I think it’s fair to say parents are completely overextended lockdowns and homeschooling. As we emerge from this point in time, it’s important for us to reflect: What has this time taught us? How is it likely to affect our children’s future? What can we do to best support our children?
To help answer these questions we welcome our special guest Greg O’Connor. Greg is an Australian educator with over 30 years of experience and is the Educational Technology Manager for Texthelp. The company works with a range of institutions including Western Sydney University and The ACT Department of Education to improve literacy and numeracy skills through technology.
We Greg questions including:
- Do you think we will experience a hybrid / remote learning model post-lockdown? If so, what are the benefits?
- In your article, you share a homeschooling tip that parents should ensure they’re setting clear boundaries. Also how parents can show children what’s expected of them, rather than just telling them. Can you please expand?
- It’s been said that you have stated that “we all need to work together to integrate educational technology into family and school life to ensure all Australian students are digitally literate.” Could you please expand on this?
- Just how important are literacy and numeracy skills for children to succeed in their future workplace?
- What are your expert tips for navigating hybrid in classroom/remote learning?
- What technologies are available to parents and kids to help aid their learning?
