Introduction (3 minutes)
Content: Brief presentation of the topic “responsible use of devices” and an explanation of digital etiquette rules.
Participation: Guided discussion with students, asking for examples of how they use tablets at home or at school.
Time: 3 minutes
Process: Brainstorming with spontaneous responses, encouraging active participation through simple questions and visual examples on screen.
Stations: 10 minutes to rotate through all stations (3 minutes in each one)
The audience can explore any of the stations in a random order, freely choosing where to start and the sequence in which to continue, allowing them to experience activities with Bee-Bot, Dash, and digital book creation.
Station 1: Bee-Bot Robot
Content: Follow a programmed path to reach different points where they will discover messages or images related to proper device use.
Participation: Each student programs one movement of the Bee-Bot to advance along the path.
Process: Turn-based dynamics, collaborative work, immediate feedback (“Did it reach the correct point? Which rule did we find?”).
Achievement:promotes the development of critical thinking, the ability to follow instructions and decision-making in a fun and meaningful way, connecting learning to learners and sparking their curiosity.
Station 2: Dash Robot
Content: Solve a maze in which Dash must reach cards displaying digital etiquette rules.
Participation: In teams, children propose instructions for Dash to navigate the maze and find the rules.
Process: Trial-and-error approach, brief group discussion (“What happens if it turns left? Will it reach it?”). Promotes decision-making and critical thinking.
Achievement:promotes the development of critical thinking, the ability to follow instructions and decision-making in a fun and meaningful way, connecting learning to learners and sparking their curiosity.
Station 3: Digital Book with Book Creator
Content: Create a digital book that compiles the rules discovered in the previous stations.
Participation: Students decide which drawings, photos, or recordings to include on each page.
Process: Creative and collaborative activity; students select images, dictate sentences, and the teacher assists in organizing the content within the app.
Achievement: Develop creativity by creating and personalizing their digital book through basic app management, understand etiquette rules, and are introduced to the concept of "digital citizenship".
Closure (2 minutes)
Content: Quick presentation of the completed digital book and review of the digital etiquette rules.
After this session, participants will be able to identify and apply fundamental digital etiquette rules for the responsible use of devices, program robots such as Bee-Bot and Dash to address challenges related to these rules, and demonstrate their understanding by creating a digital book using Book Creator. Educators will gain practical strategies to integrate Bee-Bot, Dash, and Book Creator into classroom activities, implementing meaningful, developmentally appropriate experiences that foster creativity, collaboration, and responsible technology use in preschool students.
Today’s children are fully immersed in digital tools, surrounded by devices at home and at school, including tablets, smart TVs, and gaming consoles. While early exposure to technology can present challenges to cognitive development, this session demonstrates how these tools can be used safely and educationally, allowing children to engage interactively, spark their curiosity, and understand digital etiquette.
Participants will also develop key skills, including critical thinking, decision-making, collaboration, and creativity, culminating in a collective digital resource that reinforces learning and promotes responsible technology use from an early age.
