Research and E-Awareness

The Kent Trust website have an exciting section on ‘Research and E-Awareness’. On the site are three ‘safe search’ resources based on information on animal life, rivers and dinosaurs. The resources only search through folders on the Kent ICT site and hence they are controlled. This is what they say for themselves: Why not try using these resources alongside Textease CT or 2Publish+ to create posters or leaflets. The images and text from thes resources can be quickly copied using buttons from within each search resource.

Safer Practice with Technology

Kent Trust again provides valuable information for adults working in schools. This document provides responses to the questions being asked by adults working with young people.

This is what the writers say about the booklet:

Adults in this area of work need to ensure they are competent, confident and safe when working with new technology. All adults working with children and young people must understand that the nature and responsibilities of their work place them in a position of trust. This document discusses appropriate and safer behaviours for adults working in paid or unpaid capacities, in a school context. A rules approach cannot resolve such complex issues. This booklet suggests a set of real situations to enable adults to develop greater awareness of the dangers and to consider consequences of behaviour earlier in a developing situation.

Bee-Bot Resources

Those clever people down in Kent (well this time James Barrett) have created some really useful Bee-Bot resources.

They can be accessed here … excellent stuff James!
