A Selection of the Feedback from Parents About Technology

Parents and education

“All I can say is do your research before purchasing technology, do your research on online sites that pop up on social media or search engines, invest in good security (loads of affordable deals available for a year cover).”

“Technology is great and can be educationally beneficial but it is important to have realistic expectations of the impact that technology can have and to ensure that a dependece on things such as tablets in everyday life of children doesn’t become an issue..”

“It is everyone’s responsibility – parents, kids, tech companies, schools, government etc. There needs to be a buy in by all parties. Safe use of technology is as important as road safety – the online world is the new traffic!”
