Free tech talks for Gozitan parents, grandparents and other care givers to children are being held on two subjects: Tablets in Schools and Internet Safety. The talks will take place at the Gozo College Boys’ Secondary School in Victoria, and have been organised by the Department of eLearning

Tablets in Schools:

Tablets are coming to our schools. Now what? The talk will illustrate how tablets are a very good educational tool but they need to be used with care. Parents have an important role to play here and participants in the talk will be made aware of the opportunities and challenges of tablet use by children at home and at school.

This talk is taking place on Wednesday, the 7th of May, starting at 10.00am, with speaker Mr Martin Debattista, Project Leader.

Internet Safety:

Online technology is developing very fast and as parents and carers we have to keep abreast of new social networks, chat rooms and also new trends. During this session we will focus on how we may help our children, be more aware of current risks they may face, and enable them to become smart digital citizens and encourage them to be wary of what they post online.

This talk is taking place on Thursday, the 8th of May, starting at 10.00am, with speaker Mr Omar Seguna, eLearning Support Teacher.
