Using the web 2.0 in class is a fun and very effective way to deliver content and interact with students. However, teachers have got to pay particular attention to what students are accessing as some of the content is not appropriate. Therefore learning to use e-materials goes hand in hand with learning about the implications of e-safety, inclusion and data protection. Therefore Ofsted has developed a guide for teachers to follow and the 5 most important points are:
The five most important points summarised from the video are as follows;
1. The child's Act 2004 developed the ECM (Every Child Matters) framework that covers the welfare of a child up to the age of 19.
2. Each local area has the responsibility to set up a Local Safeguarding Children’s Board which can offer support and training to colleges. However, this is not obligatory so would need to be asked for.
3. OFSTED is the regulatory body responsible for assessing and monitoring the e-safety and safeguarding procedures, policies and impact within colleges. This came as a result of the Byron Review which recommended that OFSTED investigated the level of e-safety within colleges.
4. There are self-evaluation forms that colleges can complete in order to assess their current e-safety and safeguarding mechanisms and see if improvements need to be made in accordance with OFSTED's framework.
5. If OFSTED visit a college and deem that it has inadequate e-safety and safeguarding procedures, policies and impact then it can result in the overall grade being lowered.
