Starter
I have enjoyed this course and would like to say thanks to Ollie and his team I have learned a lot of new things and now have a wealth of resources to use. I think for primary schools in my area introducing coding would be a good idea for starters leading to Apps development. I think most children would enjoy this. We already have class blogs and a school website.

How to use social media - Social Media in the Workplace 5.3
Young children should not join any social media sites until they reach the minimum age requirement, however I am aware that there are ways around the minimum age requirement. Therefore, it is essential in primary schools to teach about using social media responsibly, creating safe passwords, communicating online safely, so that they are able to protect themselves online.

Websites about what kind of social media sites there are, the ways to stay safe on the internet and what to do about any online issues.

How to use social media - Using social media as a Learning Network 5.2
My learning network covers all three parts mentioned by Ollie. Face to face with colleagues, students, parents and friends. In digital closed communities  with European Schoolnet courses, Future Learn courses and digital open communities such as Facebook, Twitter and You Tube, though I do not use these very often. I think after this course I will be more active in using them.

How to use social media - What is social media 5.1
Social media is everywhere. Even relatively young children use social media. It has been reported that in the UK, more than 25% of children between the age of eight and 12 had an account on Facebook, Bebo, MySpace or similar. Even though Facebook state that children under the age of 13 are not allowed to have a Facebook account.

As teachers we need to give our children the skills to use social media sensibly, making them aware of ‘cyberbullying’ on the web and also the ‘footprint’ we all leave when using the web.

# data[].attributes.body
I would have liked more IT resources in school. Laptops, tablets and robots for the children to use. Also some staff are enthusiastic about using new technologies whilst others shy away from it. There needs to be uniformity throughout the school. Staff  should be trained and encouraged to make use of the equipment available to them.

Internet of Things 4.8
The internet of things is  a fantastic development but as Ollie stated we must ensure as educators that we teach our children values and make them aware of safe use of the  internet.

Thanks to Zita, Ireland for the information supplied. It is quite daunting when you see what hackers can do.

Educational Robotics - Getting Started Activities 4.7
As I mentioned previously the only experience I have is with using bee bots with children.

# data[].attributes.body
Educational Robotics - Introduction 4.
I have used bee bots with children, which provide practical learning in mathematics – shape, position and movement and problem solving.  The school did not have any other robotics, as these were quite expensive. I think that now there has to be investment in this area to help children develop the key competences for lifelong learning.

Content and Copyright - digital plagiarism 2.2d
I agree with Lisa, Ireland. We need to be more aware of digital plagiarism and make the children act responsibly when accessing and using information from the web.

# data[].attributes.body
Content and Copyright - understanding copyright 2.2c
I think it is important to make children aware of copyright and the legality surrounding it. Children are all too ready just to copy and paste without thinking about the source.

Just finding a picture via Google is not legal, you need to use media you have permission to use and credit the creator if that is required. This can be used as an opportunity to talk about copyright, digital literacy and more.

.edu or.ac indicate a college or a university,

.org is normally an organization,

.gov is normally a government entity

and

.com is normally a commercial enterprise

Quality Information:

·      Are sources documented

·      Are there links to other resources

·      Are links well chosen

·      Do links work

·      Do links represent other viewpoints

·      Do links indicate bias

I use Google Chrome as it is simple and fast. I sometimes use Firefox.

One problem with Google is that a Google search won’t help you find pages that Google hasn’t indexed, I find using Google fine for young children but perhaps giving alternative search engines to older students is a good idea and let them decide which they prefer. I have not used QR codes before, don’t know much about them but will learn.

Intro
I am a retired primary school teacher and was ICT co-ordinator for my school. During my career I helped students to develop their ICT skills. I am good at finding things on the internet, creating animations and making videos.  Coding was not a big part of our curriculum but now there is greater emphasis on coding in primary schools. I have been developing my coding skills online with Code.org, Codecademy and have recently completed ‘Teaching Computing’ via Future Learn.

# data[].attributes.body
Future Thinking 1.5
I totally agree with Ollie. Teachers of today have to be prepared to embrace change and develop new skills, at the same time guide students in the safe and proper use of technology.

# data[].attributes.body
Accessing Future Jobs 1.4
I have never had an online interview. And the school that I worked in before retiring did not do online interviews., nor do any of the schools within our authority.  I do not have a Linkedin profile. I have used video conferencing before with students. I have not talked to students on accessing jobs in the 21st century.

# data[].attributes.body
The Future of work. 1.2
As stated in the video 20 years ago we didn't really have a web, 10 years ago there e=were no social networks.  If you work in web programming, online marketing, or the mobile phone industries, your job didn’t even really exist 20 years ago. Who knows what jobs there will be in the future. All we can do as educators is ensure we give our students the skills necessary to deal with whatever the future brings.

Future of work:

1.    Transparent

2.     Flat

3.     Competative

4.     On Demand

# data[].attributes.body
What are digital skills? 1.1

I agree with Ollie that digital skills will change the future. For young children in primary schools I think that communication and online safety awareness are important. Creating and problem solving follow. I agree with Mashable that all student leaving school should be competent in all 10 competences listed. As for what would be relevant in 2030 - who knows. Technology is advancing at such a fast pace I feel it would be difficult to determine what skills will be most important.

Basic digital skills are a minimum level of digital skills you need in order to safely use digital technology to access the benefits that it can provide

1.    Managing information

2.    Communicating

3.    Transacting?

4.    Problem solving

5.    Creating

Digital competence is the set of knowledge, skills and attitudes that are required when using ICT and digital media to perform tasks, to solve problems, to communicate, to manage information, to collaborate, to create and share content effectively online.

10 things that young people should be leaving school with in 2015 :

1. The ability to set up a Wi-Fi network

2. The ability to back up to the cloud

3. Basic photo editing

4. Basic video editing

5. Google docs and Microsoft Office

6. HTML and basic coding

7. How to set up a website and domain

8. Converting file formats

9. Online banking

10. How do you brand yourself in a digital community

# data[].attributes.headline
I am keen to continue to develop my skills especially since the way ICT is being taught in schools now is changing. Therefore there is a need support students to develop a wide range of digital skills that ensure young people leaving school have the skills required by the labour market and by an increasingly digitized society.
