What Parents Need to Know About Remote Learning: Jeff Patterson

Jeff Patterson, CEO of Gaggle, has unique insight into the experience of students’ online lives in today’s remote learning landscape. Gaggle serves school districts around the country through the development and management of a digital student safety net and trained safety experts that schools use to monitor activity on devices and apps, alerting schools to the possibility of students harming themselves or others. In this presentation from Tugboat Institute Summit 2020, Jeff encourages parents and employers of parents to be particularly attentive to the mental health and well-being of children in the academic year ahead. As students face the loss of school and all-important social connections, he offers valuable perspective to help families and employers navigate this period and understand what’s at stake in this unprecedented time.
