Using the Technology generator

The Technology generator covers device functions, ordered steps, logic, digital safety, ethics and introductory data concepts. It is especially useful as a discussion starter because practical digital rules can differ between homes and schools. Edit examples so they match devices and situations the child actually knows.

Things to consider

  • Use consistent names for the devices available in the child’s environment.
  • For safety topics, identify the trusted adults a child can approach.
  • Combine written questions with sequencing or logic activities that do not require a device.

Follow-up idea

After the worksheet, practise one concept: write an ordered instruction, identify personal information or explain the function of a tool. The goal is to understand the reason behind a safe habit rather than memorise rules.
