Teaching in digital spaces requires/allows students to develop their digital literacy.
You can scaffold this, or learn alongside them.

Digital and online tools allow teachers to monitor student
work, progress and engagement in new and different ways.

TOP TIPS:• Ask students to use their first
name only in online profiles• Get students to make an ‘avatar’
that isn’t a photo of them• Promote student use/knowledge of
school email addresses• Set boundaries for when you will
be responding online.

BONUS SLIDE!“How do I convince my HoD to let me use online sites when school policy discourages this?”
1. Find evidence that a teacher at another school has been allowed to do it.
2. Explain how your school’s public profile will benefit from demonstrating innovative pedagogy.
3. Create the blog/wiki before you ask them – it will be harder for them to refuse you if you’ve already put the work in ;)
4. Present a plan for sending information and/or permission notes home to parents.
