During our current period of eLearning, it’s a great time for parents to have conversations with their children about how, when and why we use our devices for learning, work and entertainment.
Below are different prompts for every day of March, in English, Chinese (Simplified) and Korean. Where possible, there are also links to help parents find resources to help support those conversations or activities. You can download and print out the monthly calendar, or scroll through the slideshow for a prompt a day. Either way, we’d love to hear about the conversations that you’ve had with your child and how they’ve helped you become a Media Mentor for them!
Thanks to Keri-Lee Beasley at WAB for starting this 2 years ago, and thanks to Sandra Chow at Keystone Academy for collaborating with us to share this with as many families as possible.
