Marker- put this date in your diary
WISE KIDS are in the process of organising a National Conference
in Wales together with the Wales Internet Safety Partnership
(WISP), on young people's use of the Internet and mobile
technologies in education and other settings - exploring
opportunities and challenges. It
is anticipated that the one day interactive conference will
be held in
South Wales on
the 20th of October 2008.
The
conference will focus on raising awareness of young people's use
of Internet and mobile technologies, and will examine what
issues educators, youth professionals and policy makers need to
address to ensure that young people have the necessary skills
and knowledge to use these media confidently, and explore the opportunities these
present. Challenges
and risks associated with these media will also be discussed,
and the conference will explore the legal and safeguarding
issues that schools and other organisations need to address to
minimise risk caused by misuse of these media.
The
key strands will be around innovative use of technology in
education, children's experiences in virtual worlds, digital
literacy, e-safety - legal and good practice guidelines. It is
hoped that this conference will stimulate discussion, ideas
and concrete action
points that can help the sector move forward as a whole, in a
way that truly supports young people, and those who work with
them.
This is a cross sector conference aimed at training officers,
policy makers, educators and other professionals with an
interest in these issues. Speakers/facilitators will include the
Children's Commissioner’s office, Bebo, Habbo, BECTA, Ofcom,
WISE KIDS and MediaSnackers. It is also intended that young
people will be involved in presentations and a panel session.
