At Park Orchards Primary School, the use of digital technologies can improve teaching and learning by motivating students with engaging, interactive and fun learning environments. It offers new avenues for meaningful communication and collaboration between teachers and students and provides students with the additional tools to develop their creativity and design thinking and become critical users of technology in an ever-changing world.
Being a Digital Citizen
The internet and online technologies are incredible tools. They provide an opportunity to communicate, learn, play and be entertained by content from around the world.
For many young people, the internet and mobile phones are their social lifeline. It's where they engage with friends out-of-school hours and keep up-to-date. For some, time away from that network can threaten their sense of connectedness to their social community. Like communicating in the real world, there are risks in interacting online. Cyberbullying, identity theft, scams and inappropriate content are some of the issues that can pose challenges for young people – from pre-schoolers who may be starting to use a computer to more experienced teens.
