Thank You Kathryn!

Paul Davis is a dynamic speaker who knows his topic of online safety so well, that no one in the audience even considers tuning out for even one second. Whether you are 10 years old, 12, 14, 19 years or all stages of adulthood, Paul knows how to connect with, and engage, you as an attentive listener. At Mackenzie King and, our middle school,  Stanley Park ,  Paul has visited us twice within the last three years, speaking to both students and parents. He speaks from his head and his heart with research-based facts and information. He holds us all accountable for making the choice to be safe online. It is our choice. We need to follow rules, keep technology out of our bedrooms, limit usage and make our human contact and interactions  a priority. Family and friends come before our devices. Do our current actions and practices send  this message?  Technology is an amazing tool when used appropriately – Paul will give you practical strategies and tips to keep you safe online. All you need to do is to go home and apply them AND be the parent who makes the decisions in your home and sets boundaries.  Thank you Paul for your commitment of time to stay current in your knowledge and to share your passion for online safety with others because you care about kids.
