Dear Mum and dad,

Module 1 on Wednesday 24 May at 3:30pm, 5:30pm and 7:30pm.

Module 1: Kawa of Care and the Digital Immersion Learning Environment

This is an introductory course split into two parts.

Part One in this session covers all the physical features of the Chromebook. It also covers important aspects of The Kawa of Care and ways to practically apply the values of this document in the home.

Part Two is a basic introduction in accessing children’s work from relevant sites. In this session, parents will be shown a classroom site, a classroom blog and then a child's individual blog.

From here parents will be shown the difference between all three, how each site or/and blog may be relevant for different times and how to effectively use them as a means to engage with children’s learning, to to stay informed.

This session will be on Thursday 25 May at 3:30pm, 5:30pm and 7:30pm.

Module 2: Cybersmart Values

Module 2 training is for confident users of Chromebooks or parent s who attended Module 1 in Term 1, split into two parts.

In Part Two, parents will learn practical Cybersmart values to apply in the home. Parents will also learn specific skills e.g screenshots, safe browsing, checking history of devices and other helpful skills for the home.
