Implementing ELLA

Introducing ELLA to the children

Introduce the ELLA program to your children using some of these tried and tested methods:

  • Use 'demo mode' to play and talk about App 1 in group time or small groups.
  • Place the tablets in the room and let the children discover and explore as individuals or in small groups.
  • Include props to stimulate discussion and interest (for example, globes and world maps, books, pictures and artefacts). During these discussions, determine children’s experiences and understandings around language, culture and technology.
  • Highlight the linguistic and cultural backgrounds of children and educators.
  • Introduce the ELLA program as part of a broader inquiry or focus around identity, culture or different ways of being.

‘It just seemed to flow when we introduced it ... Jump straight in and just start with the apps. Introduce the apps to the children and just see where it goes from there because the apps have really led our journey.’
