Supporting information about the survey is also provided. The questions covered the topics of e-safety, cyberbullying, pupil use of mobile phones and social networking. We present the results by school phase (primary and secondary) in the main body of the report, and provide a regional breakdown of data in the appendix. More detailed analysis is available on a set of interactive web-based tables produced separately (in Pulsar Web). The report commissioned by the Department for Education's Vital Programme (delivered by the Open University) and compiled by NFER will be used to inform communications about teachers' professional development and content for courses as Vital aims to help educational establishments use IT to add value to lessons and find new ways to engage learners. A Vital role is to support teachers in extending and sharing their expertise, and re-taking ownership of teaching as a discipline. Michael Gove recently commented: One of the greatest changes can be seen in the lives of children and young people, who are at ease with the world of technology and who communicate, socialise and participate online effortlessly. Clearly, schools have an important role to play in introducing children and young people to technology and teaching them to navigate it and capitalise on the opportunities it offers in a safe way. As the use of technology increases -- and use of the internet and smartphones (among 12 -- 15 year olds) has increased since 2010 according to OFCOM2 -- it becomes ever more important to ensure that teachers are equipped to teach e-safety skills to pupils. The survey data that we have collected provides a nationally representative snapshot of teachers' views about e-safety. Details: Slough, U.K.: National Foundation for Educational Research, 2012. 65p.
