Digital tools - comparison chart
What Is missing for POLs ?
• Where is the real opportunity for community?
• Where is the real opportunity for their content?
• Suitable for localised training and employment context and mapping the availability of employers
• How accessible multi-media (literacy needs ?)
M
The successful application of new ideas generated at the intersection of insight and invention, which leads to the creation of social or economic value
Insight understanding the context, histories and work of others
Invention finding and developing the best ideas
Application putting ideas into practice
Value capturing outcomes, impact and learning
But technology ‘solutions’ which don’t bring about
social innovation are hollow.

Our assumptions
• If Marginalised Young People have an insight and understanding of how skills relate to the actual work place, they will be motivated to engage and take responsibility for learning new skills.
• If Marginalised Young People are involved in co-designing Work Related Learning activities, the online community and digital CVs, they will learn and develop new skills.
• If Marginalised Young People have Digital CVs they will be
better equipped to demonstrate their skills and talents to employers – in comparison to using conventional CVs.
• If Marginalised Young People have access to an online network
of peers, adults and resources, they will have more successful transitions from school-to-work.

What does this chasm feel like ? • Living with this ambiguity • Living with teacher’s insecurity • Living with the challenge of YP’s chaos • Living with the ‘window’ closing (before
people say you are wrong!)

GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS WHICH ARE WRONG !
PUSHED OUT LEARNERS ARE “TROUBLE” BECAUSE THEY CAN’T LEARN
THE FUNCTION OF SCHOOLS IS TO OFFER A BROAD EDUCATION, PREPARE
STUDENTS FOR EXAMINATIONS, UNIVERSITY AND PROFESSIONAL CAREERS
WE KNOW WHAT TEENAGERS NEED, BECAUSE WE WERE YOUNG ONCE.
THE MASSIVE COMMERCIAL INVESTMENT
MUST BE MAKING IT MORE EFFECTIVE
THE NEW DRIVE TO IMPROVE CAREERS
EDUCATION WITHIN SCHOOLS AND NEW
ONLINE TOOLS WILL MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE
