Stated, Education Leeds’ e-Learning Strategy Adviser, Peter Fletcher, ‘TLB is a very timely product with the launch this week of the Government’s Internet Green Cross Code aimed primarily at parents of primary school children. In addition TLB’s emphasis on home learning fits in well with the parental engagement agenda which is another focus for schools at the moment. The product has clearly raised a lot of interest and a thirst for more knowledge.’

Appointments with a number of schools have been arranged and Education Leeds have asked TLB to undertake a presentation to their City Learning Centre staff in January 2010.

There’s been a high level of interest here in using technology to engage parents with what their children are up to in and out of school; something we at TLB have always strived towards.

Various news outlets have reported that the sudden increase in children coming down with Swine Flu this week coincides with the return of children to school after the summer holidays. One way of helping your kids stay focused on their work is to get some software for your home computer that helps your kids stay on track with their work. Otherwise they will be spending their precious school hours at home emailing, instant messaging or communicating with their mates over social networking sites.

The Learning Bubble’s access to nearly 200 curriculum related web sites and the parental controls that ensure that they only stay working could prove a boon during this disruptive period of their crucial school work. If your kids’ schools have their own learning platforms The Learning Bubble software will still stop them being distracted while working on their school sites too. www.thelearningbubble.co.uk
