1. Introducing eSmart

2. eSmart is… a system to assist schools to change the culture and behaviours in relation to the use of digital technologies. ●a whole-school approach ●embraces technology’s benefits ●reduces students’ and teachers’ exposure to risk

3. The eSmart system Provides a roadmap to the best existing cybersafety and wellbeing websites and programs and relates each resource to an aspect of the eSmart Schools Framework © 2011 The Alannah and Madeline Foundation

4. A flexible system ●Schools adapt the eSmart Schools Framework for their own specific needs, whether primary, secondary, metropolitan and country, government, independent or Catholic. ●eSmart provides useful gap analysis for schools that have already done lots on cybersafety, and guidance to those that have not yet started on the journey. © 2011 The Alannah and Madeline Foundation

5. Record and track progress ●The eSmart system provides an online tool for schools to record and track their progress in implementing the eSmart Schools Framework - providing evidence that they are actively implementing smart, safe and responsible polices and procedures. ●Schools that complete implementation of the strategies under the framework are awarded eSmart status. © 2011 The Alannah and Madeline Foundation

6. eSmart background The Alannah and Madeline Foundation (AMF) and the National Centre Against Bullying (NCAB): ●Recognised the need to address a new trend: The shift of bullying campaigns to cyberspace ●Consulted and conducted an international literature review; schools’ needs analysis; and qualitative study (contracted RMIT School of Education/Dr Helen McGrath).

7. The National Pilot ●eSmart piloted in 159 Australian schools (with funding from DEEWR) ●Schools included: ●primary, secondary and K-12, ●representing the Government, Catholic and Independent school sectors; and ●spread across metropolitan, regional and remote locations of Australia. ●The pilot was independently evaluated by Prof. Donna Cross’ highly regarded team at the Child Health Promotion Research Centre at Edith Cowan University.

8. Pilot results ●The response of schools participating in the National Pilot was overwhelmingly positive. ●98% of schools reported that eSmart is a very effective approach to cybersafety and wellbeing in schools and nearly 100% recommended eSmart be rolled out to all schools. ●96% of school staff interviewed reported they would recommend eSmart to other schools. Schools reported eSmart prompted action in cybersafety that they would otherwise not have undertaken. 100% of schools reported the six domains of the Framework were consistent or very consistent with their current school policy and practices and eSmart was compatible with their school’s priorities, culture and student needs. Schools were very satisfied with both the eSmart Schools Framework and the way it was presented on the internet. Schools were happy with the support provided by the Foundation’s schools liaison team; particularly the help desk.

28. Choose which domain attribute you wish to work in.

29. Every domain attribute has a page like this. Start working in the planning phase. Work through step 1 and 2. Review the resources, case studies and tools, and use as appropriate to complete your eSmart activities.

30. Once you’ve completed the specified actions and can meet the criteria, check the ‘yes’ option in step 3. (Your school may already have done this work prior to joining eSmart. That’s ok – you don’t have to do it again, but do confirm that it’s done.) Access evidence- informed resources, case studies and tools useful to this domain attribute here.

31. When you confirm ‘yes’ in step 3 the result will be shown in this progress tracker.

32. Copy… As you complete all planning activities for each domain attribute, the graph on the system tool home page shows your progress.

33. You can access a more detailed summary of your progress through this button. Print or copy and share with your school team.

34. Every domain attribute has a link to a dedicated page like this with a list of relevant resources (hyperlinked to the original source.)
