Hi Roisin,
In today’s world, children are almost universally motivated by screens and digital technologies. It permeates their world and is all around them. Tapping into this from an education point of view can be very valuable as it can really appeal to their interests and motivate them. Creating a clear divide between how technologies are used at home and at school is really important, and should formulate an important part of the early use of digital devices. Engagement in CPD in this area is so important, as changes are coming on board so rapidly (as you have referred to).
