Debate table to highlight remote guidance in the face of COVID-19
Last Tuesday, May 26, we brought together professionals from the psychoeducational, health, and new technology fields from different countries (Spain, Colombia, Chile, and Costa Rica) in a virtual debate table organized by Grupo Edelvives, díde, and Google For Education to talk about attention to diversity in times of Covid-19 and to highlight remote guidance.
The professionals participating in the elcolesigue.tv webinar shared their experience and knowledge, and agreed on the importance of knowing the students in depth in order to identify their needs and offer a more individualized education, giving each one what they need.
For their part, the attendees of the online session participated with their opinions and asked questions to the table.
