Thank You to Mrs Vescio – the Principal who saw me at a conference last year, and invited me to speak at her school today. Two great sessions with your students today (and I really loved the Grade 7/8 Q&A session!!)

Parent feedback tonight was tremendous.

A Wonderful Testimonial

I had to share this with you on my main feed (even though it is in the Testimonials Tab, above)

—————————————————————-

“I am working evenings and was unable to attend tonight

However I walked through the door and was bombarded with my daughter explaining everything she learned today. She talked non stop for an hour, took my phone educated me on the do’s and don’ts of social media

If I had explained all this to her she would look at me like I was from Mars.

However, today was an eye opener and from what I understand an eye opener to many people.

So thank you for setting this up. My daughter is social media savvy and educated today hopefully making her safer in the world and in her surroundings. Many thanks”

This parent email sums up the impact of your presentation to the students at Cairine Wilson. They are better prepared for the world of social media with their portable electronic devices with the tips and advice that you provided them. Tom Macartney, Principal, Cairine Wilson, Ottawa

Almost 12 months after my first visit, I returned to St Mary in Oakville today. Students were attentive as last year, and tonight we TRIPLED our parent audience from last time. Word of mouth – can’t beat it. Awesome to be back and make an impact on the community.

St Brigid, Brampton

Today in front of her mother and father, a 9 year old girl shared a comment that I will never forget. “Thank You for making everyone understand”.. Which reflected why her parents had rules and guidelines in her home for online safety. Impacting students is incredibly rewarding. Thank You to staff and parents for a great day.
