Great stuff Katie. I couldn't agree more with trying to encourage parents and teachers to get away from 'the apparent dichotomy between digital and non-digital'. I've always resented the implication that I have to choose a side. Technology or Paper and Wood? I like to think of the computer or iPad or whatever as just another toy. A way to play, to collaborate, communicate and imagine. My children don't discriminate at all between the iPad and a pop-up book so why should we?
