What Works for ‘Digikids?” Hands on activities every time! Have fun- this way the learning sticks! Give kids the ‘tools’ to do it themselves- with our

support Use the ‘tools’ the kids enjoy- (scary for us ) Digital cameras, photo story, computers, ipad,

DVD etc Make our kids the ‘teachers’ of others-

empowering- techie Kids in schools Include oral language, reading & writing in the

tasks we provide Use these digital tools to record student

progress- via camera, photo story, easi speak etc.

Talk with them, Read to them, Write with them constantly

Use your ‘ICT conscience’

Check - school policy around taking photos- permission may be needed or withheld for some studentsRespect- be aware of cultural differences around use of imagesCopyright- Google images are subject to copyright- unless you search for non copyright ones. If using them you need to tag where they are fromCopies- Check with school/ teacher if the student wants to take a copy home- photos may include other children. Use caution around ownership: Read fine print … ‘Forever is a long, long time!’Delete it/ give it to the student/ family. Erase copies off camera and computer

There is no way around it we need to live in their world
