Here is the recording of Generations On-line, the first of four events (Dec. 16) dedicated to digital citizenship and computer science, organised by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale and Google to provide answers to parents through an open dialogue on how to live technology and orient them towards IT subjects, learning about new professions [see news: Orientation School].
Parents’ questions were answered by Samuele Sciacca, CEO and Founder of Shuttle Studio, Martina Colasante, Government Affairs & Public Policy Manager for Google Italia, Giorgia Di Tommaso, Solution Architect at the ENEL Group, and Veronica Gebhardt, Computer Science Education Program Manager at Google EMEA.
The session was introduced by Mirta Michilli, Director General of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, and moderated by Silvia Cretella, Founder and Community Manager of Instagramers Roma.
Researcher Ilaria Gaudiello presented the main results of the national survey on “Parents: Findings and Recommendations on Parents’ Knowledge and Awareness on Computer Science in Italy,” which investigated the attitudes of parents towards jobs in scientific subjects [see fact sheet].
In order to involve as many parents and members of the educational community as possible, the first session has been integrated into the final event of the Global Junior Challenge, the international competition dedicated to Linguist Tullio De Mauro and promoted with the Centro Studi Erickson. The focus of the 10th edition is the innovative and inclusive use of technology for high-quality education during the emergency.
