Our second Parent Technology Coffee Morning will be on Wednesday, October 1st at 7:30 am in the Project Zone of the ES Learning Hub.
This month we will be discussing online safety and responsibility. We will show two great videos that we actually use with students in classes to model the type of discussions that we are having in school, and to provide conversations prompts for parents at home. We’ll also be sharing helpful tips for turning on Google Safe Search and setting up filters on your computers at home (here are a few great hints from Google to get you started).
To help you plan for future Parent Technology Coffee Mornings, here is our plan for the rest of the calendar year:
Wednesday, November 5th: A Vision of Students Today: This session will be an introduction to the ways in which students learn differently than their parents did.
Wednesday, December 3rd: Information R/evolution: This session will be an introduction to the different ways that information is shared, stored, managed and found in our web 2.0 world.
As usual a summary of all of our discussions will be posted here on the Connect 2.0 blog for any parents that might not be able to attend.
Hope to see you there!
