Parkside Adventist Christian School is working with me to reveal the mysteries of the digital technology world. It's exciting making these early steps with their staff and I recently had the pleasure of working with a senior class for the whole day and we left the timetable behind and 'played' with Scratch. We animated their names so with an example and the toolkit they were off while I simply acted as a provocateur. The outcomes were exciting, opened up a load of questions from the other children (Wow, how did you do that?), and allowed a different group of children to rise as future peer tutors. And I hear they are now using the new terminology across other learning areas, much to the delight and amazement of their teachers. Well done team.
