Feedback

• . we only had 4 parents attend the evening! .
• We had one very vocal parent who was very
  anti-technology and subsequently gave us very
  poor verbal feedback - he wouldn't complete an
  evaluation sheet. His knowledge of ICT was
  minimal, and so he found it very difficult to
  understand the information being given, and said
  that we had only scratched the surface of the
  problem and left him even more determined that
  his children would not have access to technology,
  despite the fact that he also had 2 children at
  High School. The rest  of our parents remained
  very quiet and didn't give a great deal of
  feedback, but the two evaluation sheets we did
  receive were positive.
• I feel that there may be a need for a more
  intensive course,  with hands on experience of
  using computers, mobile phones, msn, facebook
  etc, so that those parents/carers with minimal
  knowledge are able to feel more confident with
  dealing with potential cyberbullying problems.
• I hope this is useful.
