The expert panel will look at how schools and parents have transitioned to schooling at home through the use of distance and online-learning tools and curricula. The panelists will discuss the many options available to parents and how to make good decisions as to what will best meet the needs of their children. The emphasis will be on practical information that parents and educators can use to help children learn well.
