CREATING CREATIVE CHILDREN - DIGITAL SCRAPBOOK

What does the Digital Scrapbook have to offer to our children? Is it really important? Put most directly, what does the Digital Scrapbook have to teach? Join me on a brief excursion.

First, the Digital Scrapbook teaches children to exercise the most exquisite of capacities; the ability to make judgments in the absence of rules. There is so much in school that emphasises fealty to rules. The rules that the Digital Scrapbook obeys are located in our children's emotional interior; children come to feel a rightness of fit among the qualities with which they work. There is no rule book to provide recipes or algorithms to calculate conclusions. They must exercise judgment by looking inside themselves.

A second lesson the Digital Scrapbook teaches children is that problems can have more than one solution. This too is at odds with the use in our schools of multiple choice tests in which there are no multiple correct answers. The tacit lesson is that there is, almost always, a single correct answer. It's seldom that way in life.

A third lesson is that aims can be held flexibly; in the Digital Scrapbook the goal one starts with can be changed midway in the process as unexpected opportunities arrive. Flexibility yields opportunities for surprise. "Creative creation loves chance. Creative thinking abhors routine."

The Digital Scrapbook also teaches that neither words nor numbers define the limits of our cognition; we know more than we can tell. There are many experiences and a multitude of occasions in which we need graphics and art forms to say what literal language cannot say. The Digital Scrapbook can provide forms of communication that convey to others what is ineffable.

Finally, the digital scrapbook is about joy. They are about the experience of being moved, of having one's life enriched, of discovering our capacity to feel.

ABOUT US
  Kidz-Online has three basic concepts.  
  > Games  
  > Exploratory Learning  
  > Digital Scrapbook  
NOT YOUR CONVENTIONAL DAY-TO-DAY LESSON
 

Children do not become adults through some mechanical or automated process. They are "created" through social interaction so what happens in schools, one of the places where children spend a lot of time, is crucially important.

"One of the casualties of our preoccupation with test scores is the presence of the computer lessons in our school/home. When they do appear, they are usually treated as additional rather than substantive aspects of our children's learning experience. The experiences and activities in computers are considered nice but not necessary.

Kidz-Online is a series of software, based on the thematic learning approach. It is a seriously designed program for young children. It has three simple parts: Games, Exploratory learning and Digital Scrapbooks. Each month, the subscribed young learners will be given a Kidz-Online book. Children will enjoy and learn the activities with minimal guidance from teachers and parents. They will be able to enhance different technological skills with computers and explore information through games and activities.
