Virtual ParentCamp! Week 10 – Collaborate Spanish, Arabic & Equity rooms, Dyslexia and students/parents check out the Careers Series – Exploring Careers and VR & Gaming! ©ParentCamp, 2019, All Rights Reserved
We hope everyone is having a wonderful Memorial Day holiday weekend! We have an exciting and packed Virtual ParentCamp planned for you this week!
First of all, welcome back to our Arabic friends! We hope you had a wonderful Ramadan season! The Spanish room was flying high last week and the equity room is shifting and looking at social and emotional equity issues. You asked for it! We are joined this week by Parent Education Advocates with Decoding Dyslexia (PA) which is going to be amazing.
In the second part of our Careers Series – We have something special lined up for you and your kiddos. We want to especially invite middle and high school students to explore careers in Virtual Reality and Gaming with engineers from Microsoft! These gentlemen are amazing, they are gamers, they are authors, they have been teachers and they are developing some of the most advanced VR games for Microsoft. So parents and students, please join us!
Check out Laura’s preview video for this week’s Virtual ParentCamp as she previews all of the sessions.
