With the growth of mobile devices it has become imperative that schools must support our young people to become responsible global digital citizens.  This information graphic captures some startling statistics based on a Facebook survey.

Schools are being challenged to develop policies for classroom and playground use for devices like smartphones and Internet connected iPads.  Adopting the “blanket ban” on the use of digital tools at school has failed.

We need to leverage the new technology for learning and, in particular, teach our young people how to be responsible users whilst we have them in an environment where they can safely “experiment”.  The digital behaviours learned at school will, hopefully, stay with them when outside school.
