Technology and Returning to School–Interview with Sylvan Expert and Giveaway
It’s hard to keep up with technology these days, but it can be incredibly helpful, especially when it comes to our kids and school. As Dr. Rick Bavaria, Education Expert and Senior Vice President for Education Outreach at Sylvan Learning explains, technology can really give a student the edge in their education. Just listen in to the interview we did with him recently to talk about school starting back up and what we can do to help make sure our children end up at the top of their class. Then, comment below with a school tip you would share with other parents to help their children thrive in the classroom. We’ll choose one comment at random to win a $25 Target gift card. You have until midnight EST on September 19th to enter. Good luck with the contest and the school year.

I would ask the child or teacher about some of the topics or information that they went over that day/week in the class and revisit that at home. Children don’t always tell the teacher when they don’t understand something and teachers don’t always ask. Children will be more inclined to tell you.

That’s great advice! I wish teachers could put the lesson plans online so we could refer to them when we have questions.
