The White Hatter- Digital Literacy and Internet Safety for High School Teens (Grades 8-12) Preview

Education is the first step in keeping our teen safer in today’s technology-driven world. Technology is only a tool, we can determine its function and value because it’s a conscious choice to do so. However, research has shown that without good digital literacy education, it becomes more challenging for students to make the right online choices. Our philosophy, “Let’s enlighten and not frighten through evidence-based research and fact – not fear”

This very engaging presentation provides the knowledge, information, skills, and empowerment that teens and young adults need to know, based on academically peer-reviewed research, actual case studies, and our own empirical online investigative experience. In addition, we bring our first-hand experience in working with students, parents, and educators who were confronted with a bad situation online and needed our help and guidance. The goal of our program – educate students on how to be safer, more digitally literate, savvy, and resilient when participating in the online world.
