The effects of social media on

progression

This work is the direct result of

the last TMHavering

Penny Patterson did a

presentation on Safer Internet

Day

Why?

There is a worry that the new

computing curriculum will force

out some non coding activities

& subjects. Therefore, some

topics need to be found other

slots in the curriculum

Destination Data – Effect on

school recruitment

Effect on pupil career path

Effect on emotional wellbeing

of pupils

Do pupils/parents/staff

understand what the school

social media policy means?

Why teachers need to be aware of the effects of social media activity

So how does social media have an effect?

You can and should supplement your

background checks with a web search. Since

anyone can enter anything they want on a

social network profile, doing a Google search

is not a source of trustworthy information

about a potential employee’s background.

However, the web search is a great

supplement to background checks because

you can obtain insight into who the person is

and what types of things they blog about or

write on their profiles.
