Using iPads & Tablets the Right Way

Learning through play: A parents’ how-to webinar

Turn screen time into learning time.

In this practical, friendly session, Ruth Lue-Quee teams up with edtech expert Martin Bailey to share simple steps, proven apps and playful ideas that boost your child’s creativity, problem-solving and early coding skills on iPad or tablet - without the doom-scroll.

Who this is for

Parents and carers of children roughly ages 2–8. No tech expertise is needed. If you’ve ever thought “I don’t even know what they should be on,” this is for you!

What you’ll learn

Safety first (made simple):
The must-know device settings and parental controls so your child’s tablet is set up safely in minutes.

From consumer to creator:
How to choose purposeful apps where children make, design, explore and code. Not just watch...

Curriculum-boosting ideas:

• English: Make digital storybooks, build vocabulary and support early writing (yes, stylus pens can help!).

• Maths: Try interactive, creative maths tools that make number sense click.

• Computational Thinking: Discover playful ways to introduce sequencing, pattern-spotting and problem-solving. The very first steps in coding.

• Coding through play: Explore age-appropriate apps that teach coding without words by using games, characters and stories to build logic and creativity.

• Animation & oracy: Use simple animation and coding tools to get children talking, planning and explaining. Key skills for computational thinking and communication.

Age-right choices:
Exactly which types of apps suit different ages and stages, including lovely online-safety storybooks and early coding games for under-5s.

Your new screen-time routine:
Swap the default YouTube spiral for short, engaging learning sessions your child will ask for.

What’s included

✅ Step-by-step setup demo: Quick wins to lock in safety and calm.
✅ The App Shortlist: A curated list of recommended downloads. They will be clearly labelled by age, subject and learning goal (including coding).
✅ Recording access: Rewatch anytime so you can follow along at your own pace.
✅ Freebie: Download Guide - Move Your Child from Digital Consumer to Creator (prompts + app ideas for creativity and coding).
