This week is our back to school special. Our guest is Colette Mondor, an educator in Canada. We talk using devices, app stores and security with students. Further discussion includes the importance of teaching empathy, and the value of ensuring that your children know how to find trustworthy information online.

Get Montreal Sauce: The Wearable! For the next week we have a t-shit for sale. Get it now, it will no longer be available after the week.

• Colette believes one of the things that often gets missed when teaching with technology is digital citizenship. Of course, we all agree that many adults could use that same lesson.

• Many schools are going one to one with devices, assigning students iPads or tablets from kindergarten on. Using tablets and iPads as shared devices, with multiple classes/students, is difficult because they are meant for individuals.

• Schools can secure Google tablets & with Google Apps Device Policy but added security becomes troublesome with younger students.

• Android tablets do have multiple users but backing up user apps & data is difficult and doesn’t work well at all.

Alright, nobody is getting this reference.

Sally Ann designs clothing & accessories using ONLY recycled fabric. She sells her wares at markets and festivals with the help of her mobile boutique. You can also find her items for sale online at shopsallyann.com.
