Forward To A Friend              

The average teen sends and receives more than 3K texts a month.

While technology such as texting (SMS), Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr, Twitter, chat rooms, blogs and vlogs provide many options for increased communication, their use can also dramatically increase personal risk.

The extreme usage of social media devices by some young people has led to severe isolation, self-neglect, depression and academic failure — and in some cases, acute addiction and even death.

In this 90-minute research-based webinar, author and nationally known digital safety advocate Richard Guerry will demonstrate how the dangerous traps that exist in today's social media world can easily ensnare unsuspecting students.  This webinar will help educators and other professionals understand how they can enable students to avoid these dangers — while respecting students' right to privacy and protecting themselves and their schools from liability.

Whether you are tech-savvy or tech-challenged, this webinar will provide insights, practical strategies and best practices that can be used to build awareness with students, staff and parents.  It will feature approaches and activities for helping young people make good digital decisions — thereby greatly reducing the risk of becoming a victim of ongoing embarrassment, painful harassment, cyberbullying, cyber-crimes or other digital exploitation.
