e-teaching webquest (treasure hunt)

e-safety and Ofsted. Click on the link below and skim read the article. identify what you think are the 3-5 key things from this article (in your own words.) You can use bullets.

During an inspection, Ofsted will be on the lookout for how the school protects and educates staff and pupils in its use of technology, and what measures the school has in place to intervene and support should a particular issue arise.
Empowering children at an early age with the knowledge to safeguard themselves and their personal information is something that needs to be nurtured throughout school to see them into adult life.
All teaching and non-teaching staff should be aware and able to recognise e-safety issues with high-quality leadership and management to make e-safety a priority
• High priority given to training and continuation training to all staff, including the contribution of the wider school community. One member of staff to receive accredited training (for example: to become an e-safety officer)
• Clear reporting processes
• Rigorous, plain English policies and procedures integrated with other relevant policies
• Progressive e-safety curriculum
• Provision of a recognised internet service provider (ISP) with age-related filtering
• Good risk assessment

Cyber bullying (online bullying) is when a person or a group of people uses the internet, email, online games or any other kind of digital technology to threaten, tease, upset or humiliate someone else.
An example of cyber bullying was in the news recently when a young girl was being verbally abused on a social networking site and ended up committing suicide
Another example was also in the news recently when a young man got talking to someone on an online chat room and sent some explicit pictures which in turn got used as a black mailing tool
Law and ICT in your college (2013) Why is this document relevant to you?

There are legal obligations in both common law and statute to safeguard the welfare of all learners when making use of ICT. There are a variety of legal issues for colleges to consider within the e-safety context, including on-line bullying, harassment, defamation, hosting liability and data protection. The management of these risks in order to both safeguard vulnerable learners whilst at the same time encouraging and promoting independence is difficult with no definitive solution
