The second instalment in our series on screens and schooling, and we’re on a roll. Paper Round this week looks at different ways schools use social media to engage parents; and Kim interviews a South Australian school wellbeing leader about the impact at the coalface of home and school screen use.
Plus, in between times, we get a review of a movie about schooling - well sort of. Do you have any other favourite school movies, apart from School of Rock?
As the gathering of content for the series has taken a bit longer than we expected, there will be a 2-week gap before the final instalment. But do tune in and see what else we might be able to serve up in the meantime - or listen back on whatever you might have missed. (Or if you’ve listened to all 37 episodes already, we want to hear about it!)
