words: digital natives
And in the beginning was skype.
Because when your child is born abroad, the first way to do it to see friends and family is obviously the webcam. And so for him to see and communicate with people using the computer immediately became the most normal thing in the world, so that when he hears the ICT which indicates that someone is connected or disconnected from skype him stop any activity in which it is immersed, the screen turns to Mac and yelling nonnaaaaa! So much so that the grandmother said, that sees almost every day so, for it is inextricably tied to the computer and when they see it live is in principal a bit 'confused.
Talking about mac discovered every day of the shortcuts that do not even suspect its existence.
La Pimpa on youtube has often been our salvation in cases of abnormal crying (and this has specific tastes, our Leopard: disgusted Teletubbies & Co., in its hot list excel Pimpa (in Italian) and Peppa Pig (in English). Maybe it has a preference for the letter P? So that's why lately shown much enthusiasm for The Arcore's Nights, Grease version of Sora Cesira on that of the P. .. Berlusca? But I'm going off topic, I know ...
better get back to his grandmother, who 1enne in question a few days ago he called with my cell phone, making them take a damn (as we say in our part), because if you live abroad does not always call it almost never Italian friends and relatives on the phone, and who knows who she thought had happened: "No, Mom, it's just Leopard that I took the phone and pressed a text with the number in memory ..." The same
does with your home phone and calls the father in the office, I begin to fear that dialing numbers at random to make me call intercontinental!
The MP3 player is brought into the car to distract him when resources are scarce to our destination to entertain (those living abroad will quickly get used to the movement, our baby has ground more miles in a year that many children of ten years in Italy, I think!). The first pictures with the digital camera the has already taken, and a very very old to play or leave it to him to distract him when you do not want to go to bed.
not think that I am not part of the creative games, manuals, physical education for a child (and he does not make them). Or that I do not ask questions and qualms on the legality, opportunity and educatività of everything. And I know that sometimes the terms of weariness and despair. But one thing I believe: that the child really the decade (and even those a bit 'older) are the first digital natives , learn first to use the computer to tie his shoes. It would be pointless to fight with all this? I think not. You know: the medium itself is neutral, it is the way you use it to make a difference. More point of trying to skim, to educate them slowly to proper use, intelligent and aware of these facilities, which they did for us expats are a godsend to keep in touch with the people we love, and how to inform tool to teach Italian to our children.
