Well, here we are in lockdown level 4. It's a great opportunity to trial some of the digital platforms with my rangatahi. I've checked various fun webpages where studs can complete challenges and fun tasks. I've found that most activities have prebuilt coding systems so students really only have to move and connect objects to create something. I'd much rather they start with a blank canvas and build or draw their own creations or games.
I don't mind online gaming with them, as it's an awesome outcome if they're able to converse verbally online with peers, so that the oral language gets used more, rather than typed and read. So I'm going on the hunt to see what's out there.
