In his book 2004 ' Distraction ', author Mark Curtis argued that our sense of self - or personal identity - can become confused or challenged when we habitually use digital technology.

Those of us who are immersed in a world where the use of social media is so sustained, embedded and familiar, forget that many schools still ban the use of Web 2.0 Common sense indeed, but I would also add that schools should encourage and permit children to help teachers co-create the e-safety and school policies on social media use.

While we are going through transitions in pedagogical practices, or technology driven innovation, there will always be casualties. Or, in most cases, teachers adopt the new ideas, but not wholeheartedly, and only casually apply them. Many teachers welcome change, but don't want to change themselves. We need to look after each other.

Before the digital age, we had mass media to do the job - TV, radio and newspapers and prior to that, more primitive technologies were employed to spread news.
