Technologies in primary
Recording device • Cameras (kids don’t call them digital so why

What the research says
• Learners engage with technology and over 4 years this engagement does not diminish
• Learners consume content but also comment and create .• Learners take technology and deploy it in ways you wont
envisage • Learners share what they create with each other and there
families• Teachers are more likely to damage lose valuable equipment • Parents are prepared to support learners in using devices or
purchasing them • Digital awareness is something that should be engaged with
early and reviewed and you as teachers should be educated to
