Resource Explorer: For Students & Parents
Overview
The A-JIS Resource Explorer for Students & Parents is a curated database of digital learning tools and educational resources designed to support students and parents at Aoba-Japan International School. This public version of the Resource Explorer is tailored to provide easy access to resources that enhance student learning and engage parents in their child’s educational journey. The platform includes a wide array of tools for academic development, from homework assistance to skill-building applications, all organized for convenient browsing by subject, grade level, and resource type. Each resource entry is clearly labeled with its level of support to help students and parents understand which resources are fully backed by A-JIS and which are available for optional, self-guided use.
Purpose
The purpose of the Resource Explorer for Students & Parents is to empower students with the tools they need to succeed academically and to provide parents with insights into their child’s learning resources. By offering a well-organized, accessible platform, the Explorer encourages students to take charge of their learning and supports parents in fostering a positive educational environment at home. Each resource is categorized with clear indications of support level, so families know which tools have full ICT backing from Aoba and which are supplementary options for independent exploration. This transparency helps families make informed decisions about which resources best suit their educational needs, whether for classroom support, independent study, or enrichment.

Support Information
The Resource Explorer provides clear support indicators to help faculty and staff understand the level of assistance available for each resource:

School Provided and Supported: Resources fully funded and supported by Aoba’s ICT team, ensuring assistance with both access and troubleshooting.
Self-Supported (Free): Verified resources that students and parents can use independently without ICT support. These are free to access, but any issues must be resolved by the user.
Self-Supported (Paid): Optional resources that require budget approval and are available for independent use without ICT support. Suitable for students or parents who wish to access additional tools, provided they coordinate payment and access.
