SUMMARY:Engaging and Teaching Parents About Technology
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in learning how to teach parents about technology? Join Carrie Rogers-Whitehead\, Karina Gathu\, and Tay Gudmundson on December 17 for “Engaging and Teaching Parents About Technology.” \nAbout\nParents can be collaborators or obstacles when the topic of technology comes up. With more remote learning than ever\, schools need parents. Educators often talk to parents when mistakes or accidents happen\, as a reactionary measure.

This webinar will draw from on-the-ground work with hundreds of parents\, sharing survey results with their biggest concerns. Time for questions will be provided. \nFeatured Topics\nIn this webinar\, professionals will: \n\n\n\nlearn the five most important things parents should know about digital citizenship\,\nlearn how\, when\, why\, and who to host a digital parenting event with\, and\nlearn how to be proactive with parents\, not reactive.\n\n\n\nRegistration\nThis webinar is best suited for K-12 teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders.
