Parents can help their children by learning technology

Parents who have access to broadband technology and the skills to use it can better engage with their children's education, according to a report by the Children's Partnership.

The issue brief, "Empowering Parents Through Technology," presents a roadmap for empowering more parents to become involved with their children's education through technology. According to the report:

Computers and broadband are becoming essential tools to help parents engage in their children's education which can improve their academic achievement and lives.
