As we move out of the period of remote schooling, how can we keep parents and families engaged with and excited about the potential of digital technology?
In this recorded webinar, Sophie Linington (Deputy CEO, ParentZone) discusses the importance of digital skills inside and outside of the classroom, how to make the most of parental engagement with digital, and what schools can do with a blended curriculum going forward.
