Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
It was clear from speaking to sixth-formers recently at Hills Road Sixth Form College in Cambridge that one of the ways to most engage them in this important work is through teaching them how to create better online content. By teaching journalism, we can teach them how to critically think, how to research, how to write for an audience, how to work in teams and how to get noticed. By teaching the skills of the influencer, we can influence them to be more discerning and more informed consumers of online content, but that all needs their phones to be in the classroom.
