Advice and recommendations

  • federated identity management - building on me and incorporating open identity standards
  • guidelines and examples of ICT governance in schools
  • pointing to models of using devices students already own - limitations, benefits, risks
  • a collaborative blog similar to OLDaily with Australian content
  • advocacy for un-metered high speed broadband Australian network for education and training
  • copyright policy information with help and templates for educators in the type of licenses they can ascribe for others to use
  • support for edna pre-service teacher education ICT initiatives recognising current gaps in provision by both universities and schools
  • further work in content ratings and links to national school curriculum
  • further national information on jurisdiction content access and filtering policies, starting with a national audit
