How to educate Amazon children?

"Amazon children, as I affectionately call them, are those children who are becoming impatient consumers, who want everything now; they want to share content now, they want to see their homework on their mother's mobile, for them there are almost no barriers.

"Amazon children, as I affectionately call them, are those children who are becoming impatient consumers, who want everything now; they want to share content now, they want to see their homework on their mother's mobile phone, for them there are almost no barriers. I think it is important that these children who want everything immediately and at the click of a button, let us know from home as a challenge to educate in the value of waiting, that they know that not everything in life works at the click of a button".

María Zalbidea, the creator of the blog "The Family", spoke to the families about this and other issues yesterday. Bridging the Digital Divide and trend analyst at C4E. He addressed issues of digital identity and offered advice on how to reconcile education with the technological environment.  

Some were: 

  • Try not to give too much information about location or time in photos of our children. 
  • Get into the habit of asking our friends for permission to share photos with more children in them and demand that they ask for it. 
  • Be careful not to show pictures of our children in the bath or without clothes.
  • Do not label with name and surname.  
  • Seek frequent moments of digital disconnection.
  • Rediscovering the value of silence. 
  • Learn to see technology as an opportunity, not an enemy.  
  • Be aware that we are educating a multi-screen generation.

The school thanks María Zalbidea for her willingness to teach us how to take better care of these aspects and to offer us a positive vision of technology and the digital world in which we live.
