My kids are going to be doing a lot more learning at home this year due to [insert reason, e.g., school closures, homeschooling choice, blended learning model]. I’m a bit overwhelmed trying to figure out the best way to set things up so they can actually learn effectively here, instead of just being distracted and…
I’m trying to understand how much technology is really integrated into modern learning, especially compared to when I was in school. It seems like everyone is talking about it, but I’m not seeing a lot of concrete examples beyond kids using tablets in elementary school.

Okay, so, my daughter, Lily, is in 4th grade and she’s…bright. Really bright. Like, reads-at-an-8th-grade-level bright. But school’s just not cutting it.
