How could ICT at school be more like at home?

• Boy, 17: I believe that schools should take advantage of the ICT technologies that most students have at home to a greater extent. For instance they should use face book to keep students connected to each other and to the school such as teachers. Video games could also be used by schools to assist learning. Games can get kids interested in what they are learning, they also present the information in a more hands on way then a book alone.

• Girl, 10: let us play games in our free time (at breaks etc...)• Girl, 10: they could install programs on moodle which are like games• Boy, 17: Yes. Allow students to learn on their own, don't set a plan

for learning. Let students find websites and resources on their own and make it less of a chore to do assignments.

• Boy, 16: I believe that my school should lower its restrictions on schools computer access, because the filter that blocks websites is a double-edged sword. I understand that my school blocks certain websites that may be distracting (eg. gaming websites), but some websites that could be utilized by myself and other students are blocked as well for no apparent reason. I would like my school to either lower the restrictions or use a different filter than can be configured much more easily than our current one.

What do teachers know?

What do you think is the biggest danger to which primary age pupils are exposed through their use of the Internet?

What single step could a primary school take to reduce the risk of this?
