Dear Diamond Vale Community,
We would like to invite you to attend an informative presentation for Parents on Social Media Safety & Digital Literacy. Our goal in offering this opportunity to our DVE Community is to provide our families with a relevant presentation. This year, we have contacted The White Hatter and they have made themselves available for parents on:
WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 10TH, FROM 7 PM – 9 PM
All you need to do is click on the link found at the bottom of this page. Here is a brief description of the presentation that will be provided by The White Hatter.
Best Regards,
Kevin McGifford
Principal—Diamond Vale Elementary
2020/21 White Hatter Social Media Safety & Digital Literacy
Virtual Webinars for Schools and PAC’s
“Virtual training may be new to many schools, but to us, this is what we do best”
Given that COVID-19 has now changed the way that schools are delivering educational lesson plans and content, we here at The White Hatter www.thewhitehatter.ca wanted to provide school districts, schools, educators, students and parents with specifically designed social media safety and digital literacy education programs that are cost effective and could be delivered live online virtually to classrooms and homes (or to both simultaneously if needed) throughout North America. Two goals we strived for in creating these webinar- based programs; make sure they were not cost prohibitive given the fiscal challenges that schools now face and ensure that they could be easily integrated and congruent with a school district’s core competency curriculum and privacy guidelines.
