Digital wellbeing

Young people are growing up in a world where technology has always been present for them, which can have a positive and negative impact on their lives.

Digital wellbeing is about how the internet and technology can make us feel. This includes recognising the impact being online can have on:

  • Our emotions,
  • Mental health and wellbeing
  • Physical health and wellbeing.

Technology and the internet should be there to enhance and simplify our lives rather than be a cause of distraction, worry or upset.

However, not all online experiences are positive for young people, and this can have a negative impact on how they feel about themselves, their friendships and relationships and even how they see the wider world.

Digital Competence Framework for Educators (DigCompEdu) | INTERNATIONAAL

The teaching professions face rapidly changing demands, which require a new, broader and more sophisticated set of competences than before. The ubiquity of digital devices and applications requires educators to develop their digital competence.

The European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu) is a scientifically sound framework describing what it means for educators to be digitally competent. It provides a general reference frame to support the development of educator-specific digital competences in Europe.

DigCompEdu is directed towards educators at all levels of education, from early childhood to higher and adult education, including general and vocational education and training, special needs education, and non-formal learning contexts.

This framework is based on work carried out by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), on behalf of the Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC).

Ranswomware increasingly targets schools. Ready? | HP

IMPLEMENT BASIC SECURITY PRACTICES

Schools should take these defensive steps:

Patch vulnerabilities quickly.

Update antivirus software and anti-phishing tools. These can prevent credential reuse and detect compromised passwords, and that stops breaches before they begin.

Segment networks to prevent lateral attacker movement.

Audit logs to monitor who accesses the system.

If all else fails: Be sure you can recover. Offline backups are the most effective way to recover from a ransomware attack. Regularly back up data, air gap, and password-protect backup copies. Basic security behaviors can help schools recover from loss of access to records and systems. However, they do little to mitigate the ongoing damage of student-record data theft. Student records can sell for as much as US$350 each, potentially leading to fraud, identity theft, and other unwanted consequences.

How are schools using print?


While in some ways, schools’ printer use hasn’t changed much over the years, blended classrooms are creating new roles for these devices. This change means that school systems need to adjust their printer policies to benefit teachers, administrators, students, and parents—as well as the school budgets.

From makeshift to modern | HP


Upgrade your ed tech from makeshift to modern. From newer devices to better connectivity, students and parents depend on schools to help close the learning gap.
Online teaching is a different skill set than live classroom teaching—not just in instructional technique, but also in technology expertise. It’s hard enough to be an effective digital educator. But many teachers feel burned out—especially veteran teachers whose experience has all been in traditional settings.

Want to learn how you can deploy technology that supports all students in their education journey?
