On Friday 11th February, we went to visit Milton Road primary school - where we could be filming some footage for the documentary.
We asked a number of questions to 4 children that on the next visit to the primary school, we will interview them for the documentary.
Charlie, Clara, Rachel and Archie are all between the ages of 9 and 10.
All of them except Clara have computers / laptops at home and everyone in Charlie's household have a laptop of their own.
Clara and Charlie both have mobile phones which only allow them to call or find their parents.
They were all introduced to new media at the ages of 4, in reception class at school.
They use the computers for their literacy and maths work, where there are educational games for the different stages of learning.
They all enjoy playing these educational games, especially one called "Cool maths quiz"
They use the laptops / computers at home for personal use: email, social messaging and games.
On average for 30mins every day or every other day, after they have done their homework.
All classrooms in their primary have 'smartboards' which are the new generation of white boards.
These are very beneficial for their learning and all the children agree it is very helpful for them.
Their computers at school only let them access the things they are allowed to use in school.
On our way out of the primary school, there was a room like a library with lots of children using laptops and headphones. This would be good footage to put into the documentary.
