Open & Accountable
Dec 13th, 2007 by alexanderhayes
We live in an age where to be public means to be accountable.
We all understand bullying, harrassment and cyber-bullying as no more nor less than those taunts we endured as children in the school grounds or perhaps on the way out from them.
There is no place for randoms indiscriminately targeting others nor using tactics to get a point across behind faceless and false email identities. Robyn and I have raised this as one of the first points of call in establishing a community accord for our wiki with NSW LearnScope, allowing others to contribute to understandings of the use of online spaces and places……..guidelines rather than rules.
Sporadically, those challenged by our mandate to progress the use of information communication technologies in educational organizations have “fronted” up to our challenges and some have not.
I consider randoms, have not’s and whatevers to be gutless. Just phone us directly, leave your name and email address and speak to us.
We are accountable, employed to challenge and to persist. We are educators who care, who critically analyse protocol and who challenge the status quo.
We need to. It’s important to us to find ways forward.
We are listening.
