    Problems in music and drama with copyright and child protection in terms of using past classes without permission from those taking part. Lots of ideas and possibilities.

  4. 3. What support do we need? We need to change attitudes to smart phones but on the other hand how do we protect against exposure? Support needed on using the technology ie uploading, security settings. Solution is a CPD day on this and the PPA time to do this. We liked Bens idea of using students at the end of lessons as part of the plenary to up date homework etc.

  5. 2.
    I pads / windows tablets?
    Faster internet
    Allowing kids to use their phones- can they use the school WiFi?

    3.
    Training and appropriate support!
    Equipment (i pad/windows tablet) to use and play with!
    Storage capacity of devices and access to the central database, as we would make large files and docs
