The Internet, Social Media, and Technology:
Your Child's Digital Life
It's hard to keep up with the latest apps that kids, tweens, and teens are using. Just when you've figured out Facebook, they've moved on to something else like Snapchat or Kik.
Hear about what we're talking about and doing with your children at Summit to be safe, responsible, and respectful when using the Internet, social media, and technology. Join us to learn about continuing the dialogue at home and building on your children's experiences at school.
What will be covered:
- Internet safety -- video chatting, cyberbullying, and oversharing
- Social media -- going beyond Facebook to new apps
- Parent resources -- best practices and latest information
