Role in the classroom

Introducing digital platforms early on will give more time for educators to explain to students how digital media is used and why it is important.

As online learning continues to expand students need to be able to understand digital platforms and create their own platforms.

Educators can teach critical literacy to expand learning for children to move to a digital setting

Why use this?

Learning these platforms allows students to be creative and apply different types of learning and showing their learning throughout their lives

Through their schooling online platforms will continue to change. Having tools to be able to understand and explore digital platforms will help as students move throughout their career.

Working through thinking

Evaluating and applying: Using their knowledge and what they have discovered to be able to decode digital platforms.

Interpreting information:Using their learning to understand their findings and interpret how they can use it

Gathering and organizing information: Putting together what is learned to wonder about the topic

Asking questions:Beginning with what they want to know and why they need to know it.
