Parents can be collaborators or obstacles when the topic of technology comes up. With more remote learning than ever, schools need parents. Educators often talk to parents when mistakes or accidents happen, as a reactionary measure. However, schools can be more proactive about preventing those mistakes by reaching out and understanding parents’ situations and worries. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation. Carrie Rogers-Whitehead is the founder of Digital Respons-Ability, a mission-based company that teaches digital citizenship to thousands of parents, students, and educators across the world. Carrie is the author of several academic books on technology and human behavior including: Digital Citizenship: Teaching Strategies and Practice From the Field (Rowman & Littlefield, 2019), Becoming a Digital Parent: A Practical Guide to Help Families Navigate Technology (Routledge, 2020), and the forthcoming The 3Ms of Fearless Digital Parenting (Skyhorse Publishing, 2021).
