The divided line

My worries about how we handle Information and communication technology (ICT) for both own children and professionally.

Kindergartens and schools are searching for the right ways to handle ICT, schools are finding it hard to find apps for iPads or other devices they have the same for kindergartens. The biggest risk is how screen time is used and what I call passive use the sort that just gets time floating bye. Going toward more finding solutions and learning how IT can be used as an tool to find out learning something. We are often lost when facing new things and that's what I'm experiencing with ICT in my work all the loose ends and some of them is growing to be a security risk now we should take kontroll this is to be a tool not a big part of what children do. Playing games can be fun and some studies shows it develops us in some ways it is also addicting and makes us less social face to face, yes we can play with others online but that just doesn't have the same effect as interacting with someone live.

The seed has been planted but we can't just hope it grows there needs to be something done and that something needs to be the right things, not just in some direction.

Animation made to learn how.

four years old child made this together with me with the purpose to learn how the hands dosn't show when the animation is made. The hands yes how do they disappear that is something parents wonder about.

More then animations.

I have always used IT equipment in different purposes before we started making animations. Drawing some educating games searching for information and other things. Also educating parents in there obligation to supervise their children's use of different media age restrictions should be enforced and some things just don't make sense don't go there. Control that some things could be educating and have some purpose. There are times when fun must be allowed and supervised free time on computer, tablet ore other mediadevice must be granted.

Content is inportant

The App is important and what if it the App makes the user passive and by that I mean that the learning process is not supported by the activity provided. The meaning when using computer or tablet is setting up a goal and how to reach the goal can be decided by the child/children in the group. The Application used can not set boundarys but support the structure and help childrens fantasy and open mindnes we should secure this forse. Give your self the time it takes trye fail and do it again.
