Learning Today
In NetCarrel’s work in the education sector we’ve come to realise that the bond that exists between students and their teachers, parents and carers is the most important element in their education; it goes beyond the classroom and it directly relates to the choices they make in their lives and how they interact with future educators, employers, friends and colleagues. NetCarrel are a technology company and we know that tools and the web can help, but beyond and above this our aim is to support these learning relationships and not cloud them with abbreviations, immeasurable targets or technical terminology.
The header of this post comes from a BECTA report which can be read here. It highlights an alienation in both student and parents/carers in arguably the most important juncture of their lives: the awakening of a learner’s mind and the valediction of parenthood.
NetCarrel has worked with global corporations, transatlantic organisations, local councils, world class universities and village schools but some of our most effective work has been on a one to one basis - helping educators, parents and carers, tutors, individuals, charities and trainers in providing the best possible education to their charges. We do this by respecting the privacy and development of the learners whilst offering them the opportunity to engage, through a genuine alternative to traditional media of putting your hand up or asking your parents. Some students don’t have the fortitude for the former or the luxury of the latter - we are dedicated to resolving this.
