our school.

Thanks for the comment. Always learnign new ways to use tech to enhance learning. Sometimes it falls flat, other times it works great, I guess the big lesson here is to really know your students and curriculum!

Thanks Lindy
Theres SO much out there to play around with and all of these tools have a different use, I guess thats why there are so many!

Lindy
Great working with you. Im sure we can share our successes and challenges next year as we put our plan into action and learn along the way.

Thanks for a super quality comment! I appreciate your kind words. Yes, COETAIL has pushed me creating new boundaries, and actually, it’s helped me realize that there aren’t really any boundaries, especially with […]

Teaching students to make good decisions always needs to be explicit. Digital or otherwise. Its something that often is overlooked as if kids somehow inherently know how to do this just because they are […]

Hi Lissa,

At UNIS Hanoi we have two technology facilitators: one for ES and one for MS/HS. We focus on providing PD for teachers, team-teaching and/or co-planning with teachers, providing support to students […]

Thanks Beth. When I reflect on my use of tech at home, I find I am online TOO much. My own children see this too. It really is about balance. Thanks for the reminder. Now, off to play with my kids!

Thanks Scott. Learning from bad decisions or mistakes is key to learning. A good act if someone has viewed inappropriate material would be to realise that it IS inappropriate and get out of the site. In the ES we […]
