I know parents are feeling overwhelmed trying to Telework and support their children with schoolwork. Many parents are also feeling unprepared. In addition, there is a lot of material on the internet for parents on how to teach young children and it can be overwhelming. It is akin to drinking from a firehose so where do I start? One resource I have come across that I believe gets the balance right is Commonsense education’s  Wideopenschools . Wideopenschools has an easy to follow daily schedule in addition, it has many vetted resources.

Dear Parents

As we get deeper into remote learning, sometimes as parents we worry about children having too much screen time. It has now become a challenge to find a balance between on-screen activities and off-screen activities when using technology. In addition, it is also important that parents should be able to monitor what their children are viewing. I have prepared a few guidelines for device management. In the device management guideline you will find:

1. General suggestions for technology use.
2. Device management and filtering.
3. Device management for Apple devices.
