5 Ways Educators Can Help Families Make Better Use of Tech Outside the Classroom
Article by Edsurge/Michelle Sioson Hyman
Here is a great article by Michelle Sioson Hyman from Edsurge about assisting ‘Ohana to use technology at home. In this article she covers the following five topics:
•Share how you are using technology and what digital media you are using in the classroom.
•Recommend educational apps and programs that children can use at home to complement what is being done in the classroom.
•Partner with other teachers in your school or across your school district to host a parent-teacher learning exchange on the use of technology with young children.
•Avoid only using messages that “scare” parents on the harmful effects of technology use with young children.
•Connect parents to the local library.
