Digital Literacy Lessons - Term 2, Week 1


It was lovely to welcome Prep, Year 1 and Year 2 Students to Digital Literacy lessons this week.


Our focus was on:

• Active Listening behaviours

• Responsible computer lab use

• The parts of a computer 

After learning about the parts of a computer and how each part worked, we played a game on BBC Schools. We had to collect the objects that could be connected to a computer.

I look forward to seeing you all next week!
