With "Back to School" issues constantly in the news, we want you to know, we are here for you, with recources and special info for parents and teachers. Here's a great report, Understanding by Design. It's a PDF file you can keep. Insights anyone could use when teaching kids. Think of cooking in the kitchen with your son or daughter. Age appropriate details as well. Please use this freely, let us know if you find a broken link and share resources you use. Digital Skills are more important today and tomorrow than ever before. Our $urvival skills are now based on digital literacy. After 4 years of hearing from visitors, talking with parents, and focus groups, we've learned parents care about safety, bullying, access to adult content when online (especially important for home-school parents), and privacy/data.
And a major topic - both parents and teachers raised concerns about technology having such a dominant role in the lives of their children, from toddler to teen. "Technology has too much control over our kids."
