What Really Matters when buying a Laptop? A student guide
Choosing the correct laptop for college can be a very daunting experience, particularly when a budget dictates your choices. It is more than just a computer; it is a primary tool for research, writing, communication, and often, entertainment, with a dizzying array of options, knowing which features to prioritise will ensure you get a reliable device that lasts through your academic year or two, without breaking the bank. Technology and devices require updates so often, in my experience, that where possible they should be replaced every two years if it is financially viable for you to do so.
Children and Technology: Life in a busy household, & balancing work in the Digital Age
In an increasingly connected world, technology has become an inescapable part of our daily lives, and for today's children, it is a native environment. The "digital natives" of Generation Alpha are growing up with tablets, smartphones, and smart devices as their first toys. This raises a critical question for parents, educators, and society: what is the true impact of technology on children, and how do we ensure they thrive - not just survive - in this digital age; without invading their privacy and with a promise of Digital Learning and Connection.
