The 2025 Common Sense Census: Media Use by Kids Zero to Eight This year's report confirms that American kids are digital from day one, from the devices they navigate to the videos and games they consume.

#CommonSenseMedia released their Census for 2025: 0-8 Media Use Report. Some interesting similarities between 2020 & post-covid 2025 that surprised me. + More kiddos are gaming now, I do wish it broke down into detail what games. I’m sure we can make an educated guess. #MediaBalance #DigCit

Used the Reality Composer app to 3D scan models of sustainable buildings, researched, designed and built by 4th graders, to upload the 3D object files into #CoSpacesEdu to bring their buildings to the scale of a real city. Ss then got to walk through their city for the future πŸ™οΈ

#CoSpacesEdu is also linked on the G3/4 boards, as we are lucky enough to have licenses for our Ss, even without a login you can access the Gallery with games coded by Ss and Ts all over the world. The CoSpaces team also has a super cute Advent Calendar game on their landing page right now 🎁
