The ‘Net effect’
How the Internet changes the equation...• Disinhibition: Lack of visual cues reduces empathy• Persistence & searchability: Net as permanent searchable
archive• Replicability: ability to copy and paste from anywhere, to
anywhere• Scalability: high potential visibility• Invisible audiences: you never know who’s watching• Blurring of public and private: boundaries not clear

For pupils…
• Increased motivation, as they have an audience for their work in a school in another country
• Enhanced key skills, including ICT use, communication and foreign language skills
• Greater cultural awareness through direct contact with peers in other countries.
• Sharing and comparing online safety resources
• Digital skills
• Discussion and debate on some key issues surrounding social media and the internet
For school staff…
• Direct contact with education professionals in another European country.
• An awareness of teaching and/or management approaches used in another country.
• Sharing and celebration of your own professional expertise and experience.
• Professional dialogue with like minded colleagues.
• Appropriate and alternative resources to develop digital literacy and safety skills.
• Opportunities to share existing good practice.
“I have read and understood.....”
Opportunities…Make sure you have a reasonable and manageable number of contacts in your list.
Ensure that the pictures and the files you upload do not infringe any copyright.
Inappropriate comments are not permitted and are subject to reporting.
• This is a means of communication that is very familiar to most young people.
