Here is the complete Interview that I took part in at the recent UK Internet Safety Centre eSafety Live Events in Edinburgh. I was being interviewed by a group of young people from St Paul's Primary School in Edinburgh as part of their on-going work with Radio Waves. I think they did a great job of interviewing and also editing the video.
The main point that I was trying to make is that in 2012 should we really still be talking about ‘eSafety’? Shouldn’t safety in the digital word be integrated into part of the normal safe and responsible use messages that we give to children and young people to support them in other aspects of learning and growing up?
In fact the ‘e’ has been bothering me on a lot of words recently…. eSafety, eAssessment, eLearning, ePortfolio, eModeration etc…
It seems to me that in 2012 technology has successfully infiltrated every aspect of our lives apart from our schools. What we should actually be talking about is safety, assessment, learning, portfolio and moderation that is fit for purpose and a modem era. Digital is not just part of this solution and it can't be seen as an optional extra it has to be fully integrated.
Anyway, the full interview from St Paul's Primary School below...
