Parent Tech Talk Grades K-6th Recording
Mr. Buffington recently broadcasted a live 30-minute Cyber Safety for Parents Session on YouTube.
Since the majority of parents cannot attend these type of events live, here is a replay link. Click on the image to access the recording.
When your child was being delivered at the hospital, did they sit down with you and talk about Roblox, Phone Parental Settings, Online Creepers, and how much time would be required to manage this all when your kid gets his/her first device?
Nah. We had to figure that out for ourselves...usually with lots of trial and error.
Once a year, I livestream a parent cyber safety event. I hope to empower parents/guardians to be proactive and set up their homes and children for digital success.
Here's the recording of my latest stream, and I included helpful bookmarks underneath the YouTube video so you can skip to the sections that interest you the most.
One more thing, the schools I work in Northeast Georgia would love to have a record of viewership. If that's you, please consider filling out the survey by clicking the link below.
