HI Sabrina,
Welcome to the online part of this course. I often find myself getting annoyed at those who argue that ‘screen time’ is a reason why digital technologies should be limited in primary schools. In reality, ‘screen time’ (for some) has become a term to associate with the negative aspects of technologies (gaming, social media, watching YouTube videos, etc.). However, there is so much learning that can happen on ‘screens’. We can provide children with learning experiences which extend the breadth of their knowledge and allow them to develop new skills. Another key note is that of digital citizenship and the ethical use of digital technologies – being able to incorporate this into school practices heightens the chances of children making good decisions online.
