05 Service Providers

1. As you prepare for the Working Group Meeting 1, please look online for standards for your group around digital engagement, cyber safety and cyber wellness. We'll focus on these areas in Meeting 1.

2. Add your suggestions for Standards for Digital Citizenship in the appropriate column on the Padlet below.

During the roundtable, participants brainstormed some suggestions for possible standards for institutions. They initially used a Padlet as indicated. 

On Day 2 they used sticky notes and a robot system which were captured on a GDoc shows their group discussions and suggestions that were developed on Day 2.

Analysed Standards from Iteration 1 Brainstorm

Dr Tarling analysed the standards developed from Iteration 1 Brainstorm. The sticky notes were digitized and analysed using the digital capital map. The results for each group were then collated and plotted on the radial chart to create the map of focus areas that the initial brainstorm sessions highlighted. 

The comments around service providers, NGOs and other key supporters working in the education sector were less focused on their digital capital and more on topics related to access, provision, monitoring and evaluation, and data collection and management. Hence their digital capital map was less developed than other role players.

After the first meeting, initial, broad standards were identified and expanded. During the meeting, additional points were added for discussion and included in a growing list which lead to the development of potential level descriptors for the different standards. 

While standards for 01) Learners, 02) Educators and 03) School Leaders were generally quite adaptable to a rubric format, this was not the case for 04) Parents and Communities, 05) NGOs, supporters and volunteers, and 06) Institutions and Infrastructure. The nature of the standards for groups 4-6 was more aligned with general guidelines for good practice than a progression or continuum. It was therefore decided to not present the last three group's standards using a table / rubric format, but instead use a standard bullet point format.

Additionally, the need was expressed in Groups 4 - 6 for a toolkit, including a first aid kit, that parents, NGOs and schools could consult when they needed it. The different groups were asked to share existing ideas and documents that could be added to such a toolkit for their group, which many of them did. It was also suggested that the toolkits be shared in a central space where all schools and stakeholders from all provinces could access it in an easy and open manner.

Please use the Padlet below to post any comments, questions or suggestions about your working group or the general process that we need to be aware off. We can only improve the process with your input, and really value hearing from you!
