A Puppy Pathway
Introducing iPad for learning requires some careful planning. Helping young children to understand their rights and responsibilities when it comes to digital devices creates a solid foundation for skills that will last a lifetime. Start the journey with your learners using the Oakley pathway. Children learn with Oakley how to look after not just the iPad but their own wellbeing too, all through interactive stories with linked resources.
