Thanks to those parents for their input in the discussion on the role of technology in our children's' lives. The conversation centered around how we can use positive examples of technology and how they can be used to structure conversations at home.

Please do add your thoughts as to what we could discuss at our next meeting, either to the Padlet, as a comment on this post, or directly to ptg@patana.ac.th.

If your children are into games and you have no idea what they are talking about then I highly recommend you explore this site. http://www.everybodyplays.co.uk/parents-guide-to-games. A really good section on the site is The Game Finder - you can search by platform and age.
