Shortly before the Christmas vacation break got under way, a single line of bad code at the UK's national air traffic control center left thousands of people grounded for days.

This is the week when a revolution begins to sweep through schools in England. It involves a whole new way of teaching children about computing - but I suspect many parents, and even some teachers, know very little about this important moment in education.

As children from five upwards return to school, they are going to have to start learning how to program - or to "code" to use the trendy term which seems to upset some old-school programmers. This is the result of the new national curriculum for computing that is being introduced in England this term.

New Ofsted Framework; how does your e-safety measure? Also new e-safety resources and tools – Free Update Briefings

The autumn term will again see radical change; change that will have far reaching impact on e-safety and professional responsibilities at your school, academy or organisation. The UK Safer Internet Centre is organising over 100 short briefing sessions, right across the nation, to outline these changes and their impact.

These sessions will be free to attend and will aim to last approximately 2 hours. They are primarily aimed at senior leaders and those with

a ===> safeguarding responsibility. <===

Why are these briefings important?

E-Safety is one of those areas of safeguarding that never seems desperately important until things go wrong; only then do a host of authorities appear to point out the massive gaps that you missed. The recent Serious Case Review at a North Somerset First School where a member of staff had been systematically abusing children over a period of time clearly identified the glaring gaps in online safeguarding that in hindsight are so obvious but at the time, obviously didn’t register as a cause for concern - continue reading...

Each session will include the following updates 

*** Latest technology overview; opportunities and threats:

 - Latest research conclusions
 - Ofsted frameworks (England venues)
 - Legislation update (England and Wales)
 - Latest tools and resources
 - Follow up
 - Question and Answers

Oberhaus fordert klare Neuausrichtung des derzeitigen Bildungssystems

London (pte022/18.02.2015/13:15) - Das Oberhaus des britischen Parlaments, das "House of Lords"http://parliament.uk , hat eine völlige Neuausrichtung des Bildungssystems gefordert. Ziel sei es, eine positive Entwicklung des Landes in einem konkurrierenden Umfeld. Die Politik sollte die digitale Bildung fest in den Lehrplan der Schulen integrieren.

Die Fähigkeiten im Umgang mit neuen Technologien sollten so früh wie möglich vermittelt und vom Stellenwert her gleichbedeutend mit Kernfächern wie Mathematik oder Englisch angesehen werden.
