How to Manage Remote Learning Technology

In this episode, we chatted with Sarah Kimmel from Family Tech (familytechzone...) . She is a Certified IT manager, family tech expert, and digital parenting coach, who spends her days helping families understand and manage the technology in their home.
Like thousands of other families across the country, we have begun remote learning to start the 2020 school year. It's been an up and down process as we manage the technology our son is using.
We pepper Sarah with a ton of questions ranging from:
• What computer should we use? Mac or PC? Is Google Chromebook good enough?
• What parental controls can we use on each platform?
• Is software, hardware, or a mix of both, the best way to implement parental controls?
• How do mobile phones work into this mix?
• What remote learning resources should we check out?
Sarah and her family are avid gamers, so we get real about the safety of Roblox and why the Nintendo Switch is the best platform for kids.
We also touch on TikTok and why she loves it.
You can also listen to Sarah on her own podcast called, Family Tech Talk (familytechzone...) .
