Coming Soon A Virtual Parent-Teacher Meeting

Almost all of us at some point or other must have been part of a conference call, a webinar, video conference and likewise. And so common have these options today that it is impossible to find someone who doesn’t associate with these virtual meeting options. At the same time, many of us who are parents must have been summoned by the school of our children for a parent-teacher meeting.

Have you ever wondered sitting in those meetings, if there was another way of doing those parent teacher meetings? Probably, do these meeting more discreetly or even virtually?

Improving technology is now available to greatly alter and improve the parent-teacher dynamic. While the thought of a virtual parent teacher meeting may have existed for long enough, technology is now fully evolved to bring this to reality. At the same time, educational institutions are becoming increasingly more savvy in employing technology to improve their services. Deploying phone systems is now a viable option being sought by various educational institutions.

Soon enough we will be inhabiting a world where in the ward’s progress reports are digitally delivered and everyday activities of be uploaded to an online dashboard for the parent’s viewing. Dial-in options using phone systems amongst others are several path breaking measures that we will be able to see in our own times as connectivity improves further; parents become more tech-savvy; and our lives become even more connected.

The government is doing its bit in improving the connectivity. The ball is now firmly in the court of the educational institutions to become more enterprising in the use of technology for their parent-teacher liaisons and overall educational benefits. They can employ a dial-in system to let parent’s access the ward’s attendance or progress reports. Conference calls or via two-way voice messaging platforms, mobile app etc. are all avenues that ought to be sufficiently explored to improve parent-teacher relationship.

The education sector is a critical component preparing a nation for its future growth. What we invest in today’s education will determine the magnitude of a nation’s growth in the years to come. The National Broadband Network is an ambitious and hugely beneficial initiative – the government just has to make sure that all students – irrespective of where they come from accrue equitable benefits such that their current situation is only improved, and not diminished by NBN.

There are great many options and whichever be the one that educators and parents decide upon, the underlying principles however ought to remain the same. Improvements in digital connectivity have to result in an expanded reach of education and educational facilities. And secondly it must bring into the educational-fold, a great many of those who are yet outside.

Technology is play a vital role in shaping our present, but by employing technology in education we definitely improve the tomorrow for our children. 

To conclude, technology can play a great role in improving the parent-teacher dynamic. Digital delivery of progress reports, virtual parent-teacher meetings and digitization of the child’s schooling activity are examples of the improvements that technology can bring to the education experience Several path breaking measures will be seen in our own times as connectivity improves; parents become more tech-savvy; and our lives become even more connected.

Benefits to the Educational Sector with Improving Connectivity

Improvements in educational connectivity imply that each one of the stakeholders – students, teachers, parents, industry and government – are provided with relevant connectivity; and greater numbers are bought into the connectivity fold.

With improving digital connectivity a greater number of students can now be brought into the academic umbrella. Although, in urbanized areas the lack of connectivity may not pose a great challenge but for children in the far flung areas, connectivity or a lack thereof, is a major issue in the delivery of education. Not just students connectivity helps bring together all the stakeholders in the educational ecosystem onto one paradigm. Bringing together institutions, teachers, parents, government and industry onto one platform means that the quality of education improves alongside the expansion of those covered under the educational schemes.

Improvements in connectivity means that children can participate in virtual classrooms and educationalmaterial transferred to them without the physical need for them to be present at a school or institution. For the students, especially those living in the far flung areas of the country, remote classrooms couldn’t here sooner. Such that, they have a greater access to the best lecturers, can participate in online workshops and collaborate with students from different parts of the country and world. 

Currently, most of the rural children have to either depend on radio connectivity or sketchy internet options to be able to have access to quality education and research opportunities. This scenario is fast expected to undergo a massive change with the National Broadband Network. This will enable a paradigm shift in availability of connectivity & broadband access, thereby improving educational pursuits. Connectivity improvements also aid better collaborations between institutions, students and faculty. Thus is it is actively evidenced that connectivity greatly enriches and stimulates the learning environment. The need of hour would be to improve learning environments, offer better exposure for students, and give improved connectivity options to facilitate both.

Various governments across the world are looking to improve the connectivity paradigm. The Australia meanwhile has taking major steps in this direction with continued and consistent efforts towards the National Broadband Network. Education and educational pursuits is one of the key areas of focus for NBN with thousands of students from the remote corners of Australia now expected to be part of the digital landscape.

Educational institutions will be quickly required to move into this space and exploit the ever improving connectivity options. Newer teaching and learning methods will need to be evolved as a greater number of students will be virtual than present in the physical. Connectivity will provide students with a great tool to augment their learning and share their worldview. Students can greatly benefit from improved access, expanded digital libraries and virtual content.

Overall improvements in connectivity stand to greatly enhance learning opportunities and environment. Students not only learn better, but it helps to have improved connectivity with parents and other stakeholders. Improved connectivity within and outside educational institutions stands to expand learning horizons.
