ETL523 – Module 6

For the use of mobile devices, I would offer these key points:

  • Phones in lockers/bags at all times, otherwise the teacher holds them until end of the day,
  • Students must let teachers see the screen when asked for,
  • While mobile phones are really great tools, they can and are a distraction,
  • Mobile phones are not a replacement for a laptop or tablet/iPad, and
  • Mobile devices are a priviledge, not a right.

I am not a part of the leadership team so I am unaware of the exact process and timeline for policy development.

The leading teacher is someone who is able to trial new ways of doing things and feedback to others, in addition to teaching others. To me, ‘teacherpreneur’, is someone who willing and able to assist in the changing of the site and the progress forward for them both technologically and physically. Not all teachers are willing to be completely willing to be ‘guinea pigs’ when it comes to exploring and trying new things. This means that only a few teachers will be willing to adopt this sort of mentality.

A good digital leader in the environment that I am in ensures that students have access to what they need and that they acknowledge good digital literacy skills and knowledge. They acknowledge themselves as a learner in the space and recognise that they could get things wrong on occasion.
