INFORMATION LEARNING TECHNOLOGY

Teachers' use of TA for assessment and attendance, and increasingly for lessons and teaching resources means parents have significant information at their hands through Parent Connect.

With a recent email to all parents assisting them with their access we are seeing the benefits provided by Parent Connect. The use of TA will be extended and several of its other features incorporated into daily use. We are happy to provide parents with ongoing support with their access to the information resources at Scotch College.

The next Parent ILT workshop is:

Parent Connect: the what, why and how.

Monday 19 August 3:45 - 4:30 in the BRC.

ILT Parenting Tip for middle and senior school parents:

Ask your boy when he last backed up his laptop onto Time Machine.

If the answer is a confident "1 or 2 weeks ago", then you should advise him it is time to do it again.

If the answer is a fumbling "um … err … I think …", then tell him to do it immediately (you will be doing him a big favour).

If the answer is "what is Time Machine", tell him he must see his 1Degree coach with his laptop and backup drive ASAP.
