‘..return and restoration of childhood
before the fall...the continued crisis in
early print literacy has become a default
stalling tatic by educational systems that
are unable to come to grips with
generationally and practically with
multiliteracies and increasingly alien and
alienated student bodies.’ (Luke & Luke,
2001)

‘The innocent childhood no longer
exists - this is the world in which
early adolescents are already forming
identities, acquiring knowledge of
their community and learning to
participate in civic life. This the world
of increasing ‘risk’ at all levels’
(Carrington, 2006, p. 14).

How can you build
on the work of the PY3-5TA
to correct the amnesia?
The risks associated with early
years, middle years and senior
years are constantly before us.
So, what are the risks associated
with forgetting Years 3, 4 and 5?

Research conducted by Institute of Education’s London Knowledge Lab, across 2007- 2008
Most school use: information and picture retrieval
Most home use: games, chatting, digital photography and email
Passive consumption dominant mode of engagement
most exciting - games - and least exciting - work

recognised complexity and inequities across schools
‘...a need for genuinely learner-driven methods to be used which can provide young people with sufficient space to think about and reflect on their ICT use’ (Cranmer, Potter & Selwyn, 2008, p.41)

Comber, B., Nixon, H. & Pitt, J (2002)
What was working for young people:
“...children had access to and appropriated many literate practices and learning strategies that their teachers modelled and made important. We saw children emerging as strategic learners with skills and dispositions that should stand them in good stead...’
For ongoing reflection and strategic work:
equity and access to literate practices that count
respect for diversity and anticipation of needs of those in poverty
develop capacity for critique

We are at the very beginning of a new market -- we have products customers see value in, creators who love what they are doing, and a path to making sure that people can pay for it all to keep going. With a little foresight and planning between the incumbents and the start-ups, we can ensure we have the opportunity to keep it this growing this way.

Participatory culture (Jenkins, 2005) appears to emerge as a particularly significant factor in the lives of contemporary children in Years 3, 4 and 5.Across new digital experiences, creation and collaboration we can see the development of new media literacies and movement beyond familiar home and school environments and communication practices.

Discourses of risk: students in Years 3, 4 and 5 are at risk of being ‘virtually forgotten’
Need to match the intensity and scope of big business and technological innovations
