Real-time engagement are buzzwords of the moment.
With the increasing pace of change built by technical innovation, it is the function of real-time interactive technology to drive flexible and participatory learning for children. Its value is gaining traction as a teacher-led resource and becoming a mainstream device in the education sphere.
It is worth exploring how real-time engagement can apply to children’s digital entertainment, and specifically one-on-one learning delivered from the multimedia world of *streaming television.
Here are some features to help start a journey watching television in a new way with Oz Kids Network, an online digital subscription network for kids by kids currently free with no advertising. We involve children in all the creative processes behind the scenes and on screen.
● Children can write a story and send it in and our celebrity guests from around the world choose one to read out and our award winning animation team at Vishus (The New Adventures of Figaro Pho) make it into an animation.
● Children can also send in a song they wrote, and our celebrity guests sing it on TV.
● Children can also complete a squiggle drawing from one of our celebrity guests and send it back to the show to be featured.
● Children can tune in to watch a Bearly Live show which allows them to talk to a real animated bear LIVE through the TV, and make characters for the show through drawings, etc.
● Children can grow skills to be the next creative thinkers, designers, writers, artists, song writers and film makers.
The Network is doing things differently. We create a safe place for children to create and shine moving them away from social media platforms and the negativity that can arise from those platforms.
We allow them to flourish in a way that makes them celebrate their imagination and discover what makes them unique. We pride ourselves on inclusivity for all and to showcase diversity in many forms.
Every piece of content on Oz Kids Network has a downloadable activity attached to it. We don’t simply ask children to sit down and watch our shows non-stop, we engage children to create, to write, to draw, to design and to have fun experiences.
For children, we deliver 20mins of TV time, then it’s time for them to put down the device and do something creative and send it back to us. Parents and teachers can be reassured children are engaged to watch for a short period of time, then go and create for a longer period.
This makes us the OK Network for kids!
