ICT Risk Management &
Digital Wellbeing in Schools
An evidence-based teaching portfolio exploring student safety, copyright compliance and policy-guided professional practice.
Overview
Teaching safely and ethically with digital technology
Digital technologies can strengthen collaboration, critical thinking and student engagement, but access to technology does not automatically improve learning or social outcomes.
At Aurevian College, a fictional secondary school, Bring Your Own Device arrangements, generative AI, social media and mobile access create valuable learning opportunities while also increasing risks to student wellbeing, privacy and institutional compliance. Educators must balance the pedagogical value of digital platforms with their duty of care, professional responsibilities and legal obligations. Effective risk management requires teachers to navigate verified local procedures, current Victorian Department of Education policies and national legislation.
Academic context. This website was developed as a university assessment for EDF5861. Aurevian College is fictional.
