“Leadership isn’t always about being first. Sometimes it’s about knowing who to follow.”

— Anonymous

If we’re spending time on our devices anyway—scrolling through posts, watching videos, catching up on trends... why not make sure some of that time helps us grow as protectors and advocates for children? By intentionally following accounts that focus on digital safety, tech awareness, and child wellbeing, we invite vital information into the stream of everyday content. Nestled among recipes, travel photos, DIY hacks, and celebrity updates, these voices offer thoughtful reminders and teachable moments that can shift our perspective, spark conversations, and help us navigate the online world with greater confidence and care.

Awareness begins with exposure—and a simple follow can lead to powerful insight.

I’m always looking for meaningful accounts to recommend, so if you discover a great one, please don’t hesitate to email me (sbrooks@mpspk12.org) with your suggestions!

Parenting In A Tech World

A Facebook group with over 635,000 members, working together to learn more and support kids through knowledge and support.

Welcome to Parenting in a Tech World! This group helps parents navigate the ever-changing landscape of raising kids in the digital age. It provides a much needed space for parents to support each other, get the scoop on apps, trends, online-safety, & all things tech-related.

Our goal here is to help educate and support families on how to use tech as safely as possible, while also sharing concerns to be aware of. This means awareness and education; this does not mean "anti-tech."

The group is brought to you by PARENTS, and is NOT run or monitored by a company (with profit in mind). ALL questions, comments, advice, and reviews are welcome, and will not be deleted for mentioning any monitoring software or brand, so long as they are civil and courteous.

We're the first generation of parents to have kids with access to smartphones and technology 24/7. Supporting them, while also keeping them safe, isn't easy. Reach out, learn, and feel confident that you have joined a group to support you in this uncharted territory.
