Using Touch Technologies in Healthy + Helpful Ways
Discover healthy, safe and even educational ways to use touch
devices with young children, so that you can eradicate your ‘technoguilt’ & confusion once and for all...
Young children confidently swipe, tap and pinch touch devices like
iPhones and iPads (often before they’ve learnt to tie their shoelaces
or ride a bicycle). And parents and educators are scrambling to
keep up. We’re bamboozled.
This workshop will help you feel confident about how to use iPads in
healthy & helpful ways with young children (and minimise any possible
harmful effects).
What We’ll Explore...
This workshop helps parents & educators
make sense of young child’s digital
world, with a particular focus on how to
use touch devices (like iPads & iPhones)
in healthy, safe and educational ways
(yes, these devices can be educational if
they’re used the right way).
Participants will be armed with evidencebased information so that they can make
informed decisions about how they’ll
leverage these technologies in their
homes & classrooms…without any guilt or
confusion.

presentation, leading children’s
