absolutely no evidence of impact on
student achievement. Actually, what
we found was there was evidence
of no impact on student
achievement.There were as many
schools where putting in
whiteboards had made things
worse, as there were where they
made things better.”

22. The Rose Review
“Along with literacy, numeracy and
personal development, ICT should
therefore be at the core of the primary
curriculum and be taught both discretely
to capture its essential knowledge and
skills and through its application across
the whole curriculum.”

78. “For young people, the primary
technology-related threat is not
the ‘stranger danger’ hyped by
the mass media but technology-
mediated sexual pressure from
their peers.“

79. “For example, rarely did children express to us
any concern about inappropriate sexual
approaches from strangers (and when they did,
they seemed able quickly to brush off the approach
as from a ‘weirdo’, ‘pervert’ or ‘paedo’). Rather, the
problems posed by sexting come from their
peers – indeed, from their ‘friends’ in their social
networks, thus rendering much commonplace
advice (about being careful who you contact, or
keeping your profile private) beside the point. “

qualitative study of children, young people and ‘sexting’.
