Likewise, I think John's point is where I stand: codes of conduct/guidelines for good student and teacher use - the balance in language needs found.</p>
<p>What we did in East Lothian worked well because it was about doing things better first, with the IT teams working exceptionally hard in terms of training to make sure it was done safer, too.

If the code of conduct is for the children publishing, I'd rather set targets for the children to aim for rather than a list of don'ts. (But <br />
I might have the wrong end of the conversation here).</p>Andrew the great commented on '"It's not about shutting things down"'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200e54f7db5b788332007-11-08T20:45:30Z2007-11-08T20:45:30ZAndrew the greatI agree with what she has to say.
