It is understandable for parents to assume that everything included in this course will be taught at school.
This is NOT the case. Sadly it is normally the parent’s responsibility to ensure students take advantage of technology to achieve better grades.

THE BEST RESOURCE A CHILD CAN HAVE IS A WELL-INFORMED PARENT
Shorter courses include fewer technologies
Given courses are taught in school holidays & the duration of school holidays differs. Not wanting to overwhelm, shorter courses concentrate on the technologies that improve the quality of written work.
To ensure students that attend shorter courses do not miss out,
they are invited to join the summer teaching program
at a reduced rate.
Younger Students
The course includes technologies that may not yet be relevant to younger students.
In this case, it is vital that learners and their parents are aware these technologies exist, to ensure they can be used when required.
This is essential training for parents as it helps them know what they should request from schools.
