Hi parents, I’m Anu, a mother just like you trying to wrestle the tablet out of my child’s hand and constantly jostling for attention with their smartphone.

Sometimes technology can be brilliant, convenient and make life easier each day; but unfortunately, it also has the power to be a distraction and cause physical and mental health problems.
This section of our blog is devoted to discussing the role of technology and education in our children’s experiences. The information provided comes straight from recently published studies in peer-reviewed journals and from reliable online sources. The content has the overarching aim of giving parents the information they need to help their children utilise technology within their schooling experiences, including when preparing for the 11 plus exam.

Some posts will look into the darker side of technology, while others will give us reason to celebrate and cherish latest developments and resources. All of it is provided with an open mind that considers all arguments and research results.
The use of technology is not slowing down and we will attempt to keep up by uploading new content as interesting topics and findings arise. All of our content is free for you to use as you wish and apply to your own exam preparations together. You don’t need to be one of our 11 plus course users to access it, but we hope that the attention to detail in our content also shows you the high standards we have for our learning materials.
