Fostering Digital Literacy and Healthy Tech Habits
Our Generation Alpha children are born into a technology-driven world. It is essential to equip them with the skills to thrive in this environment. This session, aimed at Year 1-5 parents, will explore how Junior School students use their devices and how to support them effectively. We will cover Fergus' Digital Passport to showcase how Junior School supports digital literacies, focusing on:
- Creativity
- Organisation
- Safety
- Balance
- Security
- Being a digital hero
- Becoming a digital detective
We will discuss how you can support your child at home, empowering them to take control of their digital lives. We will also demonstrate responsible and balanced technology use to guide children towards healthy digital habits.
