This month's blog is
Involving Parents in Virtual School Learning
.
Virtual learning is a necessity now. And this situation is likely to
continue for at least the foreseeable future as the world grapples to
combat and contain the Covid-19 pandemic.
With the pandemic barely showing any signs of abating schools are
increasingly turning towards virtual learning systems. They're well
aware that students can't afford to miss an entire academic year
Furthermore, virtual learning is also important for schools to prevent
their campuses from becoming areas for the Covid-19 contagion.
In these situations, it's important for schools to encourage and
involve parents in virtual learning too.
