Student & Parent Workshops
Workshop Philosophy
We believe in the importance of parent-child dialogue regarding technology. Therefore, we structure our student and parent workshops in such a way as to facilitate conversations at home. During the day, we will lead workshops for students that relate to the devices, software, websites and applications they are using (both in school and at home) and specifically touch upon cultural implications and the potential harms that come with Internet usage. We discuss a variety of issues including social media, over-exposure, online predators and cyberbullying – just to name a few. That same day, we will facilitate an evening workshop for parents and teach them about how today’s children are interacting online, the positive and negative implications of technology, and how we can parent with more understanding about the culture of technology for our families. All workshops are highly interactive and encourage dialogue among participants.
