Impenetrable Castles.0
My friend Jana has a really in-depth blog post on the article “Sand Castles go Digital“ and after reading it, I completely agreed with her view on the considerable advantages of using technology. I’m sure as a child, we’ve all made our share of sand buildings and mud cakes that we thought were fantastic works of art, but they’e never fared well with the passage of time. I still remember building a mud cake with flowers on the top. It was my best mud cake ever.
But with the introduction and involvement of technology in children’s schools, students have the opportunity to play and experiment like they would with a sand castle, but the sand castle can be saved, edited, and showcased to a vast audience around the world! So as the article said, these “digital sand castles” can continue nurturing the child’s learning experience, where they can return and continue improving their understanding on the subject or pursuing their goal further.
