Childhood is changing.
Contemporary childhoods require contemporary literacies.
Today’s children are growing up in a world filled with videos, apps, games, images and online spaces.
Before they fully understand how technology works, they are already learning from YouTube, communicating through emojis, watching short-form videos, playing online games and interacting with digital media every day.
These experiences are now part of childhood. Helping children navigate them thoughtfully requires more than knowing how to use technology. It means learning how digital environments work, how information is shared and how to make sense of the world around them.
When we think about reading, we often think about written text.
But children also learn to interpret images, colours, symbols, videos, games and digital spaces from a very young age. Long before they become confident readers of books, they are already making sense of visual messages, recognising patterns and understanding how different forms of media communicate ideas.
In a world increasingly shaped by screens, platforms and visual media, learning to read images has become just as important as learning to read words.
Imaginaria Online / Useful information
The practical bits.
Devices, internet, small groups and other useful details.
01
Weekly sessions
Imaginaria Online offers weekly 50-minute learning sessions for children aged 6–12. Sessions are available in both English and Spanish.
02
Small groups
Children are grouped by age and school year whenever possible. Groups are intentionally small, with a maximum of five children, allowing opportunities for participation, discussion and individual support.
03
Join from anywhere
Children can join from anywhere in Australia. Whether you’re in Sydney, Perth, Hobart or a regional town, all you need is a reliable internet connection.
04
Devices and space
Children will need access to a computer or tablet and a quiet space to participate in the session.
05
An adult nearby
No need to pull up a chair and attend the lesson yourself. We simply ask that an adult remains nearby. Computers have their moments. Children do too.
06
Designed for children
Every session creates opportunities for participation, discussion and individual support within an online environment designed specifically for young learners.
Digital literacy / A broader view
Three small reminders for thinking about technology and contemporary childhoods.
01
There is no such thing as “screen time”.
A video call, a documentary, Minecraft and endless scrolling are not the same experience.
02
Technology itself is not the teacher.
What children do, who they do it with and why they are doing it matters.
03
Digital literacy is more than online safety.
It also includes creativity, communication, participation and critical thinking.
What does this look like
in real life?
Digital literacy / 01–06
Digital literacy is part of everyday childhood.

what is digital literacy?
More than using technology. More than staying safe online.
Digital literacy is the ability to understand, question, create and participate in digital environments. It includes practical and technical skills, but also the ability to interpret information critically, communicate effectively, recognise how digital media shapes experiences and engage thoughtfully with the world.
Contemporary researchers generally agree that digital literacy is about much more than learning how to use devices or apps. Children are growing up in a world where information, communication, entertainment and learning increasingly take place through digital media. As a result, they need opportunities not only to use technology, but also to understand it.
Digital literacy involves learning how information is created and shared, how media influences opinions and behaviour, and how digital environments shape everyday experiences. It also includes developing the judgement, creativity and critical thinking needed to navigate an increasingly digital world with confidence and responsibility.
Technology is not going anywhere. The challenge is helping children learn how to navigate it well.
