Session 16

Most inspiring and challenging aha-moments and topics I kind of enjoyed the digital side and the leadership side of the course- Scratch, makey makey, movie making and learning how to upload and share.  For the leadership part I was actually surprised to find out that leaders can choose what leadership style they want to use and that as a leader you can change around your styles.

In New Zealand, the Ministry of education has issued a  guide for schools to support schools in the management of safe and responsible use of  digital technology for learning. I had difficulty thinking of a dilemma  that I was ever involved in for the following reasons: At my school when a child enrols, we get the parents to sign a digital technology consent form explaining that their child' s work, pictures or video may be used for publishing , school facebook or to share with others. My school has blocked many unsafe sites and teachers and students have limited control to websites. Sometim...
