Tuesday, October 15, at 12:00 p.m.: Virtual Lunch & Learn for Fletcher Families - Bytes & Balance: Helping Kids Thrive in the Digital World. Register here.
Children and teens today live in a digitally connected world, but many don't have the skills needed to be safe, savvy, and social online. They need our support to use technology responsibly and be good stewards of their digital footprint. During this lunch and learn, we will take a look at the importance of teaching students about these topics and provide families with resources to help manage and monitor life online. Presented by Heather Ramsey, Ed.D., Director of Educational Technology at The Fletcher School.
As schools increasingly integrate technology into the classroom, cybersecurity becomes a critical concern. Learn about the latest trends in protecting student data and ensuring online safety, and how you can contribute to these efforts.
