Watch a summary video of the Whitefield Primary School EdTech Study Tour and the launch of the Liverpool EdTech Hubs Launch held on the 18th June 2024. 

The event featured several guest speakers as well as an overview of the EdTech Hubs programme and a special pilot opportunity for all Liverpool schools.

'We start right at the start of the school journey, so as our transition into early years, as part of the admission process, we sign people up for the platforms that we communicate on. We get them there and we talk about why we do that and how that will give them a window into their child's learning. And then where we're using those tools, the most effective model, we find with parents is doing things with their children. So if you ask them to come in for an online safety meeting or to sign up for something, they won't. But if you ask them to come and explore something with their children, then they really enjoy that. So that's been a very effective way. It's about showing them how that can give them a window into their child's world, and they've really like that. And then Then you can move into sharing perhaps more the formal things that you want to share. But it's about building relationships and starting early'
