There will be two (02) sessions — one for teachers and one for parents — that will be streamed live on August 20 (for teachers) and August 21 (for parents), both at 1400H (Manila Time) via the Google Philippines YouTube channel and Facebook page.

Speakers are experts from various fields such as Google, YouTube, and the academic community who will share a range of helpful topics from introduction to distance learning for teachers and parents, student assessment and engagement, supporting families with remote learning, the role of YouTube for education, and online child safety among others.
“We want to help our educators and parents as we navigate through the shapes and forms of learning in the time of coronavirus. It is an uncertain period and there is no ready playbook to all the challenges we are facing at the moment but we hope that through efforts like this webinar series, we are able to contribute and play an important role,” according to Mervin Wenke, Head of Communications and Public Affairs at Google Philippines.
